Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit - Chapter 692
Chapter 692: Chapter 688: The True Competitive Desire of Men
Roy Lewis looked at the three disheartened little ones and felt a mix of sympathy and amusement.
“As a mother, shouldn’t you be a bit more lenient when it comes to snacks?”
Richelle Dunn didn’t think so. “With their intelligence, getting some snacks is too easy. If I give them some leeway, they’ll always find some excuse. Snacks aren’t the problem, but their throats and bodies will suffer.”
Roy teased her, “But didn’t you say I wouldn’t understand the happiness that comes from little snacks?”
Richelle shrugged her shoulders, “Yeah, but who can guarantee that something that brings happiness won’t harm one’s health?”
“Fine…”
Roy discovered that he had been convinced by her once again.
“So, should I talk to Nathan and tell him not to indulge them too much next time?”
Richelle shook her head, “No need. With their intelligence, it’s too easy for them to persuade someone to make an exception for them. So, this boundary must be set by themselves and cannot be imposed by others.”
Roy thought about it and realized it made sense.
Today if they could persuade Nathan, tomorrow they could persuade the old man, and the day after they could persuade Uncle Axel… The exceptions would become countless.
So, the restraint has to be locked in their own hearts.
Luckily, the three kids were forgetful. Although they were disheartened for not getting snacks just a while ago, laughter and playful noise could soon be heard from the courtyard.
Roy looked out the window and saw the three kids chasing each other and playing.
He couldn’t help but feel glad that there were so many other things besides snacks that could bring them happiness!
That night, the three children studied in the playroom.
Richelle and Roy had been too busy lately, so they didn’t accompany them.
Richelle went online in the bedroom, trying to invade the system she couldn’t successfully invade a few days ago.
The result was the same as previous attempts – a failure.
Initially, Richelle didn’t consider why it was so hard to obtain these intelligence sources.
Then a casual remark by Roy gave her a new direction.
Roy had said, “The reason these special items can circulate in small countries is that the real power in these countries mostly lies with the handful of merchants who sell them.”
Richelle then had an epiphany and a sudden realization.
She had been focusing on Leutonia and its surrounding small countries and discovered that several of them used the same defense system which was extremely difficult to breach.
This was inconceivable for these small countries, which heavily relied on the military power of a certain Western superpower.
This also substantiated the truth of Roy’s casual remark.
Around ten o’clock, Hugo Camrey sent her a message.
“Richelle, Vanessa is not a problem.”
Richelle: “Then you two can negotiate a price.”
Hugo: “It doesn’t matter. We didn’t take the job for the money but only to help you.”
Richelle: “…”
Richelle still decided to message the generous financier.
“Financier, the tasks have been challenging recently, so I asked two friends to help. I hope you can ensure their safety.”
Richelle didn’t know that Margareth was being protected by Roy’s department as an important member.
Roy, on his computer, remembered that Richelle had looked for Hugo today.
It seemed that Hugo was indeed a fellow hacker.
“Okay! They will receive the same reward as you.”
Richelle intended to give Hugo and Vanessa the same compensation she received from the financier, but she didn’t expect such generosity from him, as most of her rewards were generously covered by Roy’s personal fund.
Fortunately, she had enough money recently to give some of it to Hugo and Vanessa.
But the financier was very generous.
“Thank you, Financier!”
Roy knew that for such a life-threatening task, if it wasn’t for their personal feelings for Richelle, Hugo and the other hackers wouldn’t have accepted it.
“Thank you, friends!”
Of course, the one who should be most thankful was you, my darling, Roy secretly thought.
Hugo and Vanessa quickly joined online, and following Richelle’s plan, they started their separate operations.
That night, Richelle and her friends still hadn’t achieved anything, but their joint efforts and experiences had led to some unexpected discoveries.
However, it was already late, so they decided to continue the battle another night.
Richelle went offline, returned to the master bedroom and finished washing. When she heard Roy’s footsteps upstairs, she walked to the staircase and waited for him to come up, giving him a big hug.
Roy subconsciously bent down to pick her up, but Richelle quickly let go and retreated a few steps.
“Don’t! I’m too fat now, don’t even think about picking me up!”
Saying she was fat was just leaving some dignity for Roy.
In truth, Roy’s leg was still in recovery, and his body was still recuperating.
How could he not understand her meaning?
He reached out to pinch her cheek, “You’re not fat. Just stay like this, give me some time, and soon, I’ll carry you with one hand!”
Seeing that he had dropped the idea of holding her, Richelle pressed against him again, encircling his neck, tiptoeing up to kiss his lips and then teased him.
“Damn men and their competitiveness!”
Roy held her waist and slowly pushed her down onto the bed, lowering his head to kiss her lips.
“Mmm… let me show you the real competitiveness of a man!”
