Chapter 318 - 318: 314: Baby, don’t tease!
The Dunns and the Zadras were both prominent families in Lordon, and Marcus was the heir soon to take over the family’s power. Naturally, they placed great importance on this joyous event. The Dunns had been experiencing a series of misfortunes in recent months, so, both families decided to ceremoniously celebrate the wedding.
Richelle Dunn received a special, urgent order of a designer dress from Roy Lewis a few days before the wedding. On the day of the wedding, dressed in the gown, Richelle and Roy together took the private helicopter of the Lewis family to Lordon.
For Richelle, it felt like wearing the most beautiful dress to the battlefield; a very spiritual experience.
As Kiara’s cousin, she would normally receive a wedding invitation.
However, due to her current hostile relationship with the Dunns, she and Roy held a VIP invitation given to important business partners of the Zadra family.
Richelle sat in the helicopter, enthusiastically flipping through the VIP invitation.
“Roy Lewis, neither the Dunns nor the Zadras should invite you. Where did you get this VIP invitation from?”
As soon as Richelle put on the deep blue galaxy gradient dress, Roy’s gaze constantly lingered upon her.
“If my wife wants something, I have to get it, even if it’s from heaven or hell.”
Richelle detected his evasive tone, turned her head and met his deep eyes.
“Do I look good?”
Roy blinked, “Of course, how could my wife not look good!”
Richelle was no longer surprised by Roy’s unexpected romantic and flattering words. She thought of herself no longer as the shy girl blushing at his slightest provocation from before.
She reached out, her fingertip ran from his chin all the way down to his Adam’s apple, slightly poked with force.
Roy shivered slightly, his eyes darkened. He raised his hand and grabbed her hand tightly in his palm.
“Baby, don’t provoke!”
Richelle chuckled and withdrew her hand from his palm, sitting upright.
In their recent interactions, Roy gradually learned more about Richelle’s childish and playful side.
Most of the time, he would indulge her playfulness.
However, under their current circumstances, it wasn’t a good time for joking.
He reached out and buckled her slender waist, made even more delicate by the dress. He leaned his face in, bit her pink lips, quickly retreated, and glared at her with intense eyes, threatening her with a low and hoarse voice.
“I’ll deal with you tonight!”
Richelle raised her eyebrows teasingly, seeing that he couldn’t do anything about her at the moment and therefore daring to be so bold.
Having finished teasing him, Richelle turned her head back to the VIP invitation. However, when she flipped it open and saw the words on the page, her eyes gradually changed.
[I desire marriage because you are the one I love most.]
She abruptly closed the invitation, her gaze went through the window and into the vast blue sky.
“Roy Lewis…”
Roy’s perception of Richelle’s emotions was very accurate and sensitive.
In any case, he could hear the prolonged note of grief in her voice that was barely noticeable to others.
Roy was originally browsing work emails on his iPad, but when he heard her call, his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly put the iPad aside, reached out and held her shoulder, earnestly inspecting her face while rubbing her face with his chin, asking gently.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
Richelle’s mood had clearly dropped. She slowly leaned her head against his chest and began to softly and slowly tell her story.
“You know, my dad married my mom back then despite my grandparents’ threats to sever the relationship. He didn’t hesitate, drew up a letter drafting the severing of the relationship and giving up his inheritance, and handed it to my grandparents. He then took my mom straight to the marriage registrar.”
Richelle spoke with her head lowered, her voice trembled, and her hands on Roy’s thigh, tightly gripping due to her sorrow, causing him some pain.
Roy kept quiet, feeling sorry for her hiding such heartbreaking emotions so deeply.
Perhaps it was because the invitation triggered some memories.
He gently patted her shoulder, not saying anything, letting her continue to pour her heart out.
“My dad, like Denise, once strongly believed in not getting married, but after meeting my mom, he confessed to her in a week and proposed in a month. I used to keep a lot of love letters my dad wrote to my mom, but…”
After being “dead” for so many years, all her belongings, letters, and her parents’ belongings were most likely cleaned out by the Dunns.
Roy felt heartache to the point of being unable to breathe. He took a deep breath to alleviate the pain in his chest and gently kissed her forehead.
“Baby, don’t worry. I will help you get back everything that the Dunns owe you and your parents, bit by bit!”
Roy’s eyes were filled with murderous intentions.
Jayden Dunn, one day, I will make all of you understand what is worse than death!
