Chapter 677: 673: As Your Husband, Can't I Even Be Jealous?
“Sure, as long as you, Auntie Anderson, don’t mind the workload.”
They always enjoyed healthy competition and exchange.
However, their opponents had always been their family in the past. Now, having the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with former professional chess players was honestly quite exciting for the brothers.
The chess interaction was hence settled, the interview was completed, and Anderson agreed with Richelle Dunn to show her the initial draft three days later, then her interview team left.
Due to the delay caused by the interview, they returned home later than usual.
Roy Lewis greeted his sons with a hug at the entrance, then when the boys ran off to play with their sister who had returned home earlier, he hugged Richelle Dunn. He kissed her passionately until she was out of breath, only then did he loosen his grip.
Richelle found his enthusiasm a bit excessive today, so she buried her head in his chest for a bit before looking up at him.
Her hands wrapped around his neck, looking at him with misty eyes.
“What’s happened to you today?”
Roy Lewis was never a cold person, he always showed extreme enthusiasm towards Richelle Dunn.
However, being a father of three, he knew when and where to show his affection.
Usually, when they returned home like this, although he would kiss her, it’s usually a quick peck.
It was rare for him to hold her so tightly like just now, almost as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
Roy Lewis was also still a bit out of breath, he lowered his head and gently rubbed her nose with his.
“Is the editor handsome?”
His voice was very low, and amidst it, there was a faint sound as if he were grinding his back teeth.
A chuckle escaped from Richelle as she struggled to suppress her laughter.
Seeing Roy Lewis grinding his teeth again, she quickly reached out her hand to touch his face, chuckling.
“Master Lewis, are you jealous?”
She thought that Roy Lewis would deny it.
However, to her surprise, Roy Lewis readily nodded, sounding somewhat displeased.
“What, so your husband isn’t allowed to be jealous?”
Richelle was about to burst into laughter.
And she did not hold back.
She laughed heartily, leaning her head on his shoulder.
Roy Lewis was just slightly jealous to begin with, but seeing her laugh until she shivered, he slightly darkened his face.
He gently cupped her chin to make her lift her face up, and bit on her lips that were shivering from laughter.
He growled at her, “No laughing!”
Startled by the pain, Richelle finally stopped laughing, but her eyes were still foggy, full of laughter.
“Oh Lord, Master Lewis, you’re going to kill me with laughter!”
Having spoken, Richelle was rewarded with another glare from Roy Lewis.
“Honey, don’t push me…”
Richelle shivered involuntarily when hearing this.
It was unclear whether out of fear or excitement.
Last time when he had made the same threat…
Then as a result, she was kept awake until late at night…
Considering all the piled-up errands recently, Richelle finally wisely conceded.
She hooked her arms around Roy Lewis’s neck, pressed her face against his stern expression, and gently nuzzled against his cheek.
“Of course, you have the right to be jealous, but you shouldn’t be irrational about it!”
Roy Lewis scoffed, “Irrational? You said the interview would be half an hour, but you returned over an hour late…Don’t tell me that our two sons were so charming, they completely enraptured Editor Anderson…”
Once again, Richelle could not help but burst into laughter.
She chuckled as she kissed the grumpy man on his cheek.
“Okay, Editor Anderson is a woman, and yes, just like you said, she is indeed enchanted by our two naughty sons. She wanted to do a private interview at one time, then she wanted to have a chess match at another. Can’t that explain why we were late?”
Roy Lewis looked at her doubtfully, his dark eyes fixated on her.
“Really?”
Richelle nodded, “Of course, you can ask your two precious sons!”
Richelle thought that by this point, Roy Lewis should believe her.
As it turned out, he released her, took her by the hand, and walked into the living room.
“Timmy, Timothy, come here.”
The two little ones, sprawled across the coffee table doodling, lifted their heads. Their sparkling eyes stared at Roy Lewis, and they chorused, “Daddy, what’s up?”
Roy Lewis then asked, “Did Editor Anderson also want to schedule another special interview on top of the interview about Spartan?”
Timmy and Timothy exchanged puzzled glances. Then, Timothy answered.
“Yes, Auntie Anderson seems very interested in us. Apart from wanting a special interview with us, she also wanted to practice chess with us. She used to want to become a professional chess player.”
Their sons’ answer did not differ from Richelle’s explanation at all.
Only then did Roy Lewis feel completely reassured.
Richelle understood that Roy’s uneasiness and disbelief were because he had been shut indoors for too long. Even though he had been keeping up with outside information, not being able to step outside himself caused feelings of uncertainty and fear of loss to grow out of proportion.
Considering all this, Richelle felt all the more sympathy for Roy Lewis.
She hoped even more earnestly that the situation in Leutonia could be resolved soon.
By then, Roy Lewis would be able to step out into the sunshine again.
And their family of five could once again happily go out and have fun!
