Chapter 232: Chapter 228: Missing You, Can’t Sleep

Jayden Dunn has always been cautious and quite enduring.

In fact, Theo has some similar traits to him.

“Theo, let’s put aside dealing with Roy Lewis for now. Kiara has just recovered, and you know her feelings for Roy Lewis…”

Theo’s face turned cold, “Dad, I opposed your stupid way of approaching Roy Lewis from the beginning. No matter how difficult he is to deal with, even Richelle Dunn and her little bastard are not easy to handle. He’s still young now, but when he grows up, we might be raising a tiger to our detriment!

When it came to that, Jayden’s face didn’t look any better.

-Who would have thought that little bastard would be so guarded against Kiara? I guess he really doesn’t think of Kiara as his mother.” Theo said with a dark face, “He’s Richelle’s seed, a born ingrate!” Jayden thought about it with a frown, “How about we talk to the Thompsons? Theo looked at him, “Dad, you mean to start with that little bastard?” Jayden nodded, “You’re right, instead of raising a tiger to our detriment, it s better to resolve it as soon as possible!”

It was already quite late when Richelle and Hugo Camrey arrived back in Kindur.

As soon as Richelle walked in, she sent a message to Roy Lewis to let him know she was safe.

■Tve arrived home safely. If you’re still up, I’ll call you in a bit.”

Roy Lewis couldn’t help but smile when he received her message.

He quickly replied with two words, “Okay!

He had a lot of work to do tonight, but after receiving Richelle’s message, he lost interest in working. He asked Uncle Axel to make him some tea and sat on the sofa drinking it while browsing through his photo album.

Roy Lewis didn’t like taking photos since he was a child. Other than the countless baby photos his parents had taken, the frequency of taking pictures significantly decreased once he started expressing his own opinions.

As an adult, he hardly took photos except during interviews or for ID pictures. However, as he carefully looked through his album from the past two months, he found that he had taken almost a thousand photos, averaging about fifteen per day.

Of course, most of the photos in this album were of the children. Some were group photos, some were candid shots of him taken by the mischievous kids. Some were pictures of him and Richelle, which the children secretly took. And some were pictures he had taken of Richelle!

He casually opened a video, wherein Richelle, with her beautiful, sparkling eyes, was talking to the children at a slight angle. He called out to her softly, and she turned her head with just a faint glance, her eyes filled with alluring charm.

For a moment, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

In the screen, Richelle laughed and scolded him, “Fool!”

At that time, he probably felt a bit embarrassed, so the video ended there.

Wasn’t he a fool himself?

Working late into the night, not sleeping, but smiling foolishly at a video clip!

There, after a long day of travel, Richelle quickly took a shower, made some tea, and sat down on the terrace with a box of cake.

She propped up her phone, dialed a video call, and then bent down to open the box and get a piece of cake.

“Richelle!”

Roy answered the call almost immediately, so what he saw on his screen was Richelle fussing with the cake box.

Richelle looked up and glared at him, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?

Roy threw her a straight ball, “Waiting for you.

Richelle blushed slightly, “Didn’t I tell you not to wait?”

Before Roy had left, Richelle had called him to inform him of her plans, repeatedly urging him to go to sleep and not wait for her.

But he remained as stubborn as ever.

“I miss you. I can’t sleep.”

Now, Roy had no scruples about saying what was on his mind.

Richelle Dunn’s face wasn’t good at handling being teased, and a large blush spread from her ears to her face. For a moment, it seemed she didn’t even have the courage to look him in the eyes as she lowered her gaze, picking up her cup and taking a sip of tea.

Seeing her long eyelashes trembling as she lowered her eyes, Roy Lewis’s heart felt like it had been scratched by a cat.

“Haven’t you had dinner?”

Roy Lewis finally managed to take his gaze off her face.

“I did. I had a sandwich in the car on the way back, but I’m a bit hungry now.” Roy Lewis suddenly had a heat in his head, “Then go change your clothes, and 1’11 take you out for a late-night snack.”

Richelle let out a surprised sound, looking at Roy Lewis on the screen.

“Are you serious?”

Roy Lewis nodded, already standing up from the sofa.

“Of course I am. I have a friend who makes private dishes, and it’s near your place. Go change your clothes, and I’ll come to pick you up.” Ever since becoming a mother, Richelle’s life had mainly revolved around her children.

She was busy herself and had to take care of her son and daughter. The last time she had gone out for a late-night snack was when she was in college.

“But…”

As Roy Lewis’s doctor, her rationality told her that she should make sure he went to bed on time instead of going out for a late-night snack past midnight. “Honey, I’m hanging up. I’ll call your cell phone later, and you can come out.” Roy Lewis was obviously afraid she would nag him in her capacity as a doctor, so he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Roy Lewis must have told his driver to drive very fast because in about half an hour, Richelle’s phone rang.

With her clothes neatly arranged, Richelle opened the door and walked out. Roy Lewis naturally took her hand.

“Let’s go. I’ve already asked my friend to start cooking, so we’ll have something to eat when we get there.”

Richelle originally wanted to lecture him, but then she thought, didn’t he come here in the middle of the night just to get her something delicious and warm to eat?

If she were to nag him at this point, she would seem too tactless.

“You can sleep in a bit tomorrow…”

Roy Lewis leaned in and gave her a peck on the forehead.

“Alright, I’ll sleep on the sofa later.”

Richelle was speechless. With his nearly six-foot-three frame cramped on her five-foot sofa, she was worried he wouldn’t be able to get up the next morning without his bones falling apart.

“Roy Lewis, are you serious?”

Richelle’s words were pure mockery.

Anyway, it wasn’t the first time he’d slept there. She would let him sleep in the bed for tonight, and she could share with Tifanny.

Otherwise, she would have to send him back home, which wasn’t necessary. Richelle’s bottom line in her heart was unconsciously being compromised bit by bit for Roy Lewis.

Roy Lewis was honest, “Mhm, as I said, I want to collect interest!” With such righteous indignation, Master Lewis was truly shameless! Richelle didn’t want to talk to him anymore. She took big strides down the stairs.

The small decrepit building’s corridor lights weren’t very bright. Richelle stepped too wide, her heel slipping, and she stumbled forward, losing her balance.

“Careful!”

Roy Lewis was quick to react, his hand wrapping around her waist as he pulled her tightly into his arms.

Richelle, still in shock, instinctively wrapped her hands around his waist.

“Ah! That scared me…”

As she spoke, her words were cut off by Roy Lewis’s slightly cool lips….
