However, no matter how harmonious and joyful the atmosphere was at dinner, what’s bound to come, will come.

After the meal, the kids went back into the bedroom as usual to play.

This meant they didn’t want their parents to bother them.

Roy Lewis and Richelle Dunn both respected their children and never interfered with their little group activities.

Mrs. Walker took care of washing the utensils in the kitchen, and Richelle helped too, but she was chased out by Mrs. Walker.

Richelle carried the fruit tea that Mrs. Walker had specially prepared in the afternoon and poured a cup for Roy before taking the rest to the other kids.

Timmy opened the door and took the tray from her hands. Then, he said to her in a childish voice.

“I’m going to tell my little brother and sister a story, so please tell dad that we’ll be leaving twenty minutes late.”

Richelle originally wanted to find an excuse to send the father and his son away early. Now that her son said this, she had no choice but to tell Roy.

“Mr. Lewis, Timmy said he wants to leave a bit later. If you’re busy, you might as well let him stay here tonight and you can go ahead.”

Richelle’s house was small, so Roy had heard every word Timmy said earlier.

Roy understood that his son wanted to share a story with his siblings. On the other hand, he also wanted to create an opportunity for him to be alone with Richelle.

He wouldn’t waste such a rare opportunity and his son’s effort.

“I’m not busy. Nathan and I finished most of our work this afternoon. Now, it’s a good time to have some fruit tea and relax a bit.”

Richelle was anxious but couldn’t find any other reasons to send him away.

However, Roy finally remembered that little girl again.

“Richelle, come here.”

Richelle originally sat quite far away from him. When she saw him waving at her, she knew she couldn’t avoid this disaster.

She reluctantly grabbed the stool and moved slowly closer, “What’s the matter?”

Roy opened the picture of the girl named Aurora and showed it to her.

“Look, doesn’t this little girl look exactly like Timmy?”

Richelle cursed silently. Of course, they were identical triplets, so they naturally looked exactly the same.

But the surprise was evident on her face.

“Wow! This is too much! They look like the same person!”

Richelle was secretly relieved that Roy had never been in the children’s bedroom, so he didn’t know about the piano that belonged solely to Tiffany.

Roy agreed with her, “Yes, if you change this girl’s hairstyle to Timmy’s and dress her in boy’s clothes, she would be Timmy. They look so similar.”

Richelle had already decided that no matter what Roy said, she would never admit the truth.

From Roy’s current behavior, it seemed like he actually believed it was just a coincidence.

“Now that you mention it, I’m starting to think that it’s Timmy playing the piano.”

Roy laughed, “It seems you’re more gullible than me.”

He then showed Richelle the video.

“I heard that this little girl suddenly became famous in South Asia and caused a sensation. Do you know her?”

Richelle had prepared herself mentally and shook her head with certainty.

“I don’t know, I’m not really interested in this kind of news. Today is the first time I’ve heard of such a beautiful, cute, and talented little girl in South Asia.”

Richelle handled the conversation skillfully, but she couldn’t help but swear silently in her heart. To cover up one lie, she had to keep fabricating more lies in a never-ending cycle.

But her face didn’t show it.

“It’s a pity she’s not in Kindur. If she were, I’d take Timmy to see her perform. It would be incredibly thrilling to watch someone who looks exactly like him do something he doesn’t understand at all.”

Roy felt regretful, but he didn’t know that Timmy had been watching the other two who looked like him do things he didn’t like for a long time.

“Haha, maybe we’ll have a chance someday. However, I don’t think Timmy would like to go and see it.”

Roy thought about how his son usually looked disinterested and believed that Richelle’s words were more in line with his character.

“That’s true. He never seemed to be interested in other kids of the same age besides his younger brother and sister.”

Roy originally planned to show those screenshots and videos to his son, but now, thinking about it, he guessed his son would most likely dismiss them with disdain and refuse.

“What’s so interesting? It’s just about the resemblance, and it’s not even me!”

Richelle carefully observed Roy’s reaction and confirmed that he had no suspicion in his heart. Her heart finally settled down.

Although the topic was dangerous, there were truths between her and Roy with only one piece of paper or one wall apart.

Roy was so smart that she’d better change the topic sooner rather than later.

“This morning, while you and Timmy were having breakfast, I checked the Microgrid and it seems that the public opinion is not friendly to the Lewis Group.”

In fact, Richelle knew about the successful public relations turn by the Lewis Group and the subsequent halt in the Dunn Group’s shares after the market opened in the afternoon.

However, she couldn’t find any other topics to talk about at the moment.

Talking about this would at least give Roy the illusion that she was actually concerned about him.

Roy looked at her and then spoke reassuringly.

“Don’t worry, our public relations department has already resolved the issue.”

Richelle pretended to let out a sigh of relief, “The Dunn Group seems to be quite difficult to deal with.”

Roy didn’t treat Richelle as an outsider, “Jayden Dunn is nothing to be afraid of, but his son does have some skills. However, he won’t be a threat to the Lewis Group.”

Richelle knew that when Roy said this, it wasn’t out of arrogance, but confidence backed by strong power.

“Still, be careful. Desperate dogs can jump over walls, and desperate people can do anything.”

In the past, she thought the Dunn family was only ruthless but managed to stay smart. However, after living with the Dunns for over a decade, she realized how careful and alert she was, but she never noticed the danger and threat posed by Harris Dunn.

This meant that Harris Dunn was either weak or he was very good at hiding and pretending. People who followed Jayden Dunn’s ruthless and cunning tactics were likely to be dangerous if they let their guard down.

Roy’s face showed a hint of a smile, as he saw concern and anxiety on Richelle’s face.

“Mm-hmm, I will be careful for Timmy’s sake and for…”

Though he didn’t finish the sentence, Roy’s tender and affectionate gaze fell directly on Richelle’s face..
