Chapter 386 - 386: 382:1 Am the Loveable Liu Renren Loved by Everyone
“Richelle, I want to make a suggestion.”
Richelle Dunn was still engrossed in the melancholic ambience of the movie they’d just watched, her head propped in her hands as she watched the dazzling street views from the window absentmindedly.
“Go on…”
Roy noticed that her mind seemed elsewhere and refrained from speaking further. Instead, he reached out and played with her curls while they were waiting at a red light.
“Still feeling down?”
He didn’t expect that a movie would make her shed so many tears.
“Mhm, actually, the movie’s atmosphere was alright, I just…miss my parents…”
Roy gently stroked her face, “When the kids are on summer vacation, let’s go visit them, okay?”
She nodded, “Many people say that childhood memories are more often than not ingrained in us, without a clear image. But I distinctly remember the smiling faces of my parents and all the moments they showered me with love.”
He sighed quietly, “Yes, it shows they are still very much alive in your heart, and their love for you is enough to keep driving you forward your whole life. Of course, now you have not only their love, but also mine and our three children’s, and your Master, your martial uncles, your grandpa, your uncle and aunt, Ms. Munni, and Uncle Axel’s…”
Richelle was pretty downhearted initially, but upon hearing what seemed to be a never-ending list, she couldn’t help but interrupt him.
“Alright, I get it. I’m simply the universally beloved Richelle Dunn, okay?”
Upon hearing that her tone had finally regained some of its vitality, he felt marginally relieved.
“Of course, the person I love is naturally the best!”
After saying this, he realized his words could easily be misunderstood and quickly clarified,
“At least, in my eyes, you are the best, and no one else even comes close.”
Richelle murmured in acknowledgment, “I know, in the hearts of all who love me, I am the best!”
It’s this belief that kept her going all these years.
Because she believed that she was her parents’ best child, even in the challenging environment of the Dunns, she did her utmost to improve her life.
Believing that she was the best mother for her children, after giving birth to them, she did everything she could to provide them with a beautiful and happy childhood.
And also because she believed she was Roy’s best partner, once she chose to stand beside him, she used her own tolerance and love to support each other through their life’s journey.
“So, what was your suggestion?”
Richelle, reinvigorated, recalled his earlier statement.
Upon hearing that her tone had returned to normal, Roy let out a sigh of relief.
“I wanted to say that we’ve both been using busyness as an excuse to let life become more and more routine.”
Richelle thought hard about it and couldn’t help but agree with him.
“Indeed, Master Lewis, what’s your idea?”
Roy gave a rough outline of his thoughts, “I suggest, no matter how busy we are, we should ensure that we go out as a family at least once a week, embark on a short trip for around two days once a month, and take a ten-day trip every six months.”
This was something Richelle had never thought of, although she felt it was necessary.
However, because they had both been very busy, neither of them thought of it, and life kept passing by in an unvarying routine.
“Mm, your suggestion is quite good. The children will surely be very excited. I agree.”
Richelle thought that was the end of Roy’s suggestions.
Who knew that he’d immediately follow up by saying, “And for us, at least once or twice a week we should go on a date, either to watch a movie, eat out, or just wander around. In short, anything that we would like to do or places we’d like to visit but never have time for, we should gradually do them together.”
Richelle had initially assumed the date was a spontaneous gesture and given his personality, she thought he wouldn’t be likely to suggest it again after trying it out once.
Little did she know that things would turn out differently.
“Roy, are you suggesting these dates because you’re afraid I’ll feel bored? Are you making these suggestions to appease me?”
He didn’t understand why she would think like this, so he quickly dismissed her conjecture.
“Of course not, why would you think I’m appeasing you? Do you think the joy I’m experiencing today is fake?”
Richelle shook her head, laughing heartily, then confidently replied,
“I don’t think so. I’ve always thought that as long as you are with me, you are quite happy.”
Roy quite liked her playful, slightly smug demeanor, “Exactly, so how could something like appeasement be possible?”
“It’s just that you and I are both very efficiency-oriented people. Even with our romance, it has been a fast track, and as for having children, the less said, the better.”
“I feel I haven’t come to understand you fully. Of course, I also wish you could get to know me better. But since we’re both wrapped up in our own business every day, one or two dates a week will simply allow us to spend more time together, getting to know each other better, and enjoy life.”
“But the most important thing is, life is short, and we never know what lies ahead.. Hence, we need to enjoy our present happiness and joy as much as possible!”
