Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit

Chapter  267 :Chapter 263: Different from Other Rich Men!

Richelle Dunn was animatedly chatting with Kendrick Yacoub; did Roy Lewis not care?

Of course he was pretending not to.

Yet, deep down, he knew very well that she had not even agreed to be his girlfriend just yet.

Even if she had agreed and they were married, it would only prove their legally married status.                       ’

It wouldn’t mean he had the right to interfere with her decisions; she, being an independent individual, had the right to have friends and personal space untouched by anyone else.

His jealousy was his own problem; the respect and freedom she deserved he must give her.

Nevertheless, no matter how much he feigned indifference, his eyes would occasionally steal glances at Richelle.

When she was happily engaged in a conversation with Dr. Yacoub, her beautiful eyes would curve into a smile, hinting dimples, she appeared vibrant and full of vitality.

Even though it made him uncomfortable, he liked to see this side of Richelle! Thus, he should be happy for her to have such a supportive and relatable mentor in her career.

Having thought so, Roy Lewis pulled his gaze away and selected a big crab, preparing to take out the crab roe for their darling daughter.

However, seemingly sensing his efforts or trying to save him some work, their httle girl nudged him with her arm, “Daddy, Mommy also loves crab roe, get some for Mommy too!”

Upon hearing this, Roy placed the roe he’d taken out into a seasoning dish and handed it to Richelle.

“Richelle, this is for you.”

Richelle shifted her attention from the conversation, met his gaze with her own charming smile, and accepted the dish with a nod.

“Thank you!”

Roy’s heart soared with joy. He turned his gaze to Dr. Yacoub and spoke as the host of the evening.

“Dr. Yacoub, Richelie’s cooking is quite good; please eat more.”

Kendrick Yacoub naturally heard his attempt to flaunt a sense of superiority.

He faced Roy’s gaze head-on and smiled.

“Yes, it’s because Richelie’s cooking is so good that during previous projects when we had to pull all-nighters to monitor the experiments, Richelle would make midnight meals for me.”

There was a bit of misleading intent in Dr. Yacoub’s response.

While it was true that Richelle did make midnight meals, she did this for everyone on the team, not just for him, and that even included their mentor Sonia Seaton.

Roy wasn’t feeling very pleased after being outsmarted that way. He glanced at Richelle, who was busily eating the crab roe he’d prepared mixed with rice, ignoring everything else.

This girl, apparently, was allowing Dr. Yacoub to get on his nerves!

“Is that so? So that’s how Richelle has honed her cooking skills. I ought to be thanking you; she couldn’t even tell salt from sugar before!”

Richelle, who had decided to ignore the two petty men and was focusing solely on her meal, nearly rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

Admittedly, she was useless in the kitchen before having their child, but back then, she didn’t even know Roy.

So while Roy’s words may sound like gratitude, they were actually a form of show-off.

And unfortunately, when it came to wordplay or psychological tactics, Dr. Yacoub was no match for Roy. Upon hearing those words, his eyes dimmed a bit.

Indeed, many men had chased after Richelle over the years, but not a single one had truly touched her heart.

In the past, Dr. Yacoub had assumed that Richelle was just ambitious and didn’t want personal relationships to interfere with her career. This was also the reason Richelle had given for rejecting him.

After seeing Roy Lewis today, Kendrick Yacoub began to understand why Richelle Dunn had been so decisively rejecting his pursuers.

Because, in every aspect, this Roy Lewis possessed conditions and charm that far surpassed ordinary men of his age.

In Kendrick Yacoub’s perception, men of Roy Lewis’s status and appeal are rare, and his gentleness and attention to Richelle and the children is even more valuable.

Therefore, in the end, today’s contest was just a challenge he initiated single-handedly to Roy Lewis.

The result was self-evident.

Kendrick Yacoub’s fighting spirit was extinguished just like that, between a few words from Roy Lewis.

Roy Lewis, a master at discerning people’s hearts, saw the loss in his eyes and stopped speaking, simply saying.

And thank you, for the care and help you’ve given Richelle these past years.” Although Richelle had never mentioned this Kendrick Yacoub to Roy Lewis before.

But any man who Timothy and Tiffany had pegged as a potential boyfriend for their mom must be worthwhile.

He must have taken great care of Richelle and the children.

And Roy Lewis himself regretted, these past few days, the absence of his care and company for Richelle and the children over the years.

He knew how hard it was for a woman to raise two children by herself so he was grateful to anyone who had helped Richelle and the children in the past. Especially to Sonia Seaton, who gave Richelle and the children another chance at life.

Richelle, while washing the dishes, received a call from her master and learned of the great thing Roy Lewis had done behind her back.

“Richelle, thank me for Roy Lewis.”

Richelle was stunned, “Master, what did he do to make you thank him specially?”

-Huh? He didn’t tell you? You know my new project has been struggling to get funding? This morning, he contacted me, said he will undertake the investment for the entire period, and then, transferred the funds for the first two stages in one go. I asked him what he wanted in return, whether he wanted you to lead the project, he said he respects your decision.”

In the past, Richelle cursed Roy Lewis several times for being a filthy rich man whenever he was being financially aggressive.

Now, she had no choice but to sigh-having money is a great thing!

Others might say buying flowers or a handbag for a girlfriend is romantic but Roy Lewis, instead of buying flowers or handbags, was pouring money into her career.

To say she wasn’t moved would be a lie.

“Did he make any demands, like what percentage of the profit he wants when the project yields results?”

Richelle did not rule out the possibility that as a businessman, Roy Lewis had invested with the plan to reap substantial returns.

Generally speaking, these projects require substantial upfront investment but promise huge profits once they bear fruit.

That’s why so many investors keep pumping money into them.

But as an insider, Richelle knew that the profit margin of her master’s project wouldn’t be impressive even if it were successful.

Because the project was about developing a drug for a rampant infectious disease in the Third World, the profit margin wouldn’t be high even if the drug was successfully developed and mass-produced.

“I asked him about it too, and he said he would set up a charitable foundation under your and the children’s names and all profits from the project would be used to help children in the Third World and some vulnerable women and children in need.”

As Richelle listened, tears welled up in her eyes.

This Roy Lewis seemed to know exactly how to tug at her heartstrings. “Richelle, I revoke my previous negative judgments about him. I admit I was biased against him, but now, I am open-minded towards him.. Perhaps, he is different from those wealthy men I used to despise!”
