Translator: 549690339

Richelle understood Mrs. Camrey’s subtle hints and actions.

But she just wasn’t attracted to Hugo.

Moreover, she was currently keeping Roy Lewis waiting.

To others, she seemed single.

But in Richelle’s heart, she had already considered herself as someone who had a partner.

Even if it was just a verbal agreement, a promise was still binding.

Mentally, Richelle felt that she was no longer single.

That’s why, she would now indulge some of Roy’s not-too-excessive requests.

Like, when he asked her to accompany him.

Richelle wasn’t sure how long Roy meant by “accompanying him.”

But in her understanding, it meant to accompany him the whole day.

So, after Mrs. Camrey’s acupuncture session, she didn’t go home but instead drove back to the Lewis residence.

It was nearly 1 PM when she arrived.

Uncle Axel was surprised to see her.

“Dr. Dunn, why are you back again?”

Richelle smiled, “I came back to check on Mr. Lewis’s condition. Is he doing better now?”

Uncle Axel hesitated, but Richelle assumed that Roy’s condition had worsened and frowned, her steps involuntarily sped up.

“Has the fever returned?”

Knowing he couldn’t hide it, Uncle Axel had to be frank.

“The fever is gone, and Mr. Lewis’s spirits have also improved quite a bit…”

Richelle looked at him, signaling for him to continue.

Uncle Axel deeply respected the young doctor and his admiration for her was no less than for Roy. Under her gaze, he naturally betrayed Roy.

“Mr. Lewis slept all morning and recovered quite a bit. He had a good appetite at lunch, and then, he said there was an urgent matter, so he went to the study to deal with it.”

Originally, Richelle was heading towards the staircase, but she changed direction and headed to the first-floor study.

“What about Timmy?”

She had told her eldest son to take care of his father before she left. Knowing her eldest son, he was always serious, rigorous, and impartial, so he shouldn’t have indulged his father.

“Mr. Timmy went to sleep after lunch…”

Without even asking, Richelle knew that Roy must have tricked his son into going to sleep before sneaking off to work in the study.

“Uncle Axel, you can go rest. Mr. Lewis will be fine with me around.”

Uncle Axel had been following her all the time, partly because it was his duty, and also because he saw that Richelle didn’t look too happy and was worried about his master. He wanted to help however he could.

But Richelle didn’t even let him follow her, so he had to obediently turn around.

Sorry, master, I can’t help you this time!

In the study, Roy Lewis was busily typing on his computer, with a cup of Richelle’s special refreshing tea beside him.

When knocking on the door, Roy assumed it was Uncle Axel.

“Come in!”

However, after waiting for a while, he couldn’t hear Uncle Axel’s voice. So, he turned his head slightly to glance at the door.

At that glance, he met Richelle’s scrutinizing eyes directly.

Roy was startled and unconsciously leaned back in his chair.

“You’re back?”

It was rare for the normally authoritative man to be momentarily flustered.

Richelle leaned forward with both hands on the desk, looking down at Roy from a higher position.

“Roy Lewis, what did you promise me?”

In response to Richelle Dunn’s questioning, Roy Lewis was at a loss for words.

He was caught red-handed by Richelle, any explanation was obviously an excuse.

He decided to simply admit his mistake.

“I’m sorry, I thought I’d work for half an hour and then go back to bed.”

Richelle’s lips curled up, but it was clear she wasn’t really smiling.

“Heh, so it’s my fault for coming back early?”

Roy felt a wave of happiness gradually rise within him after the initial panic subsided.

When she said she would keep him company, did she mean for the whole day?

Roy suppressed the urge to smile, saved his document quickly, shut down his computer, and stood up.

“It’s my fault, I’ll go back to sleep right away.”

Seeing his apology and quick correction, Richelle nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

Roy quickly grabbed her arm, pointing to the stairs in his study that led directly to his bedroom. “You can go up this way!”

Richelle looked surprised. Although she knew the staircase led directly to his bedroom, she always considered it as private territory. She had been to the Lewis house for a long time as Dr. Dunn, always accessing the second floor from the living room then entering his bedroom through the door.

“I…never mind, I’ll go up from the outside.”

Richelle wasn’t conservative but was someone who valued rules and principles.

She saw private territory as a no-go zone, just like a legal restricted area.

Now, him letting her go up through this staircase meant that as the master of the house, he willingly opened his territory to her.

But she didn’t really have the qualification to claim it.

Or perhaps she could have had it, but the fact that she had rejected it meant she had no right to invade his personal space.

Roy didn’t know what she was hesitating about, but since he had promised to wait for her, he should keep his promise.

“Hmm, then come up later and bring some snacks and tea.”

Roy had learned from Timmy that Richelle usually only took a short nap at lunch and then worked.

So when she said she would accompany him, it must also mean working by his side.

Even so, it was enough to make Roy ecstatic!

Richelle went to the kitchen, made herself a cup of refreshing tea, prepared some snacks, and brought them to Roy’s bedroom on a tray.

Roy had already changed into his pajamas and obediently lay on the bed.

Seeing her come in, he pointed to a green beanbag sofa and matching small tea table next to his bed.

“Is this what you were talking about?”

Richelle had only been paying attention to him when she came in. Now, following his gaze, a smile appeared in her eyes.

“Yes, it’s so cute! I’ve always wanted to buy one, but my home is too small to fit it.”

She happily walked over, placed the tray on the tea table, and crashed into the beanbag sofa, instantly sinking into it.

“Wow, it’s so comfortable!”

Ever since she and Roy had cleared the air that day, the inherent qualities in her bones, which she had always suppressed in front of others, had unknowingly been released to some extent.

Now she was clearly very happy, like a child, her eyes beautiful and twinkling like stars.

Roy was glad he had gotten the beanbag sofa delivered from Furniture Centre as soon as he woke up.

Although it was a bit different from the sofa in his mind and didn’t quite match the black-and-white minimalist decor of his room, as long as Richelle liked it, it didn’t matter.

And now, seeing Richelle playing happily in the beanbag sofa like a child, the earlier clash in style seemed to disappear.

On the contrary, it felt like the green sofa was a branch with leaves while Richelle inside it was a blossoming, radiant flower, infusing his gloomy and lifeless space with a vibrant energy!

“Do you like it?”

He couldn’t openly ask her for confirmation now. He could only seek small droplets of validation to quench the thirst of his parched heart.

Richelle’s face was filled with a brilliant smile, her eyes shining and playful as she winked at him.

“I love it!
