Richelle Dunn was always efficient in her movements. In less than ten minutes, she had cooked the noodles.
As soon as Roy Lewis took the first bite, he let out a satisfied breath.
After cooking the noodles, Richelle went back to the living room to do her own work. For Roy, who always believed in concentrating on one thing at a time, he surprisingly sent her a message while eating.
“This is so delicious!”
Richelle Dunn,
“Do you really not have a secret weapon?”
Richelle was even more speechless. “Mr. Lewis, the noodles are from your place, the beef and vegetables are also from your place, even the sauce was made by your chef. All I did was cook them and serve them.”
Richelle simply cooked a bowl of ordinary beef noodles, so she thought that
Roy was just trying to make small talk or deliberately flatter her.
However, she forgot that Roy Lewis had never deliberately flattered anyone.
If he was really exaggerating, it was not because he was trying to, but because
in his eyes, it was true.
Richelle didn’t know that at this time, Roy Lewis had already added a layer of love filter to the food she made, making it especially delicious.
Roy finished the noodles and even drank the soup to the last drop. After finishing, he picked up his phone and sent Richelle another message.
“Can I request that you make noodles once a week?”
Richelle didn’t know what Roy was up to today. Clearly, he could have just asked her in person, but he insisted on asking through WhatsApp.
And his request was not an unreasonable one.
“Sure, no problem.”
Roy felt quite pleased to have secured a small benefit for himself.
When he walked out of the dining room, he looked radiant and much more
refreshed.
Normally, he would go back to his study after breakfast to deal with some work, but today he sat down in the living room.
“Timmy was well-behaved at your place yesterday, wasn’t he?”
Timmy had stayed at Richelie’s place before, so Roy was just making small talk.
After talking to her teacher on the phone, Richelle was in a great mood and no longer treated Roy with the indifference she did the previous days.
Instead, she returned to her usual cheerful and easygoing state.
“He has always been well-behaved. Timothy and Tiffany are even more
naughty in comparison.”
The environment Timmy grew up in made him more mature and steady than
his siblings.
Even though the three children look alike, their thought processes were quite
different.
Although Timmy’s empathetic ability might be slightly weaker than Timothy and Tiffany’s, under Roy’s influence, he seemed to have a natural leader’s aura, and his siblings always listened to him from the start.
“That’s good, they complement each other with their different personalities.”
At first, Roy may have deliberately treated the three children equally.
But now, he saw them as an inseparable unit.
in his eyes, each child had a different personality, strengths, and weaknesses, but it didn’t affect their uniqueness and loveliness.
Richelle remained silent, just watching him quietly.
This man always had many surprises.
When she first met him, he was an extremely arrogant man.
But the longer they were together, she discovered that his arrogance was only towards strangers and outsiders.
Towards the people he cared about; he seemed to have endless patience and
tolerance.
Richelle was not a conservative person herself, but she knew that families like the Lewis and the Dunns, with deep roots, valued blood lineage greatly.
Yet Roy Lewis did not hold any grudges and accepted Timothy and Tiffany wholeheartedly, treating them as his own children even when he didn’t know they were his biological children.
Only a man with a strong and open-minded heart could achieve this.
“Mr. Lewis!”
As if in an instant, Richelle Dunn made a decision in her heart.
Roy Lewis raised his eyes, his unfathomable gaze fixed on her.
Richelle was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Originally, she planned to play dumb and give him the cold shoulder until things settled in the Dunn family, then make long-term plans.
Yet even when she was this unreasonable, he still chose to tolerate her without any limits.
His every word and action told her that no matter why she hesitated, he would patiently wait for her response.
The more he behaved this way, the more uneasy her conscience became.
Richelle, you’re such a jerk!
She cursed herself inwardly, biting her lip, and finally mustered up the
courage.
She raised her eyes, meeting his eager gaze, and struggled to speak.
“Although this request is a bit too much…”
Roy Lewis didn’t say anything, but his burning eyes silently conveyed his encouragement and expectation.
Richelle took a deep breath and said what she had been holding in her heart for
a long time with great boldness.
“But can I, please, ask you to wait for me?”
This statement may not be a promise, but at least it conveyed a message to Roy Lewis.
That is, she had received his intentions.
However, due to personal reasons, she couldn’t give him a definite answer for
now.
A look of surprise appeared in Roy Lewis’s deep black eyes, followed by a smile at the corners of his lips, and his eyes instantly filled with laughter.
At this moment, he felt that the gloomy sky that had been clouded for several days had finally cleared up!
His eyes were full of affectionate laughter as he stood up, walking toward Richelle.
Richelie’s heart was filled with trepidation, her face slightly lifted, staring at him as he approached her step by step.
Then, her entire being was enveloped in Roy Lewis’s shadow, and by the time she reacted, he had already leaned down, his hands on the sofa armrests, trapping her between his body and the sofa.
Richelie’s face turned red all of a sudden.
“You…”
Her throat was as dry as if it were about to catch fire, her body rigid, leaning back against the sofa as much as possible.
But Roy Lewis didn’t let her retreat at all, his left hand reaching back to firmly support her back, domineeringly and irresistibly keeping her in front of him. His eyes still held a smile, but with a flickering flame within it.
Richelle stared at him dumbfounded, feeling her entire body set ablaze by the little flames in his eyes, the scorching fire burning from her body straight to her heart, soon leaving her in utter disarray.
“Mr. Lewis, you…”
Richelie’s one hand nervously gripped the sofa, while the other, with the last bit of sanity left, pressed against his chest, trying to push him away.
To Richelle, the Roy Lewis now was like a raging fire that she had to escape from; otherwise, she would soon be swallowed up by the flames, burned into nothing more than ashes.
Roy Lewis saw her panic and struggle, the flames in his eyes flashing and dancing, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.
A huge voice in his heart was urging and agitating him to push forward despite everything.
However, reason was pulling him back, telling him to take it while it was good! In the end, he silently exhaled to calm himself, raised his right hand, and gently placed it on the hand that she pressed against his chest.
With his left hand supporting her back, he gently pulled her, who had lost all resistance, into his embrace.
He buried his face in the hollow of her neck, taking a deep breath, and the air was filled with her scent.
And this scent was the familiar yet elusive scent he had perceived when he first met her.
This familiar scent that made him yearn for and want to be submerged in, where exactly had he encountered it before?
