Chapter 730: 726: Baby, wait for me to come back!
The benefactor responded swiftly but concisely.
“Thanks!”
Clearly, he was quite busy.
Richelle Dunn had finished most of her tasks and didn’t respond further to the patron. She logged off and went to find the children, playing with them for a while, then taught them a fun lesson at their insistence.
After dinner in the evening, the three children accompanied their old man for a walk in the courtyard.
Richelle Dunn and Roy Lewis ate fruit in the living room to aid digestion.
“Richelle, next Tuesday and Wednesday, I have to go out on assignment.”
Richelle Dunn understood then, those two days would be the action days.
“Going abroad?”
Some things were better left unsaid.
Roy Lewis shook his head, “No need, I’ll be safe, and if all goes well, I will be home by Wednesday night.”
Richelle Dunn nodded, “All right, take care!”
On Monday evening, Richelle Dunn cooked a lavish dinner herself.
Kennedy Green, Maggie Mitchell, Nathan Caroule, and Denise Munni also came to Roy Lewis’ house to have an early mini celebration for Roy Lewis’ upcoming mission.
Everyone was aware of the tough fight that would take place tomorrow, so although the meal was delicious, nobody drank tea. And instead of drinking wine, they toasted with tea.
The three little ones also seemed to sense that their father had an important task coming up. After dinner, while the adults were chatting in the living room, the three little ones slipped away.
Close to nine o’clock, the three little ones came running down from upstairs, standing in front of Roy Lewis and Kennedy Green.
“Uncle and dad, these are the peace amulets we siblings made for you. Take good care of them.”
Tifanny gave the red peace amulets, hand-stitched by the three siblings, to Kennedy Green and Roy Lewis.
Both men happily accepted the peace amulets, each gave the little ones a hug and a kiss on their cheeks and said “Thank you!”
Early the next morning, Richelle Dunn made Roy Lewis’ favourite breakfast and after eating, the family sent Roy Lewis off on the car sent from the Presidential Palace.
Roy Lewis got into the car, but then got out again, and in front of his children, gave Richelle Dunn a longing kiss.
Then, he whispered in Richelle Dunn’s ear.
“Baby, wait for me.”
When Richelle Dunn, Roy Lewis and Nathan arrived at their office in Federation Government, they sat down in front of the large projection screen with Nathan and several other assisting ministers.
“Do you guys know who is the frontline commander this time?”
Roy Lewis asked the other ministers before Kennedy Green arrived.
The ministers looked at each other. They obviously knew the truth, but didn’t appear comfortable voicing it.
Roy Lewis looked at their uncomfortable expressions and laughed, waving his hand.
“No matter if you don’t say it, anyway, you’ll see soon. I won’t make it hard for you. Just finding it a little strange. I should have had a chance to know and develop some synergy with my counterpart beforehand.”
Until now, Roy Lewis still didn’t quite understand what Kennedy Green was up to.
He originally thought that as the mission approached, Kennedy Green would introduce him to his partner in advance.
As a result, less than half an hour before the mission started, he still knew nothing about his upcoming partner.
Roy Lewis was worried; even the most familiar person would need to warm up a bit to match the rhythm, wouldn’t they?
He didn’t even know who the other party was.
“Nathan, call Mr. Fred and see why Mr. Green hasn’t come yet.”
Kennedy was busy, but no matter how busy, this task, which had been planned for several years, should still be top priority.
Nathan dialed out from the phone on the table, only to get a busy tone.
He shook his head at Roy Lewis, “The line is busy.”
Roy Lewis took the phone and dialed Kennedy Green’s personal phone number. The result was the same, a busy tone.
Roy Lewis was worried that Kennedy Green might’ve been held up by something else, and he turned his head to instruct Nathan.
“Go see Mr. Green’s office. He probably was too busy and put his phone on silent mode.”
Upon hearing this, Nathan stood up.
“Nathan, Mr. President said he would arrive when the operation starts!”
Roy Lewis looked at the other ministers.
The ministers nodded their agreement, “Yes, the President told me the same.”
Well, it turned out that only he was kept in the dark.
Roy Lewis was left speechless.
He opened his laptop for one last simulation drill.
The prearranged time to connect with the frontline commander arrived. A burst of static later, a familiar figure appeared on the screen.
Roy Lewis widened his eyes and called out in surprise, “Mr. President?”
This was the title Roy Lewis used for Kennedy Green in the workplace.
The figure on the screen turned around, and indeed, it was Kennedy Green.
“Lewis, how about it? As I said, I’ll find you a person with a perfect level of rapport. You content with me?”
Roy Lewis didn’t know how to describe his feelings — there was surprise, and there was also a sense of sudden realization.
“Mr. President, it’s too dangerous for you to be on the frontline personally!”
Roy Lewis frowned, not agreeing with Kennedy Green’s actions.
