Chapter 258 - 258: 254: Mr. Lewis, We Never Had Any
Feelings for Each Other
Translator: 549690339 |
After he got busy last night, Roy Lewis finally had some time to think about everything that had happened since he arrived in South Asia and met Richelle Dunn. Besides the feeling of surreal dreaming, he, an unbeliever of both gods and the Almighty, would find himself silently thanking them in his heart.
He was grateful to gods and the Almighty for allowing him and Richelle Dunn to miraculously reunite in the vast ocean.
Otherwise, he would never have known that besides Timmy, he also had such a lovely pair of children.
Indeed, even before this, he had sincerely considered Timothy and Tifanny as his children. Moreover, he had always thought it strange that he, who had never liked other children apart from his own son, would feel so concerned about Timothy and Tifanny.
At that time, he had only thought that the two children were extraordinarily obedient and sensible and that he had some kind of affinity with them. Besides, he was somewhat inclined to love them because of his affection for their house.
Thinking about it now, Timothy and Tifanny had a fatal attraction to him from the beginning.
And this fatal attraction was most likely the bond of blood kinship.
When he woke up this morning, his mind was filled with thoughts of Richelle and his beloved children, who had suddenly, and inexplicably, multiplied like copied and pasted triplets. All of them were handsome, beautiful, intelligent, considerate, and sensible.
He thought that perhaps, his current state was like the happiness of being in a dream from which one would wake up laughing.
Of course, the only regret was that he had angered Richelle.
And this would be the first and most urgent problem he’d have to solve in the following days.
Nathan Caroule was knocked out by Roy Lewis’s deadly blow, clutched his chest, and wailed to Timmy and Timothy.
“Timmy, Timothy, please control your arrogant dad!”
Timothy shook his head with a grin, implying something.
“I can’t control him…”
Nathan immediately understood, “Oh, I need to go to Dr. Dunn and complain!”
Roy Lewis glared at him while the children laughed at Nathan’s exaggerated funny actions and words.
Roy Lewis put Tifanny down and let the children spend time with Nathan while he went to the kitchen.
Although Richelie’s villa was incomparable to Roy’s, it was still much larger than their previous house, where the living room and kitchen were only a few steps apart.
Although Richelle could hear the noise from the living room while she was in the kitchen, she couldn’t make out what they were saying.
However, she could recognize Roy Lewis’s footsteps.
So when the footsteps grew closer, she turned and asked him directly,
“When are you going back to Kindur?”
Roy Lewis thought she was just trying to get rid of him. Little did he know, Richelle was simply trying to find something to say, not wanting to ignore him completely but not particularly wanting to engage with him either. It was just an offhand question.
Roy Lewis had just received the warm affection of his three children, and now her question made his heart suddenly cold.
However, if Roy Lewis were so easily defeated and discouraged, he wouldn’t be Master Lewis.
“No rush, I’ll wait for all of you to go back together. Otherwise, it would be too tiring for you alone to take care of the three children.”
Richelle was left speechless.
He made it sound like she had taken the three kids to South Asia with him accompanying them.
However, at the moment, she didn’t want to have any more unnecessary communication with him, and she didn’t want to be alone with him either.
“Breakfast is almost ready, go and accompany the children.
Although it sounded like a reasonable request, Roy Lewis knew that she just didn’t want him to annoy her.
But he couldn’t help his longing for her company, even if she was cold to him, even if they didn’t speak, he still wanted to be close to her and be alone with her for a while.
“I can help you…”
He had just been standing at the kitchen door, but now he took the initiative to step inside, not caring about Richelle’s gaze. He turned on the faucet, washed his hands, and pointed to the food on the countertop,
“Is there anything I can help with?”
Seeing that he was determined to stay, Richelle had no choice but to nod her head, pointing towards the refrigerator.
-There’s milk in the refrigerator, and three identical glasses in the cupboard.
Pour three glasses of milk and heat them in the microwave.”
Roy Lewis nodded and opened the cupboard. In an instant, he saw that all the children’s utensils in the cupboard, be it cups or bowls, were available in three identical sets.
Moreover, two sets were evidently frequently used, showing heavy signs of
use.
But one set, however, was clearly brand new, though the design was identical to the other two sets.
Roy Lewis hesitated and asked uncertainly.
“Richelle, do you prepare three sets of everything for the children?
Richelle Dunn hummed lightly in response, not turning around to face him.
At that moment, Roy Lewis’ heart suddenly felt as if it were being tightly constricted, creating unbearable pain.
He couldn’t imagine the agony and impact that Richelle Dunn, the children’s mother, had faced for the past four years each time she took out the tableware and saw the brand-new set.
Yesterday, when he learned from Timmy that the four of them had already known about each other since the second day he and Richelle Dunn met, he was a little heartbroken.
The sorrow of feeling deceived and distrusted weighed heavily on him.
But now, as he tried to empathize with Richelle Dunn’s feelings, he suddenly let go of his gripes.
After regaining what was once lost, she was anxious to protect all three children under her wings. She didn’t dare take even the slightest risk.
Because if she lost the gamble, perhaps none of the utensils in her house would ever be used again.
“Richelle!”
He turned around and stared intently at her.
Richelle Dunn tilted her head, looking at him inexplicably.
“These past years must have been hard on you.”
Richelle Dunn glanced at him in silence, then turned her head back to continue making pancakes.
The more Roy Lewis saw and understood, the more blame he placed on himself. So even if she didn’t respond, he still had to express his feelings.
“I’m really sorry for everything that happened these past days! It’s my fault for not trusting you enough and not properly assessing our feelings, which led to being provoked by Harris Dunn.”
Regarding what Harris Dunn had sent to Roy Lewis, Richelle Dunn was actually quite curious.
However, she didn’t want any unnecessary contact with him now, so there was no need to bring up these topics and create more opportunities for them to interact.
-Mr. Lewis, we never had any feelings for each other to begin with. Everything is solely for the sake of our three children. Don’t think too much about it.”
Of course, these were not Richelle Dunn’s true sentiments.
But since he had said those harsh, judgemental words back then, not even giving her a chance to explain;
Now, she naturally had the right to deny everything.
Because it was him who ruined the trust and feelings between them.
Roy Lewis felt bitterness in his heart, but couldn’t find the words to express it. “Alright, I understand. Then, as the children’s father, may I request to take care of them together with you?”
Roy Lewis knew that the hurtful words Richelle Dunn said were just made in anger.
Moreover, he also knew that the children were his all-access pass with Richelle Dunn.
As expected, as soon as the topic of the children was brought up, Richelle Dunn casually replied without even thinking.
“Whatever you like!”
He could tell that no matter how cold she was towards him, she could never bear to see the children suffer.
Roy Lewis decided to tempt her further. “You must have a lot to do in Kindur, right?”
Richelle Dunn, however, didn’t fall for his trap. “In this digital age, I don’t need to be in Kindur to command legions of people.”
Roy Lewis was left speechless.
For the first time, he found that her intelligence was not such a good thing!
