Chapter 223: Chapter 219: Waiting is too hard, I need to earn some interest

Translator: 549690339

Richelle Dunn felt like a little rabbit playing around in her chest, making her heart race.

For a moment, she forgot to breathe, only feeling his lips gently caressing her own, soft and warm, with a faint tea fragrance.

Although it was just a light touch, she seemed to feel his inner restraint and desire from it.

Richelie’s heart ached. She wondered if she should just give in to him.

However, before the collapse of her psychological defenses, Roy Lewis left her lips.

Even so, his face remained very close to her, his profound eyes gazing affectionately at her. His fingertips, with fine calluses, gently rubbed her delicate cheeks, each stroke full of infatuation and indescribable emotions.

Richelle indulged in his tenderness. The remaining trace of reason in her mind wanted to question him. How could he break his word? Didn’t he say he would wait for her?

“You…”

Roy Lewis didn’t give her a chance to question, bowing his head and pecking her lips heavily.

“I’m sorry. The wait is too hard. I needed some interest.”

His voice was low and hoarse, clearly suppressing the desire within his heart.

At that moment, Richelle’s heart softened completely.

Her pity and guilt intertwined. She couldn’t help but stretch out her arms and gently wrap them around his waist.

Then, burying her face in his shoulder, she whispered softly,

“Roy Lewis, I’m sorry…”

If Roy Lewis had been more assertive at that moment and said something to her or even demanded something, she thought she would have agreed without hesitation.

However, Roy Lewis didn’t.

He simply stretched out his arms and gently embraced her, burying his head in her neck and kissing her fair skin, speaking softly to soothe her.

Silly girl, there’s no need to apologize to me!”

The more restrained and tolerant Roy Lewis was, the more Richelle felt that she was a terrible person.

However, the current situation did not allow her to be distracted, so she had to temporarily set aside her personal feelings and focus on dealing with the Dunns.

Roy Lewis held her for a while before finally letting go of her.

He was a perfectly normal man. If he continued to hold her like that, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t lose control.

He helped her stand up and gently fixed her slightly messy hair before sitting down himself and picking up his tea, resuming the calm and composed demeanor of a gentleman.

He took a few sips of tea, moistening his parched throat, before casually saying,

I’ve been pretty busy lately, so please take good care of the kids.”

In fact, during these busy days, Timmy had already stayed at Richelle’s house for two nights.

Richelle’s mood gradually calmed down and she smiled at him, “It’s okay, with Mrs. Walker’s help, and also, Timmy is becoming more and more like a big brother.”

Richelle didn’t brag, but in fact, Timothy and Tiffany, the two little devils who would easily go wild when they played together, were surprisingly well-behaved in front of Timmy.

So, it was true that one thing could conquer another, and Timothy and Tiffany finally met their match.

“Sounds good…”

Although Roy Lewis had been extremely busy lately, his mood had always been good.

Just like now, his eyes were smiling as he sipped tea and chatted with Richelle about the children.

Richelle stayed in the study for about ten minutes, waiting for him to finish his tea before getting up to leave, citing she didn’t want to disturb his work.

On the fifth day after Roy Lewis sent the Ancient Jade to the Dunns, Richelle received a call from Jayden Dunn.

“Ms. Munni, are you available in the next two days to meet?”

Richelle and Hugo Camrey had been waiting for Jayden’s call.

However, even though they were waiting, Richelle had to maintain her attitude.

“Mr. Dunn, I’m quite busy lately, and if you have no sincerity like last time, there’s no need for us to meet again.”

Richelle had thought the call would be from Harris Dunn.

Instead, it was Jayden who called.

It was unclear whether the father and son had conspired, or Jayden had taken the initiative to make the call.

“Ms. Munni, Harris was a little impulsive in speaking last time. Please be magnanimous and don’t take it to heart.”

Richelle not only wanted to take it to heart but also wanted to show them what they were in for.

“Mr. Dunn, Mr. Dunn made some excellent points, which is why he tried to scare away competitors.”

Richelle spoke half-truths, not specifying her intentions.

After a moment of silence, Jayden spoke again.

“Ms. Munni, regarding the share ratio that Mr. Turner mentioned before, we would like to reconsider it. It would be more convenient for both parties if we could meet and discuss it, right?”

Richelle was determined, “Mr. Dunn, that’s the best share ratio our company gave after a comprehensive evaluation of your company. If you can’t accept it, there’s no need to talk.”

Jayden hurriedly said, ’’Ms. Munni, the cooperation between our companies is not just about the share ratio. Aren’t there a lot of details to discuss as well?” Richelle’s heart was still unhappy, “In fact, I know there are several alternative companies for your consideration, so we thought we had no chance of winning and we’re ready to pull out.”

Richelle took a step back in order to advance.

Jayden quickly defended, “Couldn’t we? Ms. Munni, don’t believe the rumors. Harris and I have always wanted to work with United Ventures. Otherwise, we wouldn’t keep bothering you.”

Richelle felt more assured in her heart. It seemed that Roy Lewis’s plan to seek revenge against the Dunns by targeting Timmy indirectly helped her a lot.

“Alright, since Mr. Dunn is so sincere, I’ll discuss with Mr. Turner later to see if we can make an appointment.”

Actually, Richelle already had a time in mind, but the more anxious Jayden was, the more advantageous it was for her, so she didn’t need to rush.

Besides, she was indeed very busy recently and had to focus on dealing with the Dunns. So, she decided with Hugo Camrey that they would go to Lordon in two days to hold a new round of negotiations with Jayden.

Before leaving, she did her best to keep her daytime schedule open to spend time with the children.

After being busy for almost ten days, Roy Lewis finally found a free afternoon. He specially bought a lot of delicious goodies and picked a large bouquet of tulips from the flower room to bring to Richelle’s house.

Richelle was playing with the kids on the terrace. She opened the door for Roy Lewis, accepted the flowers with a thank you, and then tried to run back inside. Roy Lewis, who had hardly seen her for more than three or four hours in these days, was concerned. He reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her off-balance and into his arms.

The children had been well-behaved recently, usually letting their mommy open the door while they stayed in the living room, deliberately giving their poor dad some space and time.

At this moment, Roy Lewis hugged Richelle tightly, burying his head in the crook of her neck and taking a deep breath.

Richelle struggled for a moment, but he hugged her even tighter, as if trying to embed her into his body.

“Richelle, don’t move, let me recharge..”
