“I’m sorry, I was biased against you.”
Before meeting Richelle Dunn, Roy Lewis has never experienced the feeling of falling in love.
So, he couldn’t distinguish the danger signal triggered by instinct when he first met her. In fact, it also served as a warning signal.
It was reminding him that this woman was different from all the others he had met before.
Richelle Dunn pouted, “Indeed, only I could tolerate you looking like you did on the first day!”
What Richelle Dunn meant was ambiguous, if it weren’t for Timmy, she would have been too lazy to care about him at the beginning.
Looking back, Roy Lewis also felt that he was quite outrageous back then. He reached out to touch her head and apologized sincerely again.
“I’m sorry for making you feel wronged!”
Richelle Dunn let out a snort, “Indeed…,” she lifted her head to meet Roy Lewis’s sincere face. Suddenly, she couldn’t find the words to vent her complaints, “Never mind, I was also at fault…”
Despite being slightly drunk, Richelle Dunn was sober enough to realize that hiding the truth and the subsequent need to explain everything to Roy Lewis made her head throb vigorously.
“Roy Lewis…”
Richelle Dunn held her head, looking at Roy Lewis in distress.
“Hmm?”
“In the future, if something happens that you find hard to accept, you must believe me!”
Richelle Dunn took advantage of her slight inebriation to give Roy Lewis a heads up.
Roy Lewis thought she was just babbling from drinking too much, so he nodded and tried to soothe her.
“Of course, no matter what happens, I will always trust you.”
He touched her face, which was turning hot due to the effects of alcohol, and gestured for a servant to bring a cup of warm water over.
“Here, drink some water, it will make you feel better.”
Richelle Dunn was indeed thirsty. Seeing him hand her the water, she took big gulps from it, guided by his hand.
“Richelle, you’ve had a bit too much to drink, why don’t you stay here for tonight?”
Upon hearing Roy Lewis’s suggestion, Richelle Dunn became almost entirely sober from the shock.
“No, thanks. Timmy, Tifanny and I are more accustomed to sleeping at home.”
Roy Lewis looked at her, somewhat disappointed.
“It’s only for one night. Tomorrow, after you give me my acupuncture treatment, you can take Timmy and Tifanny home with you. Wouldn’t that save us a lot of time?”
He was somewhat puzzled as to why she reacted so strongly to the idea of staying overnight.
He had thought that, after their recent heart-to-heart conversation, they had grown to understand each other better.
Their emotions for each other followed suit too.
However, Richelle Dunn was very insistent, “There will be more opportunities in the future, we won’t disturb you tonight.”
At Richelle Dunn’s insistence, the mother and her two children left the Lewis residence around nine o’clock, after having eaten, drank, and played their fill.
And Roy Lewis, he went from being initially perplexed to eventually respecting and accepting her decision.
Richelle Dunn had had a few drinks and couldn’t drive, so Roy Lewis had Parker drive a spacious business vehicle to send the mother and her two children back home.
Upon returning home, Richelle Dunn took a hot shower and was almost entirely sobered up.
Reflecting upon the things she had said while being slightly drunk, she felt both annoyed and relieved. Tonight, she had said many shameful things, but she hadn’t revealed anything that she shouldn’t have.
Richelle Dunn spent quite a while reflecting in the bathroom. When she came out, she realized she had several missed calls on her phone.
She quickly redialed, “Uncle Troy, I’m sorry, I was taking a shower.”
Master Troy was a straightforward person, “Richelle, can you come over tomorrow night?”
How could Richelle Dunn possibly not have time? Anything related to the Dunns was now of utmost importance to her.
“I have time, Uncle, what are you planning to do?”
Master Troy outlined his plans for the next evening, to which Richelle Dunn felt was feasible.
“Okay, let’s proceed according to your plan, Uncle.”
The next day, Richelle Dunn informed Roy Lewis that she had another assignment while she was giving him his first injection.
Roy Lewis was supposed to lie still in bed, but his mind was running wild with doubts.
“Is there really an assignment?”
Or was she just avoiding him because of the things they had talked about the previous night?
“Mr. Lewis, do you think I’m so dishonest?”
Richelle couldn’t provide any evidence for such a matter.
Moreover, she didn’t really have an assignment.
When questioned this way by Richelle, Roy Lewis couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
“Sorry, I was just asking.”
When had he become a suspicious old woman?
Richelle Dunn just smiled and didn’t say anything more.
She was in the wrong on this matter, so she didn’t have the nerve to speak out.
“I drank a bit too much last night and spoke too much. If I said anything that made you uncomfortable, Mr. Lewis, please forgive me.”
Bringing up the events of the previous night was actually quite awkward, but it was better than depressing on her assignment issue.
Roy Lewis didn’t expect her to bring up the previous night; he thought she would retreat into her shell again the next day.
“No, you were quite adorable last night. In the future, feel free to express any issues you have with me, don’t keep them bottled up. If something happened to you, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to my three little ancestors.”
Roy Lewis was only five years older than Richelle Dunn, but he always felt that they were like people from different planets.
Their thinking and way of handling things were incredibly different.
Richelle responded with a nod, a hint of shyness and sweetness welling up in her heart.
Later, Hugo Camrey drove Richelle to Lordon.
At about nine in the evening, Master Troy and Hugo Camrey, according to the original plan, took Kiara Dunn and Theo Dunn to a coffee shop.
Richelle Dunn, dressed as a waitress, warmly greeted them.
Of course, after a professional makeup artist friend of Hugo Camrey’s transformed her, she appeared quite different than her original self, with only a slight resemblance in appearance and demeanor.
“Welcome, gentlemen. How many of you?”
Hugo Camrey, walking at the front, pretended not to know her and nodded, “Four, thank you!”
Richelle Dunn took them to their seats and soon served them four glasses of lemon water.
The four of them whispered amongst themselves, seeming not to notice her.
Thus, Richelle began openly appraising Kiara Dunn.
This Kiara Dunn, compared to the proud princess Richelle had met at Hugo Camrey’s house last time, seemed to be significantly thinner and more pallid.
Her movements were noticeably slower than average, and her expression was somewhat dull. She spoke softly, slowly, like a patient recovering from a long illness.
Richelle knew that after a couple of days under Master Troy’s hypnotic and psychological therapy, Kiara Dunn was in much better condition than before.
Today, Master Troy suggested taking her to Hugo Camrey’s house for a visit to a familiar place. Theo Dunn, as her worried older brother, came with them.
“Miss, would you like a glass of warm water?”
As Richelle handed Kiara her lemon water, she “thoughtfully” reminded her.
Kiara Dunn slowly lifted her head to glance at her.
However, her originally dull eyes suddenly overflowed with fear.
“AH, Ghost!”
Her scream startled Theo Dunn, who quickly covered her mouth and looked up at Richelle Dunn.
As their gazes met, Richelle appeared calm, while Theo looked shocked.
“Richelle Dunn?”
