Richelle was deeply moved when she heard his explanation.
“How do you know so much?”
Richelle rarely brought up her past voluntarily, not because it was unbearable to remember but because she always preferred to look forward to the future.
Whether the past was good or bad, it was set in stone and could not be changed. Therefore, there wasn’t much need to bring it up again.
However, Roy Lewis had a strong desire to know about her past.
There were some things he would rather hear her say personally.
But both of them were busy. Most of the time, the only moments they had to spend together alone were before sleep, and there was no extra time for communication.
In those brief moments before bedtime, Roy often felt that the time wasn’t even enough for intimacy, so he was naturally reluctant to use it for discussing their pasts.
So, he secretly added her college mentor on WhatsApp.
Occasionally, he would chat with the old professor and learn a few impressive stories from her past.
As for Master Seaton,
his attitude towards Roy had softened considerably since the completion of their last mission.
Sometimes, he would also engage in conversations about Richelle with Roy.
As for the children, she was more than happy to share stories with him whenever he asked. Sometimes, she would even talk non-stop, giving off a sense of deep connection.
“I learned these things from chatting with your mentor and Master Seaton,” Roy said.
Richelle had no idea that he would chat with her mentor and master in his spare time. It was only then that she realized what an inattentive lover she had been.
“I’m sorry, I can be quite thoughtless sometimes. If there’s anything you want to know, you can just ask me directly,” she said.
She knew him well. When he was busy, he would only talk to his grandfather for a minute or two, just long enough to let him know he was safe.
But he was willing to spend his precious time maintaining relationships with people on her side.
Roy, however, didn’t think it was a big deal. “Don’t overthink it, babe. I just find it interesting to hear some of your past stories from other people.”
Richelle imagined how she would feel if Roy’s elders or superiors shared stories from his past with her, and she thought she would probably enjoy it too.
“Okay, do whatever you think is best. If they ever get on your nerves, you can just ignore them. Older people can be quite quirky,” she said.
Richelle knew how to deal with the two quirky elders, but Roy wasn’t someone who could sweet-talk or appease people, especially his elders.
So, she didn’t want to impose this on him.
“It’s not as troublesome as you think!” Roy pinched her face, signaling her not to worry.
At noon, Richelle had to return to the hospital for surgery. By the time she came back, it was already evening.
Under Roy’s care, the children had already eaten and were now sitting quietly doing their homework in his study.
Hearing the sound of the door, Roy guessed that Richelle had returned, so he instructed the children to continue studying and went out to greet her.
Richelle came out of the entranceway, looking weary. Roy came to meet her and accompanied her to the living room.
Seeing her rubbing her shoulder, he walked behind her, placed his hands on her shoulders, and began to gently massage them.
“Why did it take so long? I thought it would only be three or four hours,” he said.
Richelle walked over and collapsed onto the sofa.
“There was massive blood loss during the surgery. Even after calling for additional blood from the blood bank, it still wasn’t enough. The director had to personally obtain more from another hospital…”
Roy sat beside her, pulled her to lean on his lap.
His large hands massaged her shoulders and back.
“Did you save the patient?”
Richelle closed her eyes in comfort, “Mmm…”
“That’s good! You’ve been quite busy lately. If it’s not urgent, how about I ask the director to have someone else do the surgeries?”
Richelle, however, shook her head, “No need, I can handle it.”
“I, too, have a little more time on my hands than before since everyone is helping share the burden of caring for the children. So you don’t need to worry,” she said.
How could Roy not worry?
Especially since he had to go on a business trip soon.
He had considered this for a while.
Initially, he had asked Kennedy Green to assign someone else, but the situation in central regions was tense. Kennedy was concerned, thinking that others might not be able to handle such a complicated situation. After discussing it several times, they decided Roy had to take charge personally and dismantle the Thompsons’ power and sales network in the central regions.
While Roy was hesitating about how to bring up the matter, Richelle seemed to sense his difficulty and looked at him earnestly.
“Or do you have something coming up that requires me to spend more time taking care of the children?”
Seizing the opportunity, Roy nodded, “Yeah, I might have to go abroad for a few days. During that time, communication might not be smooth, so I’ll be counting on you to keep an eye on things at home.”
From his vague explanation, Richelle could faintly guess that the matter he needed to handle abroad was probably related to his identity as Mr. Lewis.
“It’s not a matter concerning the Lewis Group?”
