Roy Lewis heard her voice and couldn’t help but frown.

For Roy, Sherrina Kingston was one of the few women who got along well with him.

First, their fathers were friends, and they had known each other since childhood, so he would be less guarded than with other people.

Secondly, in Roy’s impression, Sherrina had always been a well-behaved, hardworking, and good-hearted girl, who was very tolerant of others.

Even if Uncle Kingston hadn’t had an accident, Roy had always been close to the siblings.

After something happened to Uncle Kingston, Roy took even more care of and tolerated them.

However, after she returned from studying abroad for several years, her whole outlook, whether it was her personality or her way of dealing with people, had changed a lot.

She used to be friendly and kind to people and things.

But now, her whole demeanor felt sharp and uncomfortable to be around.

In short, the Sherrina now was no longer the comfortable and easy-going younger sister next door.

“I have something to discuss with Nathan later, so I won’t be going.”

After all, since they were old friends, Roy didn’t want to reject her too harshly.

Sherrina seemed not to have expected him to refuse her and hesitated for a moment before saying.

“You guys have your talk, can’t I just tag along for a meal?”

Roy looked up at her, “What do you want to eat? I’ll help you order. Nathan and I will be discussing some major projects for the Lewis Group in the second half of the year, and I think it might not be appropriate for you to be there.”

Sherrina, having been thoroughly rejected, finally couldn’t feign persistence any longer and nodded with a forced smile.

“Alright, then I’ll go to the cafeteria with my colleagues and won’t bother you.”

Roy nodded and continued looking through the documents.

“Leave the files there for now. Once Richelle is back, I’ll treat you and your brother to dinner.”

Sherrina was about to leave, but hearing him mention Richelle Dunn, her eyes flashed with joy.

“Dr. Dunn hasn’t returned yet?”

Roy didn’t see her change of expression, and just replied, “No, she hasn’t come back yet.”

Sherrina was secretly delighted. She couldn’t help but ask half-jokingly, half-probingly.

“Roy, did you have a fight with Dr. Dunn and she left home?”

Roy was already somewhat suspicious that he might have inadvertently offended Richelle, so when he heard Sherrina’s question, he didn’t take it as a joke, but rather thought she was saying this from a woman’s perspective.

“When girls get angry, they leave home?”

Roy thought for a moment. The last time he misunderstood Richelle, didn’t she take the children and run off to South Asia?

That was no different from running away from home!

Sherrina thought she had hit the nail on the head and was secretly overjoyed, but she put on a comforting smile on her face.

“Not all girls, just some extreme ones who choose this way. But Dr. Dunn should be pretty rational and probably wouldn’t choose this.”

Although she was comforting Roy verbally, her heart was secretly saying, “Go on! Go away and never come back!”

“Of course she wouldn’t. She went on a business trip.”

On this point, Roy had no doubt.

Roy didn’t have any female friends around him to discuss the mindset of women in love.

In the past, he didn’t feel the need for such female friends.

Because he always believed that Richelle was a straightforward person, her temperament unlikely to sulk and run away from home.

As for her leaving last time, it was because he didn’t listen to her explanation or give her an opportunity to explain, which caused her to leave in anger.

But now, tormented by his longing for her, he felt somewhat desperate and couldn’t help but want to inquire more about what Sherrina had said.

He hoped to gain some insights or even answers from her words.

“Roy, it seems you have a lot of things you don’t understand. How about we go out and sit together for a chat tonight?”

Sherrina thought she had seized the opportunity and immediately went on the offensive.

But she didn’t know that right now, apart from dealing with urgent matters, Roy spent all his free time desperately trying to contact Richelle.

“No need. With Richelle not at home, I need to take care of the children.”

This excuse always worked very well.

However, Sherrina said,

“There is Uncle Axel and the nanny at home, isn’t there? It won’t make a difference if you don’t accompany them for one night. Besides, Roy, you’re an adult, and you must have your own friends and personal space, right?”

Roy was initially just looking for Sherrina’s advice, but after hearing her urging, he became a little annoyed.

“Sherrina, I am a married man. My family and children are my first responsibility. As for friends and space, I think I can arrange that myself.”

Sherrina could clearly feel the chill in Roy’s voice and became a little frightened. She glanced at him to see his face darken and didn’t dare say anything more, hurriedly responding vaguely with a few mumbles.

“Roy, then I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll go downstairs to work now.”

Roy gave a light hum, not even lifting his head as she left on her own..
