Translator: 549690339
Although he didn’t know how to describe her personality and the way she dealt with things, because everything about her was unlike anything he had ever seen before, a completely new world of unknowns and unfamiliarity.
But this strangeness and unknowns didn’t repel him. On the contrary, they had an inexplicable attraction, drawing him in little by little, wanting to explore it further.
The danger alarm had been ringing in his head since the first day he met her.
Yet her attraction to him had far exceeded the warning effect of the danger alarm.
In other words, even though he knew the danger, he still moved forward.
This shows that what lies at the core is his instinctual desire.
Just as eating and sleeping are instinctual needs of the body.
Once again, Richelie Dunn was caught off guard by his straightforwardness, causing her cheeks to flush.
Throughout their conversation, Timothy, Tifanny and Timmy remained still, watching their parents share this rare emotional exchange. They all held their breath, careful not to disturb the moment.
So when they saw their mom’s face suddenly turn red, the kids were overjoyed, their big eyes blinking as they exchanged glances.
Timothy winked at Timmy and Tifanny, “Did you see that? Mom’s face is red!”
Timmy also nodded and smiled, “We saw it; maybe our mom is shy?”
Tifanny blinked her beautiful fangirl eyes, full of sparkles.
“Mommy is so pretty, and Daddy is so handsome! Mommy and Daddy make a perfect couple!”
After a series of winks and nods, the siblings decided to sneak off and give their parents some alone time to bond and grow their relationship.
So, Timothy cried out suddenly, clutching his small belly and hopping down from his seat, “Uncle, I can’t hold it in, I need to go to the bathroom…”
Without waiting for Roy Lewis’s response, he ran off.
Tifanny also reacted quickly, sliding down from the sofa and calling out while running into the kitchen.
“Mrs. Walker, I’m hungry, are there any snacks?”
Timmy hesitated for half a second before joining his sister, running after her with a smile.
“Mrs. Walker, I’m hungry too, I want Osmanthus cake!”
In just a few seconds, the three little ones disappeared from the living room.
Leaving a blushing Richelie Dunn and Roy Lewis, staring at each other.
“All… I’m kind of hungry as well…”
Richelie, not quite naturally, patted her stomach and stood up.
“Richelie Dunn!”
Roy Lewis suddenly grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
Richelle turned around in surprise, locking eyes with his deep and unfathomable gaze, her heart racing uncontrollably once again.
She felt like she was going to die!
This damned hormone!
This damned primal instinct!
As Richelle silently screamed inside, she tried her best to appear like a normal person on the surface!
Even though she was blushing beyond normalcy.
“What’s the matter?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Sit down. 1 have something to tell you, and you can consider it.”
Richelle tried to alleviate her embarrassment with laughter.
“Are you going to give Timmy to me as my son?”
If Roy Lewis really wanted to do that, she’d be willing to kowtow to him three times.
Of course, she knew that it was all just her imagination.
Roy Lewis automatically took her comment as a joke, as it was simply too absurd for him to take seriously.
“Timmy and Timothy and Tifanny are like siblings, and haven’t you always treated him like your son?”
By now, Roy Lewis had completely forgotten the accusations he had initially made towards Richelle.
Even his so-called “three-point agreement” had been long forgotten.
Richelle laughed and tried to cover her guilt, “Haha, it’s all the same whether I teach two or three kids.”
In order not to raise Roy Lewis’s suspicion, she deliberately made a gesture of counting money, “Plus, more money to take! Isn’t it great?”
Eearing that Roy Lewis would continue to dwell on this dangerous topic, she quickly asked, “What is it? Tell me.”
Roy Lewis genuinely didn’t take her words seriously, so he was oblivious to her subtle changes in mood. He took out a magazine from his bag, on the cover of which was an advert for the new luxury watch from Lewis Group.
“Remember the watch 1 mentioned this morning?”
Richelle nodded, of course she remembered, she wasn’t a fool, could she forget what happened in the morning by evening?
“Nathan has never been satisfied with the hand of this model, but he can’t find a better one. Your wrist is very pretty, do you want to give it a try?”
Roy Lewis said, his gaze naturally falling on her wrist.
When he saw the pink braided rope on her left wrist, his eyes brightened a bit.
“The braided rope looks good, did you buy it?”
Actually, it’s just a simple braided rope, but on Richelle’s wrist, it highlights the beautiful lines of her wrist and enhances its beauty.
Richelle raised her hand, “This? It was braided by the three kids during their handicraft class today.”
Roy Lewis looked at the braided rope, “It’s quite well made, and looks like it was done by the same person.”
Richelle felt quite proud in her heart because this rope was jointly woven by her three beloved children, and its meaning and significance were very precious.
Compared to her, Roy Lewis, as their father, seemed a bit pitiful, didn’t he?
“It is pretty good!”
Richelle suddenly realized and felt a bit sympathetic towards Roy Lewis.
So, she put her wrist behind her back, shaking her head to reject his proposal.
“Forget it, I’m an amateur, I shouldn’t try to compete with professionals.”
“Even if it’s just a half-body and hand appearance for this endorsement, the shooting time only requires one day, and the endorsement fee is US$273,362, would you still refuse?”
Roy Lewis had actually anticipated her refusal, so he doubled the original endorsers’ price using his personal pocket money.
With the price of US$273,362, the advertising department would definitely not approve it, so he would have to personally dig into his pocket to make up the difference in the end.
Sure enough, when Richelle heard the price, she clearly hesitated – she was really, really tight on money recently!
“Really, it doesn’t require showing my face?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Of course, our focus is on the hand and the watch, not the face, you see, there’s no face in this one either?”
Richelle looked at the cover again, indeed, there were only close-ups of the model’s hand and watch, and half-body shots.
Richelle was even more tempted, after all, that was US$273,362!
“Can I use a pseudonym then? And 1 can wear a mask, right?”
In the hospital, apart from the dean and the elite doctors on the same floor and a few medical staff, no one else knows her real identity.
Especially after the incident with the Thompsons, Richelle became even more cautious.
This watch is a brand under Lewis Group, so while shooting the advertisement, she would be in contact with not only the Lewis Group people, but also potentially the Lewis family members. And their complex web of relationships was what she dreaded.
Shooting an advertisement may be a small matter to others, but for her, who needs to maintain a low profile, it is undoubtedly too ostentatious.
Roy Lewis hadn’t thought that much, but now that she made these requests, he immediately understood her concerns.
“Sure! I’ll talk to Nathan first and have him follow up throughout. If everything is fine on your end, we can sign a contract in a couple of days.”
Since Roy Lewis compromised, and since Richelle was really short on money, she agreed after thinking for a while.
“Alright, I’ll take it!”
Roy Lewis saw her nodding, he felt happy too, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he reached out his hand.
“Pleasure working together.”
Richelle had no choice but to reach out her hand, lightly grip it, and quickly separate, “Pleasure working together.”
As for Richelle’s perfunctory attitude, Roy Lewis did not notice because something suddenly occurred to him.
“Richelle, actually…”, he stopped halfway, hesitating.
Richelle looked at him, feeling a bit puzzled – this man could be hesitant too?
“Actually, what?”
Roy Lewis realized his stuttering must seem very nagging.
“Timothy and Tifanny, did they really wear masks just for fun?”
Before now, he had always accepted Richelle’s given reason for it.
But when Richelle mentioned wearing a mask for the advertisement, the masked Timothy and Tifanny suddenly flashed through his mind.
Richelle’s heart trembled, her inner panic was immense, but fortunately, she had rehearsed countless times in her mind being suspected of the truth by him. So, she maintained her composure, and her panic quickly subsided.
She strived to maintain a calm expression because if this man knew the truth, he might kill her!
“What does Mr. Lewis think it is?”
The moment Roy Lewis stepped through their door the second time, Richelle had already thought of a reason to explain, and even informed the three children and Mrs. Walker beforehand.
That is to say, only Roy Lewis was kept in the dark among the five people in the room.
Roy Lewis looked at her and cautiously said,
“Do they wear masks because they want to hide some kind of secret?”
