Chapter 292: Chapter 288: She, this face-lover, purely attracted by his beauty
Translator: 549690339
Richelle’s heart skipped a beat, she looked at him carefully, but she couldn’t discern any emotions from his expressionless face.
Unsure if Roy was really angry, Richelle wrapped her arm around his like she would do with Tifanny’s, leaned her body softly against him, and answered him with a smile.
“Master Lewis, it’s just an honorary consultant position, Denise mentioned it only to scare the father and son Jayden Dunn!”
Roy wasn’t really angry to begin with; he was just putting on a stern face to scare her.
Otherwise, his old heart wouldn’t be able to handle her secrets exploding one after another.
However, he could only keep a straight face for a few moments in Richelle’s presence.
After all, she was his newfound love whom he cherished deeply.
Moreover, now that Richelle was hanging on him like a boneless person, his thoughts were full of other inappropriate things, and he had no intention to fuss about her secret.
Not to mention that he had already equated her with Margareth in his heart, so he could roughly guess the role of her current position after listening to her evasive answer.
Any position like that comes with secrets that shouldn’t be shared, even between Roy and Richelle who were intimate.
Yet understanding didn’t mean he would turn a blind eye to the matter.
Though he couldn’t severely punish her, a small warning was still necessary.
So, he reached out to pinch her cheek and deliberately warned her in a heavier tone.
“Dr. Dunn, can you not hide anything from me in the future? I’m afraid it’ll lead to misunderstandings, and while you and the kids can handle it, I can’t!”
Although it sounded like a warning, it was more like a plea.
As he spoke with a menacing tone, he pulled his arm out from her embrace, wrapped it around her waist and easily lifted her onto his lap.
Thinking back to the chaotic situation when chasing her and their kids from the Federation to South Asia, he still felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, Richelle didn’t actually want to cut off ties with him. Otherwise, with her skills, she could easily take the kids and hide somewhere without him ever finding them.
At this thought, Roy buried his face in her hair, inhaling deeply, and was completely enchanted by her familiar scent.
It was a fragrance that softened his heart and revealed his vulnerable side that stemmed from love and care.
His hands gripped her waist tightly, thinking about her spending almost the entire day with Hugo Camrey, and couldn’t help but feel jealous.
“Richelle, if I could, I’d really like to keep you in my pocket, take you everywhere with me, not let anyone see how great you are, and never let you out of my sight.”
Richelle had heard him say such words before. Indeed, they were dangerous words, and if they came from anyone else, she would have knocked him unconscious and run for her life.
But when she heard these words from Roy, she could only feel heartache and helplessness.
Because she knew that he was just expressing the innermost thoughts of another part of him, just like how she would feel jealous and angry when Timmy mentioned him meeting Ms. Gregory or Ms. Bailes, she too wanted to lock him by her side, away from others’ gazes.
However, in reality, Roy had always been so tender and gentle towards her that he couldn’t bear to even touch a single finger of hers.
Richelle reached back and patted his head. “Roy, you don’t have to keep me in your pocket because, from now on, wherever you are, I’ll be there too.”
Richelle didn’t like being restrained, but Roy managed to make her willingly settle in his world with his powerful yet controlled affection.
Because she knew there wouldn’t be another person like Roy, who was strong enough to easily crush everything but still willing to use patience and tolerance to break down the armor she had built over the years.
Roy seemed to be moved by her words as his grip around her waist tightened, making her almost unable to breathe.
But Richelle didn’t have any thoughts of struggling.
Instead, she relaxed her body, leaning entirely into his embrace, feeling his strong heartbeat.
And his burning warmth.
“Roy, do you know what traps a person’s heart the easiest on this Earth?”
Initially, she was purely attracted by his stunning looks.
But at some unknown point in time, she began to fall deeper and deeper into Roy’s gentle demeanor, unable to pull herself out.
When she returned to South Asia with their kids, her master chastised her with an annoyed air.
“Look at you, how pathetic. If you have the guts, find a place he can’t locate and run away.”
At the time, she laughed and replied.
“I can’t. If he can’t find me, how can I find another him?”p>
Of course, Richelle would never tell Roy about these specific details.
Because she didn’t want him to become arrogant!
