Richelie Dunn gave a soft response and after a moment recalled a promise she’d made to bring Timmy a gift upon her return.
“Mr. Lewis, could we make a stop at the supermarket by the neighborhood entrance?” she asked.
Roy Lewis assumed she wanted to buy something. When the car stopped, he also got out and instructed the driver, “Wait here.”
Parker, who was lately in charge of driving the young master, paid attention to the father-son conversations in the car. Therefore, he clearly understood what Dr. Dunn represented was not merely a doctor to them.
So, when his master told him to wait, he did not object. He parked the car and waited by the supermarket entrance.
Roy Lewis accompanied Richelie into the supermarket. Surprisingly, she did not grab a shopping cart but wandered over to the toy crane machines located on the left side of the supermarket. She finally stopped in front of one machine.
Soon, an employee came over to change her money into game tokens. With a “ding”, Richelie threw one in.
“Miss, would you like to exchange a few more?”
The employee kindly reminded her, knowing the difficulty of winning a toy from the crane machine.
However, before she finished speaking, Richelle, with remote control in hand, had successfully grabbed a little lion she’d eyed. The mechanical arm then steadily delivered the lion to the location above the exit space. When the arm loosened, the lion fell down from the machine.
The entire operation, from inserting a coin to the small lion falling out of the machine, took less than a minute. Richelie’s moves were smooth and efficient.
The employee stared at her, flabbergasted, “Miss, you…”
She had never seen such an efficient operation in her time working there.
Richelle bent over to pick up the lion, waving at the employee cheerfully, her eyebrow cockily raised.
“One coin is enough. Asking for more; that might put you guys out of business,” she said.
The employee regained her composure, let out a cold sweat, and gave an embarrassed smile towards Roy Lewis.
“Sir, your wife is very talented!”
Richelle shook out the little lion’s fur happily and didn’t hear what the employee said.
Roy only deeply looked at Richelle, noticing her childlike glee in caring for the lion, a small smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
After Richelle tidied the lion’s fur, she looked up and met Roy’s eyes, a look that contained a hint of an inexplicable smile. She didn’t think much of it and instead gestured toward the supermarket exit.
“Mr. Lewis, let’s go.”
Roy, in a good mood, matched her pace. It took him a couple of steps before he realized something.
“Is the lion for Timmy?”
Richelle shook the lion paw at him, “Yes, isn’t it adorable? 1 once got two identical lions from this machine for Timothy and Tifanny. They loved it so much that they always sleep with it. As soon as Timmy saw that, he wanted one too. 1 came here a few days ago, but they didn’t have it. Fortunately, they have it today.”
Roy looked at the inexpensive toy in her hands, which Richelle held as if it were a precious gift. Her gentleloving demeanor when speaking of Timmy warmed his heart.
“Timmy will definitely love it.”
He had always been vexed in the past that no matter what gift he gave his son, the aloof little boy only ever responded with an emotionless ‘thanks’, showing no liking whatsoever.
Now he finally realized, it’s not that Timmy is aloof. It’s because he, as a father, has never given heartful thought to a gift that his son would like.
Just as Roy guessed, Timmy loved the little lion.
He even named it “Kiki”.
At first, Roy thought it a strange name, only to receive a dismissive glance from his son.
“Daddy, it’s not the strange, ‘qi,’ it’s the united, together kind of ‘qi’.”
Kiara Dunn and Roy Lewis are both taken aback for a moment.
But what they imagined in their minds were completely different things.
Roy Lewis was thinking of Kiara Dunn and the Dunns.
As for Richelle Dunn, in addition to the elder son in front of her, she was also thinking of Timothy and Tiffany, who were on vacation in the countryside.
She sighs silently in her heart, wondering when the four of them, mother and sons, could genuinely live together as a family.
After dinner, Roy Lewis has to return to his study to handle some business.
Richelle Dunn is not in a rush to go home and joins Timmy in his room to video chat with Timothy and Tiffany.
Seeing that Mommy is with big brother, Timothy and Tiffany squeal with joy, “Mommy, are you back from your business trip?”
Richelle Dunn nods, “Yes, the patient has made great progress and is out of danger, so Mommy came back early. How about you guys, are you having fun?”
Timothy and Tiffany take turns telling about the entertaining incidents from the countryside. Meanwhile, Timmy leans comfortably against Richelle Dunn, gleefully watching his younger siblings, listening to their stories of life in the countryside, with a look of longing in his eyes.
Once they finish, he caringly asks.
“Next time, can Daddy take us out to sea to see the dolphins?”
Both Timothy and Tiffany clap their hands in agreement. Then, Timothy asks.
“Brother, have you seen it before?”
Timmy shakes his head, “No, 1 want to watch it with my brother and sister!”
In the past, Timmy was uninspired to do many things. But now, no matter how simple or trivial, he is brimming with enthusiasm for anything that involves his younger siblings.
The family of four chatted until after nine. Richelle Dunn urges the kids to finish up and go to bed. Reluctantly, Timothy and Tiffany end the call.
Timmy also goes and takes his bath. When he comes out of the bathroom, he is running. Seeing that Richelle Dunn is still seated by the bed, he finally breathes a sigh of relief and slowly crawls onto the bed.
Richelle Dunn takes in his actions with amusement. However, she pretends as if nothing happened, covers him with the blanket, and starts telling him a bedtime story while gently rubbing his back.
After about fifteen minutes, Timmy starts to feel sleepy, his eyes growing heavy.
At this moment, Roy Lewis walks in. Richelle Dunn makes a ‘shush’ gesture towards him. He sits on the other side of the bed, leans forward, and starts lightly stroking Timmy’s head.
Timmy reaches out in his sleepy state and grabs Richelle Dunn’s hand, mumbles “Mommy…”
Richelle Dunn is taken aback, a thin layer of sweat forming on her back. She peeks at Roy Lewis.
Surprisingly, Roy Lewis’s gaze is not on her.
He gently strokes Timmy’s head with a tender expression. Only when Timmy’s eyes are completely closed, and he begins snoring softly, does he look at Richelle Dunn.
“Dr. Dunn…”
Richelle Dunn’s heart races, thinking he discovered something and is now coming after her. She quickly tries to think of a way to respond while pushing down the anxiety in her heart and pretends to look calm as she meets his eyes.
To her surprise, Roy Lewis does not question her about anything. Instead, he gives a self-deprecating smile.
“Has Timmy ever told you? His mother is a very bad woman!”
[Master Lewis, what are you hinting at? Hmph….]
