In the end, Roy Lewis didn’t dare to push Tifanny too hard, so he called Richelle Dunn. They decided over the phone to have dinner at a buffet with the children.
The kids also loved buffets, as they were lively and offered a variety of delicious foods to choose from.
Roy didn’t have any specific food preferences, but he was concerned about the safety of buffets.
However, he didn’t want to mention this to the kids or let them know, as it would dampen their enthusiasm.
So, when he went to pick up Richelle with the kids, he called the manager in advance and requested a private room. He also brought extra bodyguards with him to ensure the safety of the children and Richelle.
Fearing that the children might get suspicious, he specifically asked Uncle Axel to arrange for a few unfamiliar faces, dressed as ordinary people, to accompany their family during the meal.
Timothy and Tifanny had only been back at the Lewis for a few months, so they weren’t as vigilant about their surroundings and people.
Thus, the two of them happily picked out their food with their plates, while Timmy furrowed his brow upon noticing the presence of their bodyguards.
Taking advantage of Richelle accompanying Timothy and Tifanny to get ice cream, Timmy whispered to Roy.
“Daddy, my allergy incident wasn’t an accident, was it?”
Although Timmy grew up in the admired Lewis family, seemingly receiving all the love and attention, the malice and loneliness he felt from the Lewis family members and Jayden Dunn’s family were beyond what an ordinary child could imagine.
Compared to him, despite also growing up in a single-parent family, Timothy and Tifanny had a loving environment, so even when Richelle implemented crisis education, the two still couldn’t perceive dangers as keenly as Timmy.
In recent days, Roy had conducted a large-scale investigation but still hadn’t found any leads.
He thought he had concealed his concerns well at home, but his son’s keen intuition saw through him.
“Yes, but baby, don’t worry. Daddy and Mommy will take care of everything.”
Timmy glanced at the bodyguards behind his mommy and siblings, then nodded.
“Then, we should also have bodyguards when we return to school.”
Roy thought that Timmy would have a strong reaction after learning the truth, but he didn’t expect him to be so calm.
“You don’t object?”
Timmy used to be quite rebellious, hating restrictions and many rules. So, his voluntary suggestion to have bodyguards surprised Roy.
“As long as it makes my brother and sister safer, I don’t mind.”
Roy bent down to kiss Timmy’s forehead, “Yes, that’s what Daddy and Mommy think too. Nothing is more important than the safety of you three siblings.”
“Daddy, not many people know about my allergy, but Kiara Dunn should.”
Roy was surprised by Timmy’s calmness, “Do you think it’s her?”
Although Roy and Richelle also suspected Kiara or someone from the Dunn family, they had more reasons for their speculation.
“It’s possible. She hates me! More than you guys realize!”
When Timmy talked about this, his eyes were cold and indifferent.
Even though it was in the past, seeing Timmy like this, Roy couldn’t help but feel guilty again.
“Baby, I’m sorry. I should have listened to you more carefully before.”
Timmy shook his head, “It’s useless. They’re great actors.”
A chill rose from Roy’s bones, and he couldn’t imagine if it weren’t for Richelle’s appearance, would he have been continuously deceived by the perfect acting of the Dunn family members?
And continue to let his precious son suffer from harm and torment?
Only when his son had enough ability to fight back, could he truly break free from the clutches of the devilish Dunn family.
Roy hugged him tightly, “Baby, I’m sorry.”
Timmy patted his back with his little hand, “Daddy, it’s not your fault. Besides, we’re very happy now, aren’t we?”
Timmy’s words seemed to come from a mature adult who had experienced hardships rather than a five-year-old child.
“Yes, we are very happy now. So you and your brother and sister must be good!”
Timmy nodded, “Don’t worry, Daddy. I’ll keep an eye on my brother and sister.”
As father and son chatted, Richelle returned with Timothy and Tifanny.
The three of them were holding plates full of food. “What were you talking about while we were away?”
It had been a long time since Richelle saw Timmy and Roy chat alone, she even thought that Timmy was jealous of his brother and sister at some point.
Compared to Timmy, Roy’s attention was obviously more focused on Tifanny and Timothy.
She had privately advised Roy to treat all three children equally because if any child were hurt, they would all feel bad.
However, Roy told her, “Timmy can understand. Timothy and Tifanny have been missing their father’s love for five years. I need to pay more attention to them and get to know them better.”
Richelle didn’t agree with his idea and approach, but Roy insisted.
“Actually, we’re both the same. You pay more attention to Timmy than to Tifanny and Timothy too..”
