Chapter 118: Chapter 114: Mommy said she loves Daddy the most!
Translator: 549690339
The two brothers heard their mommy’s answer and laughed.
Indeed, it was exactly what they thought.
No sooner had the two brothers retreated to their bedroom than the little girl ran back excitedly.
As soon as the door closed, she happily ran over.
“Brothers, mommy said her favorite person is daddy!”
The three children high-fived in celebration, and then, three little heads squeezed together, whispering and discussing how to create opportunities for their daddy and mommy.
At two o’clock, Roy Lewis had just finished a video conference with some senior executives in the study with Nathan Caroule when he received a phone call from his son.
“Daddy, you need to buy a bouquet of flowers later!”
Roy Lewis was confused, “Buy flowers? Why?”
On the other side of the phone, Timmy rolled his eyes. As expected, he’s a blockhead who still doesn’t get it!
“Dr. Dunn has put so much effort into teaching me and even gives me private acupuncture lessons at home. Shouldn’t you buy a bouquet of flowers to thank the teacher?”
Roy Lewis pondered for a moment. His son had a point, but something seemed off.
However, it was just a bouquet of flowers. Even if it was just to appease his son, it was harmless.
“Alright, I’ll bring it over when I pick you up later.”
Previously, Roy Lewis would only stop by Richelie Dunn’s house to pick up his son and stay for dinner when he was out and about.
But now, he doesn’t even consider his own whereabouts, as picking up his son feels like a standard procedure.
“Also, get that molten cheese cake from the place on Briyand Road. My siblings and 1 want to eat it.”
Roy Lewis checked the time. It was only two o’clock. If he bought the cake in the afternoon, wouldn’t the children had to wait for hours?
“Then I’ll head out now and buy it for your afternoon tea.”
Timmy felt that his daddy was finally on the right track.
After hanging up the phone, Roy Lewis told Nathan Caroule, put on his coat, and walked out the door.
On the way, he went to a flower shop first.
A shop assistant asked him, “Sir, what kind of flowers would you like to buy?”
Roy Lewis thought of the sunflowers his son had given him, which were quite beautiful.
“Give me a bouquet of sunflowers.”
The shop assistant apologized with a smile, “I’m sorry, sir, but we just sold out of the sunflowers. How about roses? Today’s roses are especially beautiful!”
She then led him to a large bucket of pink roses. “Sir, do you like these?”
Roy Lewis had no knowledge of flowers, but looking at the large bouquet of tender and delicate pink roses, he thought they suited Richelie Dunn’s temperament quite well.
“Yes, I’ll take these!”
As the shop assistant selected the flowers, she asked him, “Sir, may 1 ask who the recipient is?”
“A young lady!”
The shop assistant suddenly understood and picked eleven pink roses, wrapped them beautifully and handed them to him.
Roy Lewis paid the bill, bought the molten cheese cake, and rang the doorbell at Richelle Dunn’s house at a little past three.
Usually, if Timmy knew it was Roy Lewis, he would be the first to run and open the door.
But today, Timmy hesitated and didn’t want to get up from his seat.
Richelle Dunn had no choice but to put down the book she was reading and open the door.
When she opened the wooden door and saw Roy Lewis standing outside, Richelle Dunn looked surprised.
“Mr. Lewis, why are you here so early?”
Usually, he only arrived around dinner time in the evening, right?
Roy Lewis first handed her the beautiful bouquet of pink roses, “These are for you, to thank you for your dedicated teaching and care for Timmy during this time.”
Richelle Dunn was genuinely surprised. She glanced down at the alluring roses in her arms and then raised her eyes cautiously to examine Roy Lewis again.
Master Lewis, do you know that pink roses are used for confessions?
Roy Lewis met her beautiful eyes without dodging, and offered the cake in his hand.
“I bought a molten cheese cake as an afternoon tea dessert?”
Richelle raised an eyebrow, Master Lewis, do you really not know or is it just a coincidence? My favorite cake is the molten cheese cake from this store on Briyand Road!
Roy Lewis saw Richelle not speaking, just staring at him with her eyes fixed, and he couldn’t help but wonder.
“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?”
Of course, Richelle couldn’t say that this was her favorite cake; otherwise, if Master Lewis really came over just to give it to the kids, she would be so embarrassed.
“It’s okay, just afraid it might make me fat.”
Roy Lewis looked her up and down, with her slender frame hardly carrying any excess weight, how could a little cake make her fat?
“No, this one uses healthy ingredients, and its calorie content is even lower than ordinary cakes.”
Fortunately, Roy Lewis had a good memory and used the promotional words boasted by the shop assistant while packing the cake to convince Richelle.
Richelle didn’t say anything more, holding the bouquet in one hand and the cake in the other as she walked into the inner room.
Roy Lewis bent down to pick up the pair of slippers that had become his own from the shoe cabinet and walked into the living room.
The three children greeted him sweetly as they saw him.
After that, each of them picked up a small plate and waited for Richelle to divide the cake for them.
When the three children each got a big piece of cake, Timmy, who was taking the role of an elder brother, asked Richelle.
“My brother, sister, and 1 want to eat on the bedroom balcony!”
Instead of refusing immediately, Richelle asked, “Why?”
“The big tree outside has blossomed, and it’s so beautiful!”
It was rare for her eldest son to have such a romantic thought, so Richelle granted their request with a wave of her hand.
As the three children ran into the bedroom, leaving Richelle and Roy Lewis alone in the living room, she started to regret her decision.
But if she went to get the three kids back now, it would seem too deliberate.
And Mrs. Walker had just gone out shopping for groceries, so she wouldn’t be back for a while.
While Richelle was thinking about how to dissolve the awkwardness of being alone with Roy, he spoke first.
“Can I eat this?”
Due to his illness, Roy Lewis had some dietary restrictions in his daily life.
Moreover, he never really liked sweets, so he didn’t pay attention to which sweet foods he should avoid.
Richelle cut him a small piece, “Yes, you can eat it, as long as it doesn’t contain any stimulating ingredients, you can basically eat it!”
Richelle cut herself a piece as well and went to the kitchen to make a large pot of greasy-cutting passion fruit tea, pouring a cup for Roy Lewis.
Then, she racked her brain to think of something else to do.
However, Roy Lewis seemed to see through her thoughts, “Aren’t you sitting down to eat?”
With no choice, Richelle dragged a small stool and chose a spot as far away from him as possible to sit down.
She slowly ate the cake with a spoon, her eyes occasionally glancing at him.
Did this man take the wrong medicine today?
In the morning, he inexplicably showed her a cold face.
Now, he came over with flowers and a cake. Was he trying to make amends?
Or, was it all just a coincidence?
By coincidence, he really wanted to give her a bouquet of flowers because of Timmy!
By coincidence, he unknowingly chose a pink rose that symbolized confession!
By coincidence, the afternoon tea he bought for the kids happened to be her favorite!
Could all these coincidences be just that, coincidences?
