Chapter 187: Chapter 183 Roy, Dr. Dunn Rejected You?
Translator: 549690339
Throughout the night, Richelle Dunn seemed to be deliberately doing the opposite of what Roy Lewis said. If he said east, she insisted on saying west.
Roy was quite troubled by her behavior, yet he couldn’t get angry at her.
Thus, Roy, who had never sought someone to chat with to relieve his stress, returned home that night, and after little Timmy went to sleep, he hurriedly summoned Nathan Caroule over.
Nathan was at a bar drinking with friends when he received the call asking him to come immediately to his boss’s house. Thinking that something serious had happened, he left his friends and rushed over.
However, when he arrived, he found his boss leisurely sipping tea in the tea room.
“Master, did you call me here in the middle of the night just to have tea with you?”
Nathan had been with Roy Lewis for many years, and he knew well how demanding and principled Roy was. He also knew that Roy rarely took up his employees’ personal time for private matters at such late hours.
Something was off with Master Lewis!
“Sit!”
Roy signaled to Nathan, and after he sat down, Roy immediately handed him a cup of tea.
Nathan carefully took the tea, said thank you, and then began to carefully observe Roy’s face.
But his boss looked as calm and composed as usual, showing no sign of anything unusual.
“Master, aren’t you afraid that drinking tea so late will affect your sleep?”
Roy seemed not to have heard Nathan’s words, but instead looked up at him.
“Tell me, how did you break up with your last girlfriend?”
Nathan was shocked, “Master Lewis, Mrs. Green already asked about that. Can you please stop asking?”
Nathan was a pitiful child, abandoned by a sewer not long after his birth.
However, he was also fortunate. Shortly after being sent to an orphanage, he was sponsored by Kennedy Green and his wife. Since then, everything he ate, used, wore, and spent was taken care of by them. Materially speaking, he lived like a young master.
In terms of emotional support, Kennedy was relatively busy and had less contact with Nathan. However, Mrs. Green would visit him at least once a week. Now, they still had a meal together at least once a month.
This was much more frequent than Nathan’s meetings with his uncle Roy.
However, Roy ignored Nathan’s protest and continued questioning him.
“Was it because the girl found you too busy and not caring enough about her? Or did you break her heart by being fickle?”
Nathan secretly groaned, “Master Lewis, Roy, can we please stop bringing this up?”
Nathan’s last relationship was the most emotionally invested of his few relationships. In the end, she turned out to have several spare tires other than him, a true playgirl.
Nathan was too embarrassed to talk about such a matter and dodged Mrs. Green’s questioning by citing incompatible personalities as the reason.
Seeing that Nathan really didn’t want to talk about it, Roy stopped asking and drank some tea instead.
“Have you ever experienced a situation where you clearly felt the other person also liked you, but as soon as you confessed your feelings, they retreated and evaded?”
Nathan understood upon hearing this.
“Roy, did Dr. Dunn reject you?”
Nathan silently awarded Richelle with a “bravery” medal.
In his opinion, the two of them were clearly a passionate couple. Rejections were probably just little flirtations between the two of them.
Roy neither confirmed nor denied it.
“Tell me, in this situation, what would you do?”
Roy admitted that he was well-versed in the business world, but in the realm of love, he had no experience at all.
Originally, in his relationship with Richelle, he had always been confident and skillful.
However, Richelle’s repeated evasive reactions made him doubt whether he was just being oversensitive.
Even though he had doubts, he had no experience to compare and no reference point. So he could only bring Nathan over, hoping to gain some inspiration from Nathan’s love history.
This was the first time Nathan had seen his boss so troubled and unfamiliarly entangled in love matters. Silently, he gave Richelle a thumbs-up in his heart— Dr. Dunn, you’re amazing!
“Roy, I’m afraid my experiences can’t provide you any reference or inspiration. Because a person as amazing and capable as Dr. Dunn must have different thoughts and concerns than ordinary people, right?”
Roy frowned, “What is she concerned about? If it’s about the children, I’ve hinted several times that I’ve already treated Timothy and Tiffany as my own children. If it’s about Timmy, he already treats her as his mother. What else could she be worried about?”
Nathan felt that his boss was really too arrogant and self-centered, “Roy, that’s just what you think. Dr. Dunn may not truly believe it.”
Roy glared at him, “No, she does believe it.”
Roy had an almost primitive intuition toward Richelle, like that of a wild animal.
He couldn’t explain the reason for this intuition, but it was quite accurate.
Nathan felt that he couldn’t continue the conversation with Roy, “Master, have you ever considered that she might not actually like you?”
There was a slim chance of that being true.
Because even Nathan, as an outsider, felt that everything Richelle did for Roy far exceeded what a doctor should do for a patient.
Roy was very confident about this, “Impossible!”
If she had no feelings for him, her reaction would not be like this.
Based on her personality, if she didn’t like him, she would outright reject him, rather than dodge and evade as she did now.
“Could it be that she doesn’t believe you truly like her?”
Roy denied again, “Impossible!”
Although he had never explicitly confessed his feelings, his intentions had been conveyed more than once.
Nathan considered all possibilities but couldn’t find the root of the problem. He was at a loss and could only spread his hands helplessly.
“The only reason could be that Dr. Dunn has an unavoidable dilemma and cannot accept you.”
This time, Roy was silent for a long time.
Obviously, that was the crux of the matter.
“Master, shall I have someone look into it…?”
Roy knew what Nathan was trying to say and interrupted him coldly.
“No need, don’t interfere in this matter.”
If he truly investigated her background.
All the trust and equality between him and Richelle would be obliterated.
Nathan had no other solutions and was anxious.
“Master, you actually understand that in your heart, don’t you?”
Roy was certain that if Richelle had concerns and unresolved issues, they were likely related to her ex-husband.
However, her ex-husband had never appeared, and even Timothy and Tiffany never mentioned their father.
“I do understand, but I can’t investigate!”
This was based on respect for and trust in the other person.
Nathan knew that Roy was an incredibly skillful hunter after having been at his side for so many years.
“So… are you planning to wait like this?”
Roy had already known the answer in his heart and invited Nathan over not to find an answer, but to vent the frustration he couldn’t resolve in his heart.
“Yes, I’ll wait.. Eventually, she will want to tell me someday!”
