Timmy saw his mother returning, smoothly shifting his position so that his mother could sit next to dad. Then he stretched out his arms to take the plate Tiffany was holding.
Roy Lewis accepted with a smile, the food Timothy was holding, placing it on the table and responded to Richelie Dunn.
“We were chatting about manly matters!”
Timothy widened his eyes in surprise. “Dad, how about me?”
Roy Lewis tousling his hair, playfully responded, “I’ll talk to you later!”
Timothy grinned, nodding compliantly, “Okay! I’m also interested in Dad and brother’s manly conversations.”
Tiffany grinned cheekily, looking up at Richelle, “Mommy, let’s have a princess chat tonight.”
Richelle laughed, “Sure! Tonight, little sister will sleep with mommy, while the two brothers sleep with dad, alright?”
Family of five, happily settled down their sleeping arrangements for the night.
The family had a hearty dinner before returning home. Each of them took a bath. The children were browsing through some books and playing games, before it was time to go to bed.
Timothy and Timmy were visibly excited, bouncing and jumping on their father’s bed.
Timothy giggled, commenting to Roy Lewis, “Dad, this bed has a nice bounce.”
With this being an expensive bed with a price of several tens of thousands, it certainly had a good bounce.
But could probably not withstand such harsh abuse.
But Roy Lewis just affectionately chuckled, “Really? Then jump a little more, daddy is going to make a call.”
The call Roy Lewis made was to one of his friends in Lordon’s circle.
He requested them to see if there was a way to get the latest news about Kiara Dunn.
Ever since the wedding fiasco, Kiara Dunn seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth. Neither Roy Lewis nor Richelle had any clue of her whereabouts.
Even her close friends who used to hang out with her claimed that they haven’t heard from her in a long time.
By the time he finished his call, the two kids had already finished their frolicking in bed and were whispering about something while lying on the bed.
It was just past nine, Roy Lewis usually used to tell bedtime stories to the children with Richelle, coaxing them to sleep at this time.
But today, seeing that three generations were sleeping together, it was time to share some manly tales.
“Timothy, come, come over to daddy.”
Roy Lewis sat in the center of the bed, inviting his sons to lean against him side by side.
“Today, dad is going to tell you a story about your grandparents.”
Timmy knew a little about the grandparents, but both Timothy and Tiffany were quite unaware of their existence.
Roy initially planned to wait until the kids were older before discussing the brutal and bloody matter.
But Timothy’s words today had a deep impact on him.
Even though Timothy’s personality seemed more open and lively compared to Timmy, Roy knew he was no fool. Like Timmy, he was also a responsible and resilient little man.
“When Dad was about three years old, he was kidnapped by a group with a grudge against our family. Your grandpa in order to save me gave the kidnappers the ransom they demanded. As a result, the kidnappers, to get rid of any loose ends, opened fire at me as soon as they received the money.”
“Your grandparents threw themselves in the line of fire to protect me. Although the police arrived on the scene, in the end, only I was able to be rescued… your grandparents didn’t make it…”
Roy spoke very slowly. Although it was a short narration, it seemed to take a long time.
Timothy lay motionless in his arms. After he finished his story, he remained quiet and it took him some time to raise his body and lean closer, his eyes glistening red as he looked at Roy.
“Dad, don’t be sad…”
Roy caressed his small face, “Mmm, your dad is not sad.”
Timothy’s hand rested gently on his face. “Dad, I want to learn martial arts like my brother.”
All three children until now were learning shooting, but only Timmy had continued martial arts training.
Regarding Timothy’s reason, Roy Lewis didn’t question him because he knew how was Timothy feeling.
“Okay, starting tomorrow, I will include you in the martial arts class along with your brother. However, you have to start from the basics.”
Timothy nodded furiously, “No problem!”
Timmy sat up and gripped Timothy’s small hand, “Little brother, I will help you!”
After talking about his father, Roy Lewis continued to share the story of his childhood, how he took over the Lewis Group, with his sons.
These were things he had never mentioned before.
He hadn’t even explicitly discussed these with Richelle.
As for these experiences, if he didn’t mention them, people only saw the perfect outcome and said he was lucky.
But the pain and hardship in-between, he never mentioned.
Firstly, he believed that talking about it wouldn’t change anything.
Secondly, he always believed that those who were not part of it, even if they were told, would not be able to truly understand his feelings.
But now, when he chatted with his sons about these, he did not extravagantly hope that they would understand.
He just wanted them to understand, if they wanted to achieve something, even if they were descendants of the Lewis family, even if they were born with a golden key, they still needed to put in hard work and sweat to reach their goal.
“Dad, you had a really hard time!”
This was the first time Timothy had heard all this, so he was visibly moved.
Roy Lewis pinched his cheek, “Honey, you guys might have to face tough times in the future as well.”
The brothers glanced at each other, and almost in unison exclaimed,
“We won’t! We have each other!”
