Roy Lewis noticed Richelle Dunn’s lack of interest, realizing that the photoshoot probably didn’t bring her much pleasure.
Nathan Caroule’s suggestion over the phone to make her a long-term spokesperson seemed likely to fall through.
However, if she didn’t want to, then so be it.
It was just a branded watch after all, and even if the advertisement would save the company from shutting down, there was no need to force her.
“If you don’t like it, don’t do it again.”
Nathan had no idea that Roy Lewis had reminded him over the phone to put in
a good word for the company.
Indeed, his boss was a great fool!
Richelle Dunn laughed, “Who knows about the future!
After all, this was easy money that wasn’t always easy to come by.
As for that wealthy patron, his recent requests had been particularly tricky – even using her brain and hands to navigate the online world instead of her legs, she was still utterly exhausted.
Thinking of this, Richelle’s smile faded, and she couldn’t help but sigh.
Roy Lewis saw the transition on her face from sunny to cloudy and briefly assumed something significant had happened.
“Did something happen?”
Richelle Dunn realized she had been too lost in thought and quickly shook her head.
“It’s nothing, I’ve just hit a bottleneck in my recent work, and I’m a bit tired.”
Roy Lewis could only watch her with concern. Richelle Dunn was a top talent in the medical field, and he, who did not even know basic medical knowledge, could only hope to help her.
“Perhaps you could ask your mentor for help?”
Roy Lewis naturally assumed that Richelle Dunn referred to her medical work.
He hadn’t known about her other identities and their connection to him.
Of course, he also didn’t know that at this moment, he was the source of
Richelle’s distress.
Richelle took a long sip of tea and exhaled deeply.
“Never mind, I’ll figure it out on my own!
She then bent down to put down her teacup, “I’m going to help Mrs. Walker in
the kitchen!”
Roy Lewis, who had initially wanted to ask her to rest, suddenly recalled that she mentioned cooking as a way to relieve stress that morning. So he swallowed his words.
Mrs. Walker started chatting with Richelle as soon as she entered the kitchen.
“Mr. Lewis just asked me if you get up early every day to make breakfast.”
Richelle’s face darkened as she realized that he was still thinking about the casual topic she brought up in his house that morning.
Richelle leaned in closer to Mrs. Walker, “Do I look haggard, Mrs. Walker?”
Mrs. Walker glanced at her and laughed, shaking her head, “You are as beautiful as a flower, with soft and tender skin. How could you look haggard?
Richelle was puzzled, then why was Roy Lewis suddenly showing concern?
Mrs. Walker seemed to read her thoughts, “I think Mr. Lewis is worried that you’re busy with work and getting up early to make breakfast. So, he came to ask me specifically.”
Richelle Dunn was always efficient and usually asked Mrs. Walker to prepare some ingredients the night before. Thus, she didn’t lose much sleep over making breakfast.
“What did you tell him?”
Mrs. Walker was a hardworking and down-to-earth person. The Dunns had treated her like family for a long time, whether it was Richelle or the children.
Mrs. Walker naturally cared about Richelle.
“Since he cares so much about you, I had to tell him the truth.
Richelle was more curious, “What truth?”
“I told him that you usually work until late at night and get up at six in the morning to make breakfast.”
Both of these were true.
But for Richelle, this schedule had been her norm for many years, and her health remained excellent. To her, this was a normal routine, and there was no issue with overworking or staying up late.
However, Roy Lewis’s feelings about her routine might be another matter entirely.
Richelle Dunn thought of Roy Lewis’ well-organized lifestyle rules and could almost imagine his reaction to Mrs. Walker’s words. She felt helpless in her heart.
“Mrs. Walker, you really don’t treat him as an outsider!
Mrs. Walker, laughing, glanced at her, “Can you consider him an outsider?”
Richelle was stumped by the question.
Reasonably, she had always treated him like an outsider.
At most, she treated him as the father of her children, but between them, it was just a patient-doctor relationship.
But their recent interactions were too frequent. It seemed that their private affairs were more than their official affairs. She gradually got used to his presence in her life.
However, Mrs. Walker’s rhetorical question was as if someone shouted a wakeup call, suddenly pulling her back into the conflicting reality from their seemingly harmonious relationship.
“Mrs. Walker, have I been too indulgent with him?
As she asked the question, Richelle already had the answer.
At the beginning, she made concessions to allow her children more time with him, actively yielding and letting him penetrate her life bit by bit.
But gradually, even setting aside the matter of the children, she seemed to have gotten used to his presence in this home every evening.
His belongings, from his exclusive slippers to his towels, his dedicated cup, and even the exclusive pillows made for him by the children, were countless.
To any outsider, Roy Lewis was not an outsider in this home; instead, he existed like the man of the house.
“Ah, Mrs. Walker, what should I do?”
Richelle had been troubled by love matters only this once in her life.
Previously, no matter who her partner was, she could always handle them decisively and clearly, whether it was rejecting or not being ambiguous.
But now, she suddenly became indecisive.
Mrs. Walker had experienced all aspects of love and marriage. Seeing Richelle’s troubled appearance, she advised her.
“Richelle, don’t trouble yourself over this. Calm down and ask yourself what you want.”
Richelle wanted to calm herself and find the answer within, but her heart had been in turmoil for several days.
Moreover, her situation with Roy Lewis was not just a simple gender relationship, but the involvement of too many other factors. If she isn’t careful, she might lose all her gains!
“Forget it, let’s not think about it. We’ll talk about it later!
When there is some progress with the Dunns’ matter, she would probably find the truth about the past. Then, she would act accordingly and negotiate with Roy Lewis when it’s not too late.
In the living room, Timmy was checking something on his father’s phone when he found that the usual built-in screen had been replaced by a sexy photo of a woman. You couldn’t see her face, only her hand wearing a watch, and she was wearing a black evening gown.
Dangerous situation!
The alarm bells rang in Timmy’s head. Subconsciously, he wanted to consult his younger brother, but on second thought, his silly father had just recently gained some favor with his siblings and he couldn’t ruin it.
With that in mind, he decided to test the waters himself.
“Daddy, where have you been today?”
Roy Lewis looked at his son inexplicably, “I just came from home, I didn’t go anywhere!”
Timmy was half-doubtful, but he couldn’t see anything from his father’s face, so he decided to ask more directly.
“Recently, did Grandpa Clarkson ask you to go on blind dates?”
Roy Lewis suddenly became alert and looked at his son with furrowed brows. “Did Grandpa Clarkson mention this to you after you left that day?
Timmy shook his head, “Grandpa Clarkson didn’t mention it to me. You guys treat me like a kid. You say one thing in front of me and do something else behind my back!”
Timmy firmly believed it was the truth, and his heart grew more and more angry at his father. Wasn’t his relationship with Mommy going smoothly recently?
He even went to flirt with other women?
No, he couldn’t let Mommy be deceived!
He had to persuade Mommy to cherish her life and stay away from the scum
man!
