Chapter 193 - 189: Does he mean to force his way through?
Roy Lewis racked his brains trying to recall, but he could not find any related information in his memory system.
And Richelie Dunn, who was in his arms, was so frightened that she felt like her soul had been scared away. Other than her heart still beating, it seemed as if all other sensory perceptions had stopped.
When she was somewhat more alert and began to react, she realized that her position, embraced with Roy, was incredibly intimate.
Had she just asked him to wait for her?
How did it turn into this?
Did he intend to forcefully take what he wanted?
“Roy Lewis…”
A somewhat rational Richelle Dunn pushed against his chest.
Roy Lewis eventually snapped out of his trance. He took no notice of her resistance, tightened his left hand around her, held her closer, slightly lifted his head, leaned in to her ear, and whispered.
“I can wait, consider this hug as the interest!”
After saying that, he let go of her, placed his hand on the armrest and stood up.
For a moment, Richelle Dunn felt as if she were in his personal, enclosed space, everything in her sight, in her smell, or that her body could sense, was his presence.
As he stood up, she felt relieved and unintentionally took a deep breath.
Roy Lewis kept his gaze down, taking in every detail of her blush and her adorable demeanor.
He was in high spirits, placing his large hand on her head and gently rubbed it.
“Richelle, I will wait for you!”
After saying that, without any other movements, he turned around and left.
Richelle Dunn only came out of her shocked state once the sound of his footsteps had completely disappeared.
This man was intoxicating!
Richelle Dunn, knowing that she was deeply intoxicated by him and probably beyond help, buried her face in her palm, whimpering for a while before finally calming down. She took out her cell phone to focus on her own business.
Although Roy said he would wait, she couldn’t let him wait too long.
After all, a man as outstanding and desirable as him could be taken away by other women if he waits too long!
Even though, if that happens, she still had her trump card – their three children.
Still, if she, Richelle Dunn, had to rely on their children to secure a man, then she would rather not have him!
At half-past eight, Roy Lewis returned to the bedroom on time.
And, just like always, Richelle Dunn seemed to be right on cue, entering as soon as he settled down.
Richelle Dunn had prepared herself mentally before coming in, thinking that she could coexist with Roy Lewis normally as before.
But upon eye contact with him, her face heated up uncontrollably.
She hastily turned her face away, placed the medicine box to the side, and started the preparations with her back towards him.
Roy Lewis had already decided not to push her. Now that she had made her standpoint clear, he was more patient than ever.
Therefore, he was unusually relaxed.
Seeing her blushing, he did not tease her. Instead, he lay quietly and considerately on the bed, waiting for her to adjust emotionally.
He had been extremely agitated these days, and she was probably experiencing the same.
He understood that it took a lot of courage for her to ask him to wait.
If he were to pressure her now, he would be breaking the agreement they just laid down.
Then, it would be uncertain if she would give him another chance!
“Richelle, how’s Timmy’s studies lately?”
To make her feel more at ease, Roy Lewis started a conversation about the children.
For Richelle Dunn, any topic related to the children could easily divert her attention.
As expected, Richelle Dunn promptly replied.
“His progress in other subjects is the same as Timothy’s and Tifanny’s. His advancement in medical studies is practically a year or even more than what normal medical students would have completed. And this, is even when I deliberately slowed down the pace.”
Roy Lewis hummed in acknowledgement, “What about Tifanny, doesn’t she have a particular talent for drawing? Have you considered getting a famous teacher to guide her?”
Roy Lewis knew nothing about art, but with his connections, finding a few well-known, established artists to teach Tifanny was a piece of cake.”
Richelle Dunn never opposed Roy Lewis’s involvement in their children’s education, but the matter of getting a famous teacher didn’t need to be rushed.
“She is more suited for unrestricted creativity at the moment. I can still guide her at this stage. When the time comes, I’ll let you know.”
If it were before, Roy Lewis might have thought she was shirking. But now, he wholeheartedly believed that what Richelle Dunn said was what she truly thought of.
Although Richelle Dunn never explicitly stated anything.
However, he just felt an inexplicable confidence, believing that Richelle Dunn trusted him completely when it came to their children.
“What about Timothy then, has he determined his direction yet?”
Neither of them noticed that their current discussion and pattern resembled an old couple discussing their children’s future.
“He’s in no rush, let him decide for himself.”
Richelle Dunn herself was a person with a wide variety of interests since childhood. She had never intentionally given up anything, and had always followed her heart and interests in learning and doing things.
“I don’t demand them to achieve great things as long as they’re happy and enjoy it.”
If the old Roy Lewis were to hear this, he would have strongly disagreed.
Because he had initially raised Timmy with the goal and model of training the successor of the Lewis family.
Capacities and responsibilities were the most important things in the Lewis family’s education, and words such as ‘enjoyment’, ‘fun’, and ‘happiness’ were not part of the growth plan he had for Timmy.
However, even if Richelle’s teaching concept was completely opposite to his, he had not voiced any objection.
Because he had seen with his own eyes how Richelle Dunn, using her methods, raised happy children who were also full of capabilities and responsibilities.
“Yes, there’s no rush, they are still young. With their aptitude and learning abilities, there are numerous possibilities for their futures.”
Richelle Dunn nodded in agreement with his view.
“Just like me, I only started studying Medicine when I was twenty. Look, I managed to achieve a little something too.”
Richelle Dunn wasn’t being arrogant or boastful. Rather, she was merely using herself as an example to convince Roy Lewis to give their children more room to grow.
Instead of suppressing the child’s natural character and innocence for the sake of family business, like what he did with Timmy in the past.
In this respect, Richelle was quite fortunate that it was not too late when she and Timmy reunited. She still had the ability to save him from that horrific old-school education system.
And it was not too late for Timmy to enjoy his delayed childhood and innocence and experience motherly love and sibling affection..
