Translator: 549690339

Richelle Dunn was so startled by Roy Lewis’s “good girl” that she dropped her phone on the couch, her face flushing hot as if it could spray smoke. In her panic, she grabbed her phone, not even saying goodbye before she hung up.

On the other end of the call, Roy saw the screen go black after a dull thud followed by rustling noises before the call was disconnected. The amusement in his eyes deepened.

Sitting on the sofa, Nathan Caroule, who had been force-fed several tons of dog food, saw his boss finally put down the phone. De looked at the goosebumps on his hand and rolled his eyes in disgust.

“Master Lewis, is this considered an old tree blossoming? Why don’t you just go ahead and marry her and bring her home?”

It’s just eating ice cream! They even had to video chat for it. Dr. Dunn isn’t a child!

Roy glances at him, “Don’t talk nonsense, Dr. Dunn and 1 aren’t in that kind of relationship.”

Nathan looked intrigued, “Oh, oh… Not that kind of relationship? It’s a romantic one, right… I understand!”

Even if the netizens didn’t know who the delicate woman was, how could Nathan, the person who personally removed her from the top search, not know?

Roy shot him a glare, “Don’t talk nonsense in front of Dr. Dunn.”

Nathan’s face read ‘I got it’, “Alright, don’t talk nonsense in front of Dr. Dunn, but it’s fine to talk freely in front of you, right?”

Roy was too lazy to deal with him, and with a more serious face, he asked with a tap of his fingers on the desk.

“How’s the situation with Lucas Thompson?”

The Thompsons wisely revealed Lucas’s whereabouts on their own initiative. Otherwise, Roy would not have let the matter rest so easily.

“Master, don’t worry. He’s already been detained by the West Asian police. With the amount of cargo on his ship, his time is running out.”

Roy nodded indifferently, “Keep a close watch!”

Nathan looked at his boss, who immediately returned to his cold-faced demeanor upon discussing work, and regretted not secretly capturing his overjoyed face when he was in a heated romance earlier on.

After being busy for a while, Roy thought that Richelle must have calmed down by now, so he picked up his phone again and sent her a text message on WhatsApp.

“Four o’clock, Circular Bookstore, okay?”

Richelle soon replied, “OK!”

Thinking of her earlier sullen and aggrieved expression, Roy’s lips unconsciously curved upwards again.

“Shall 1 pick you up?”

No one but his son had ever enjoyed being personally picked up by Roy Lewis.

Even when it came to his elders or uncles, Roy only arranged for them to be picked up by a driver.

“No need, I’ll be on time.”

Although Richelie’s response was expected, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

At four in the afternoon, Richelle arrived at the Circular Bookstore on time. As soon as she entered the main entrance, Roy, who was waiting for her at a small seating area on the left side of the entrance, rose to meet her.

He casually handed her a hot chocolate.

Richelle held the hot chocolate, naturally cradling it with both hands, then looked up at him.

“Have you been here long?”

Richelle is the forgetful type, and her everyday troubles, whether they’re embarrassing or annoying, are usually forgotten after a while as long as no one deliberately brings them up.

So, at this moment, she looked at Roy with the same usual cool and calm demeanor.

Roy looked into her clear eyes and shook his head, “No, I just got here.”

The two of them walked in and out of the elevator with an air of naturalness. Richelle, as usual, walked to the back of the elevator. Once Roy had entered, he pointed to a spot next to himself, “Richelle, come here.”

At first, she didn’t understand his intentions, but she obediently moved next to him and looked up to see the elevator buttons. She looked at him again, seeing his tall, sturdy, and reliable posture that gave her a sense of security.

Warmth surged in Richelie’s heart.

“From now on, just stand here. Reach out and you can easily hit the emergency button when needed.”

Roy knew he couldn’t always be by her side, so the only thing he could do was remind her of the best position that would enable her to quickly save herself in an emergency.

Richelie’s nose tingled, and she forcefully sniffed, nodding obediently.

“Got it…”

Roy felt a bit helpless. This woman was brilliantly intelligent, but occasionally she could be as clueless as a young child.

“About what we talked about last night…”

Roy was very worried about her, and even if bringing it up again might annoy her, he had to say it.

Richelle knew what he wanted to say. This time, she didn’t rebuke him, but nodded instead.

“I’ll find one. 1 have my own psychologist.”

Seeing her calmly agree, Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Richelle looked up with an apologetic smile, “I’m sorry about last night!”

After saying that, she shook the hot chocolate in her hand in front of him.

“Thank you for this!”

Roy’s eyes filled with amusement, “Consider this as my meal payment!”

Richelle clicked her tongue, “Stingy!”

Roy’s hand dangling by his side was itching to pinch her smiling face, or perhaps touch her smooth, curly hair.

His fingers twitched a few times, but in the end, he put his hand back in his pocket.

Both of them were highly efficient. Even though the children had requested a lot of books, the two quickly narrowed down the selection through the library’s computer database, found the books according to the computer’s location, and after quickly browsing them, threw suitable options into their shopping cart. The whole process took less than half an hour. In that time, they had picked nearly thirty books for the three children together.

After selecting the books, Roy told Richelle to wait outside while he went to pay. He then returned with two large bags of books.

Richelle reached out to take one of the bags, but he avoided her. “It’s not heavy, let’s go.”

Knowing she couldn’t outdo him, Richelle let him carry the two large bags of books to the parking lot.

Her car was parked just beside the elevator. She opened the door and reached for the books.

“You can go ahead and get busy. 1’11 head back first.”

She was already swamped with work, taking care of the children and her own affairs. As the head of a business empire and the first family, he was undoubtedly extremely busy.

However, Roy didn’t respond. Instead, he opened the backseat door, placed the books inside, and then got into the passenger seat.

He swiftly completed the entire set of actions without any delay. Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

Once inside the car, he gestured to Richelle, who was still standing outside.

“Let’s go!”

Richelle remained standing in place, “Don’t you have work to do?”

Roy replied, “Yes, but I can do it at your house if you want.”

Richelle was speechless, “My place is too small and crowded, and with the three constant chatterboxes, are you sure you’ll be able to concentrate on work?”

Richelle didn’t understand what he was thinking. His study was even bigger than her entire house, with a beautiful view and the pleasant sounds of birds and flowers from the balcony.

But he wanted to squeeze into her tiny, cramped house. The hustle and bustle weren’t even the main issue – the real problem was that the children could create such a ruckus that it would upend the house. What was he after?

Whether Roy was intentionally misinterpreting her words or truly thought Richelle was reluctant to have him, he seriously reassured her, “Don’t worry, 1 won’t take up much space.”

Richelle screamed internally, ‘Master Lewis, you may not take up much space, but you are a public disturbance!’
