Chapter 195: Chapter 191: Using the child to trap Mo Nian, don’t you feel disgusting?
Translator: 549690339
Richelie Dunn and Roy Lewis quickly entered a comfortable state when they were together, thanks to their children serving as lubrication and harmonizing agents.
Both Richelle and Roy, and even the children, have been in a more pleasant mood lately due to the two getting along well.
However, just a few days into this peaceful and comfortable life, some ripples began to appear.
One day, after giving Roy acupuncture treatment, Richelle, as usual, returned to the hospital to treat Mrs. Camrey.
Since the hospital was relatively quiet, Richelle completed treating Mrs.
Camrey with acupuncture and saw that there was no other business, then decided to go home.
As a result, the moment she came out of Mrs. Camrey’s VIP ward, she bumped into Mr. Lewis.
Richelle had seen Mr. Lewis a few times before, and she greeted the old man with a smile when she met him this time.
“Mr. Lewis, are you here for a regular checkup?
Last time, the old man had a gentle and kind expression, but this time he had a straight face.
“Dr. Dunn, I came to see you.”
Richelle didn’t react for a moment, “Looking for me? I’m not your attending
physician.”
Richelle had never been in a relationship, and in her current concept, her relationship with Roy was only established through verbal agreement, and she considered herself just a doctor and a patient, or at most a friend, with him.
Therefore, between friends, there shouldn’t be any troublesome matters like meeting parents or parent involvement.
However, her natural reaction seemed like a deliberate act of playing dumb in
the eyes of Mr. Lewis.
Humph, quite a good actress, no wonder she could deceive Roy and Timmy.
The old man secretly condemned Richelle in his heart and then looked at the person next to him.
Upon receiving the hint from Mr. Lewis, the butler standing beside him made a gesture to Richelle.
“Dr. Dunn, please follow me.”
Although Richelle didn’t know the purpose of Mr. Lewis’s visit, she thought that he was always an elder, not to mention the direct relative of Roy and Timmy, so she followed him into the VIP ward next to Mrs. Camrey’s with complete cooperation.
She sat down only after the old man took his seat.
As a junior, she hesitated whether to take the initiative to ask questions, but
Mr. Lewis already took the lead.
“Dr. Dunn, you and Roy are not suitable for each other.
Richelle may be inexperienced but she wasn’t stupid, and when she heard that, she immediately understood that Mr. Lewis had come to break them up.
Though to be fair, at the moment, she and Roy were far from being a pair of lovebirds let alone wild ducks.
“Mr. Lewis, did you misunderstand something?”
Richelle didn’t pretend to be confused; she genuinely believed that Mr. Lewis had been influenced by idle chatter from people like James Lewis.
After all, apart from Roy, the rest of the Lewis family didn’t seem like good people.
“Did I misunderstand? Dr. Dunn, Roy and Timmy are having dinner at your house every day now, right?”
Richelle answered openly, “Yes, Mr. Lewis has paid Mrs. Walker a salary and food expenses. The two of them are, essentially, having dinner together at our house.”
It was not clear what the cunning people had told the old man, “Timmy is studying at my house, so he usually comes around noon. Mr. Lewis arrives in the evening, and after dinner, he takes Timmy away.”
Seeing Richelie’s calm demeanor without a trace of shame or discomfort, Mr. Lewis became more convinced that she was scheming and his dislike for her grew stronger.
“Dr. Dunn, Timmy is still a child. It must be pretty easy to manipulate him, right?”
Richelle Dunn never thought her son was easy to manipulate, even as his mother, it took considerable effort to coax him into submission.
“Timmy is a very smart child, sir. You should know that better than I do.” The implication was that unless Timmy was willing, she didn’t have the ability to manipulate him like that.
Mr. Lewis became increasingly dissatisfied with Richelie’s utter lack of concession or apology.
“Dr. Dunn, just say what you want. You have two children yourself, using children to tie down a man – don’t you find that disgusting?
Richelle didn’t want any conflict with the old man, after all, he was Timmy’s great-grandfather, and from what she could tell, he genuinely cared for Timmy in the past few years.
But when the old man put it like that, she couldn’t just keep backing down and explaining.
Obviously, her explanation was just sophistry in the old man’s eyes.
“Sir, Mr. Lewis and I are just friends. If you don’t believe me, you can call your grandson over right now and confirm it on the spot.
Richelie’s tone became much colder, because she knew that no matter what she said, the old man would twist it into what he thought it was.
So, in this case, it was really necessary for Roy Lewis to step forward and clarify the situation.
But Mr. Lewis wasn’t on the same wavelength as her at all, and he snorted coldly.
“You’re quite cunning, aren’t you? Call Roy over, to cause a rift in our relationship and make him think I’m bullying you, right?
Richelle found she really couldn’t reason with the old man.
“Mr. Lewis, I apologize, my relationship with Roy is really not what you think it is. As for what you mentioned about tying a man down and using children, I have never done anything like that, and my conscience is clear.”
Richelle didn’t consider herself to have a good temper, and any further conversation could jeopardize her ability to remain calm. So, she got up and bowed slightly to the old man.
“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll excuse myself first.
Having said that, Richelle didn’t look at the old man’s face and walked straight out of the room.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Hugo Camrey supporting Mrs. Camrey as they walked over.
Inside the ward, Mr. Lewis must have been angered by Richelle’s brazen attitude, as he sat on the couch, pointing at her and cursing.
“What do you think you are, a divorced woman with two kids weighing you down? You think you have a chance with my Roy?”
Richelle had intended to avoid conflict with him due to his age, which is why she left before losing her temper.
But the old man’s words made her laugh outright.
She didn’t even bother to notice the approaching Hugo and his mother outside the door, and turned back, smiling sarcastically at the old man.
“Sir, I do have two children, but isn’t Roy an old man with a child himself? He has what I have, and even what he doesn’t have, I have too! He’s just luckier than me, with a better background and a bit more money. How am I not worthy of him?”
Mr. Lewis’s face turned green with anger as he pointed at Richelle and scolded her.
“You think you’re worthy of him? Just because you have a pretty face, you think you deserve him? Let me tell you, there are countless unmarried and childless girls younger and prettier than you! Roy could choose any of them, and they’d all be better than you!”
Richelle never thought that the man who raised someone as open-minded and tolerant as Roy would turn out to be old-fashioned, conservative, and full of prejudice and malice towards women.
just as she was about to say something else, her shoulder was patted, and Mrs. Camrey appeared beside her, gripping her hand and speaking to Mr. Lewis.
“Mr. Lewis, if you look down on Dr. Dunn so much, then let her be my daughter-in-law!”
“My son is unmarried and childless, a PhD graduate from a top international university. He may have less money than your grandson, but he’s blessed with open-minded parents who accept Dr.. Dunn! In our family, she would be pampered like a princess!”
