The three little ones moved their stools over and sat around the footbath.
Timmy and Timothy sat on the left and right, putting their hands in the medicinal bath to massage Richelle’s feet.
Tifanny sat in the middle, taking Richelle’s hand and massaging her finger joints.
“Where’s your dad?”
Richelle was a little puzzled, as she usually saw one big and three small figures appearing in front of her when she came home.
Today there were only the three little ones, and she felt a bit unaccustomed.
The three little ones pointed in unison to the study, “In the study.”
Richelle did not inquire further.
Presumably, Mr. Lewis had some important work to do.
And at this moment, Roy Lewis was indeed having a video conference with Kennedy Green.
This conference, a top-secret international meeting, also included the leader of Leutonia and his two subordinates besides Roy and Kennedy.
The main topic of the video conference was to discuss specific ways to uncover the entire production and supply chain of the Thompsons and the Lilliputs in Leutonia.
“Mr. Lewis, if you could come in person, we could probably get some clues quickly.”
It wasn’t clear whether the Thompsons and the Lilliputs were just too clever or the detectives and officials in Leutonia were mediocre.
Since Margareth provided the information that exposed this supply chain, there had been some time, but progress on Leutonia’s side was very slow.
Roy Lewis and Kennedy Green could only worry.
“Sorry, I can’t expose myself. That’s the major premise of the whole new crackdown plan.”
Roy had been lurking for so long to lure the prey out of its hole, and it was out of the question for him to go to Leutonia at this time.
“Can you maintain close contact with us? We will keep you informed of any developments here and ask for your advice at any time.”
Roy’s identity was transparent among the leaders of surrounding allied countries, but it was limited to the leaders.
Therefore, it was impossible for Roy to give them his direct contact information.
“You can maintain contact with President Green, and he will relay any problems to me. I will try my best to respond to you as soon as possible.”
With no other choice, the leader of Leutonia could only accept this indirect way of communication.
This video conference, proposed by Roy, was not only to understand the progress and situation in Leutonia but also to give an important task to them.
“Additionally, the Thompsons and the Lilliputs are now surveying a new transport route that extends from within our borders to the outside. With their efficiency, they could have the new route operational within a month at the earliest, meaning that Leutonia’s backup chain may become temporarily unusable or reduce its operation within one month. One can’t eliminate this backup industrial chain for one day, and it’s a great disaster for one day.”
“Mr. Lewis, do you mean that we only have one month left?”
Roy nodded, “That’s their fastest speed, and the slowest shouldn’t be more than a month and a half. So, time is really pressing.”
After discussing the matter, Roy suggested that he should get offline.
He was still thinking about Richelle and her children.
Roy got offline and drove his wheelchair out of the living room.
He saw Richelle closing her eyes and leaning against the sofa, seemingly asleep, with a thin blanket covering her body.
Just as he was about to go over and check on her, Uncle Axel appeared, whispering to him.
“Dr. Dunn is sleeping, and the three children are playing in the backyard.”
Roy nodded, “Then we’ll have dinner later, let her rest for a while.”
Roy drove his wheelchair up to Richelle, staring at her sleeping face, feeling a complex surge of emotions.
It had been nearly a year since he first met Richelle.
Throughout the year, both his life and worldview had changed dramatically.
A year ago, he would never have imagined becoming a man who longed for domestic life and yearned for the love of his wife and children.
A year ago, she had forcefully entered his life, dressed in red.
He had resented her, detested her, and resisted her, but now he appreciated her, liked her, accepted her, and possessed her.
With her completely different lifestyle, she lived a life that he admired and even aspired to.
Many times, he felt sorry for her as she worked tirelessly day and night.
However, most of the time, he envied her.
He envied that she could give all her effort and fight for what she truly loved, regardless of everything.
She was like a flame, burning her love and energy to the extreme.
Living such a life, it seemed, would be fulfilling and without regret.
Recently, he had started pondering what he wanted to do, discarding his identities as the President of Lewis Group, the head of the Lewis family, and the Mr. Lewis of the Federation.
Ever since this question arose, the answer has remained vague.
He knew that deep down, there must be an answer.
But it was ignored, pressed too deep and too long in his heart, and eventually forgotten.
As Roy was deep in thought, Richelle on the sofa stirred and opened her eyes.
Roy cut off his thoughts, drove forward a little, took her hand, and kissed it gently.
“Awake?”
Richelle touched his face with her other hand, straightened up, and stretched her neck.
“I am now, if I didn’t wake up, my neck would’ve broken.”
Roy laughed, “If I had known, I would’ve asked you to go back to the bedroom to sleep.”
Richelle rubbed her neck with her hand, “That’s not necessary. I need to eat something and take a shower to sleep soundly.”
Roy nodded, “Then you go wash up, I’ll call the kids for dinner..”
