Chapter 196: Chapter 192: Has Dr. Dunn tied the knot with your grandson?
Translator: 549690339 |
Mr. Lewis had secretly investigated Richelle Dunn and found out that she was from South Asia and had no relatives in the Federation. She might have been a special consultant in the hospital but didn’t have more than a bit of talent as a physician.
Most importantly, she had been divorced and lived in a rented, old, shabby house with her two children, which was quite embarrassing.
And such an ordinary woman without any background and just a little charm, dared to hope that her grandson, an outstanding man, would become a cheap stepfather to her wild offspring?
What a beautiful dream!
Thus, from the very beginning, he treated Richelle with arrogance and contempt.
He thought that a humble woman like Richelle would be scared off by his demeanor and then flee from his grandson’s side.
However, Richelle didn’t buy his act at all.
Even more, she fought back fiercely.
What surprised him the most was that someone actually came to speak up for
her halfway through.
At first, he thought that the person was just some random passerby.
But it turned out that the one defending this physician was none other than
Mrs. Camrey, of Kindur’s newly rich Camrey family!
“Mrs. Camrey, this is my family matter. It’s better for you not to intervene and
bring trouble to yourself.”
Although Mr. Lewis was surprised, he didn’t take Mrs. Camrey seriously.
After all, there was simply no comparison between the Lewis and the Camreys.
Moreover, Mrs. Camrey was a generation younger than him.
Mrs. Camrey, however, shared similar temperament with Richelle and couldn’t stand those men who treated women as mere attachments or child-breeding tools.
“Mr. Lewis, how come this became your family matter? Dr. Dunn personally admitted being with your grandson? Or did they get a marriage certificate?
Mrs. Camrey was not a pushover either. She had just stepped out and heard Richelie’s calm yet powerful response, and immediately she grew fond of her.
She gave a signal of approval to her son Hugo and then quickly stepped forward to rescue Richelle.
Of course, she believed that Richelle herself could make Mr. Lewis speechless. However, the girl still had to survive in Kindur, and truly offending Mr. Lewis was nothing good.
Mr. Lewis was displeased with her words.
“Mrs. Camrey, what kind of charm has this doctor cast on you and your son?”
Mrs. Camrey didn’t even know that Richelle Dunn was a well-known international expert. But this fact didn’t affect her fondness toward Richelle at all.
“Old man, let’s say she has indeed charmed us, and we leave the matter as it is today. If you really think there’s something going on between her and your grandson, you should talk to him. You are involving a young girl, what’s the point? Is your grandson, a grown man, unwilling, or can this girl tie him up or knock him out to force him?”
Mr. Lewis was left speechless by Mrs. Camrey’s words, and she concluded her point by taking the opportunity to take Richelle by the arm and bowing slightly to Mr. Lewis.
“Sir, I will take her away now, my apologies.”
Richelle didn’t want to have a big conflict with Mr. Lewis, so she went along
with Mrs. Camrey and turned to leave.
Hugo, who was standing behind the two, heard the entire conversation clearly.
Once they were in the elevator, he couldn’t help but ask after taking a few serious looks at Richelle.
“Richelle, you and Roy Lewis…”
Richelle glanced at him, “There’s nothing between us.”
At least, not yet.
Hugo sighed with relief.
Yet Mrs. Camrey, who was standing beside them, could see through everything and knew that her foolish son had no chance.
Mr. Lewis was not a fool; on the contrary, he was extremely insightful and observant.
He must have sensed something to be so rude and harsh to a young woman without any consideration for his own dignity.
However, Mrs. Camrey had no intention of sharing her suspicions with her son.
Sometimes, pursuing something that was seemingly impossible was not necessarily a bad thing.
In the past, she always thought that her son would just play around and live aimlessly for his entire life.
It wasn’t until recently that she noticed her son has become more focused and responsible, both in terms of people and things he cared about.
All these changes probably began when Dr. Dunn came into his life.
“Mrs. Camrey, thank you for just now!”
Richelle didn’t pay any more attention to Hugo but sincerely thanked Mrs. Camrey instead.
Mrs. Camrey grabbed her hand again, “Dr. Dunn, you are my lifesaver. If I don’t help you, who will cure my disease?”
Not wanting to make Richelle feel awkward, Mrs. Camrey naturally changed the topic and continued after a pause, worrying that Richelle might still feel uncomfortable.
“Those words I said to Mr. Lewis were just to irritate him, you don’t take them to heart. Of course, both Hugo and I like you very much, but you don’t need to feel any pressure from this.”
Richelle smiled and nodded, “I understand, anyway, Mrs. Camrey, you really helped a lot just now.”
Her rational side reminded her not to make things too tense with Mr. Lewis. However, her hot temper had never held back for anyone, except for her children.
At that moment, she just let go and confronted him.
Of course, after saying those words, she felt much relieved.
However, her relationship with Mr. Lewis had almost reached the freezing point in that instant.
Putting everything aside, she wouldn’t mind having a conflict with Mr. Lewis.
Richelle Dunn had never been used to pleasing people.
But he was still Timmy’s great-grandfather, and making the relationship too tense would only make her son uncomfortable.
Mrs. Camrey came to her rescue just as their relationship was about to be completely destroyed, giving them a chance to potentially mend their relationship.
Mrs. Camrey patted her hand, “Alright! Don’t be formal with me. If you need anything, feel free to find me anytime. This has nothing to do with that stinker. It’s purely based on our personal friendship.
Mrs. Camrey was quite picky in judging people, but she found Richelle pleasing right from the beginning.
It’s just a pity that her stinker of a son didn’t have such luck!
Richelle felt the warmth and goodwill from Mrs. Camrey’s hand and was filled with an indescribable warmth.
“Okay, I won’t be formal with you!”
Throughout her life, besides her teachers in school, Mrs. Camrey was the second female elder so kind to her in her personal life.
Mrs. Camrey’s kindness, which was radiant, charming, and of great compassion, was different from the kind, tofu-heartedness that she had received from her teacher.
If Richelle had to define their relationship, Mrs.. Camrey felt more like a mother to her!
