Chapter 129: Chapter 125: Wanting to Hold Her, Kiss Her

Translator: 549690339

In Roy Lewis’ impression, Richelle Dunn was always sunny, optimistic, and upbeat, even though she could be arrogant and provocative.

But right now, even under the dim streetlights, he could vaguely see the hatred and cruelty in her eyes.

Her murderous aura shocked Roy Lewis.

She said she had died once, and apparently, it was true.

And this death wasn’t due to her own reasons but because someone had harmed her?

Roy Lewis’ gaze became even more unfathomable. What had Richelle Dunn gone through that made her become cold, cruel, and even bloodthirsty under certain circumstances?

Roy Lewis was still secretly observing and studying Richelle Dunn when she quickly calmed down after her outburst.

Although Roy Lewis was involved in the incident five years ago, he might not be one of those who harmed her. So it was pointless for her to vent her anger on him.

“Mr. Lewis, if that’s all you want to talk about, there’s no need to say more. I know what to do with my own affairs.”

Richelle Dunn might not vent her anger at him, and she was grateful for his help today, but that didn’t mean he could take the opportunity to barge into her world and instruct her on her life.

After saying that, Richelle Dunn turned around indifferently and headed towards her residence.

Roy Lewis subconsciously reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her.

“Richelle Dunn, 1 don’t intend to interfere. I just think you’re making things hard on yourself.”

Making things hard on herself? Richelle scoffed, turning to look at him.

“Roy Lewis, thank you for your concern! But human sorrows and joys don’t always align. You haven’t experienced my life, so naturally, you can’t empathize with my pain.”

Under the streetlights, Richelle’s beautiful face seemed to have lost its usual radiance, and her sparkling, lively eyes, though smiling, were like stagnant water, filled with desolation.

Roy Lewis’ heart suddenly felt like it was being tightly squeezed, making it hard for him to breathe.

Indeed, he couldn’t experience her pain, but he was willing to try to understand and feel it.

Roy Lewis’s deep eyes met hers, and an impulse to hug her, kiss her, and comfort her came to his mind.

But reason told him that if he hugged and kissed her while they were both sober, it would be crossing the line and disrespectful.

“How could you ever know if you never speak up?”

His tone was low and gentle, as if coaxing a beloved child.

For the first time in his life, Roy Lewis actively wanted to explore the inner world of the opposite sex.

And for the first time, he desperately wanted to comfort a woman he always considered to be big trouble.

Richelle stared at him intensely before finally asking after a long while.

“Roy Lewis, do you know what it feels like to be treated like an ant and have your life controlled by others?”

“Do you know what it feels like to be overjoyed just by waking up and realizing you’re still alive?”

“Have you ever experienced days when simply surviving is a luxury?”

Roy Lewis didn’t consider himself a good person. He had been the head of the Lewis family and the president of Lewis Group for many years, and he had heard, seen, and even done a lot of things.

His strong and unflappable demeanor was forged through countless storms.

But when he heard Richelle asking him those questions with the most plain and calm tone, his heart was stirred up by turbulent waves.

Roy Lewis endured the raging anger within him and forced himself to lower his voice and ask, “Who are those people?”

Richelle closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, a cold smile appeared in her eyes.

“Mr. Lewis, let’s leave it at that. My affairs have nothing to do with you!”

True, if Roy Lewis teamed up with her to deal with Jayden Dunn, her odds of success would be much higher.

But if that were the case, where would she put Roy Lewis?

And where would she put herself?

Indeed, she wanted revenge and the chance to see Timmy every day, as she did now.

But none of these could be reasons for her to use Roy Lewis.

Roy Lewis should have been angry, but the fury in his heart was extinguished when she said, “My affairs have nothing to do with you.”

The sense of helplessness that often arose when facing her came up again at this moment.

His original intention was simply to help her.

But as always, she was ungrateful.

He should have been angry, but he wasn’t.

Because now, he had a vague understanding.

She wasn’t ungrateful; she was just pushing him away again with her feigned indifference.

Roy Lewis released her arm. “Richelle Dunn!”

When she looked up, he stared directly into her eyes and spoke slowly and deeply.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, 1 won’t force you. If you ever need help, don’t hesitate to ask.”

Although there was a 99.9% chance she wouldn’t ask for help, he needed her to know that in this world, there were people like him who might not be righteous, but at the very least, they cared about her.

Richelle looked at him for a moment before slowly nodding. “I understand, thank you!”

Both of them returned home in silence. The children were disappointed that they returned so quickly but couldn’t help but blink curiously, wanting to ask for gossip.

Richelle, feeling tired both physically and mentally, didn’t wait for the children to ask questions. Instead, she rubbed their heads and said, “Mommy is a little tired today and wants to take a bath and go to bed early. You all should wash up and go to bed early too, okay?”

The children began to worry about Richelle, watching her intently.

She hugged them all together and said, “Mommy is fine, just a bit tired from work and wants to rest.”

The kids then stretched out their chubby hands, patting her back and touching her face.

“Mommy, you should go take a bath now…”

Richelle reassured the children, said a few words to Mrs. Walker, and then turned to Roy Lewis with an apologetic look.

“Mr. Lewis, please go back and rest with Timmy as well.”

Once Richelle went into the bedroom, the children’s gazes all landed on Roy Lewis.

Timmy even frowned and asked coldly, “Daddy, did you say something to upset Dr. Dunn?”

Mommy had been all smiles when she left the house, but after going out with his foolish dad, she returned with a worried look on her face?

Roy Lewis’s mind was filled with Richelle’s desolate expression. Hearing his son’s question, he didn’t refute it, but just touched his son’s head and said, “Baby, let’s go home!”

Richelle was indeed acting strange today.

But on the other hand, was he himself acting normal?
