Richelle Dunn ran extremely fast, and her heart was throbbing excitedly, as if it was about to jump out.
The evening breeze here carried a piercing chill, but Richelle felt that the wind brushing her cheeks was incredibly gentle.
Her footsteps grew faster and faster, and when she saw Roy Lewis standing with open arms, she leaped towards him.
Roy Lewis’s strong arms firmly caught her in mid-air, and then tightened to hug her closely.
Richelle wrapped her arms around his neck, greedily taking in his handsome and familiar face in the dim night.
“How come you’re here?”
Richelle herself didn’t know that her voice carried a hint of coquettish sweetness, which directly softened Roy Lewis’s bones.
He slightly tilted his head and pecked at her lips, his deep eyes unblinkingly fixed on her.
“I missed you, so I came!”
His voice was deep and raspy, and when it reached Richelle’s ears, it seemed especially affectionate and stirring.
Richelle also stared at him, and although the light was not strong, they could both see the passion and warmth in each other’s eyes.
She couldn’t help herself, and lowered her head to kiss his lips. Then, she buried her face in his shoulder, taking a long breath.
“Roy Lewis, I missed you too!”
Roy Lewis had used his identity within the Federation government to come here by way of a high-ranking envoy, flying on the Federation’s presidential plane.
Along the way, he had prepared several explanations for Richelle.
However, when he saw her, none of them were deployed and all failed.
There was not a trace of anger in the girl in his arms.
Moreover, she was overjoyed at his arrival.
Roy Lewis had originally planned to carry Richelle straight to the car and then go to the hotel he was staying at.
He caught a glimpse of a tall figure still standing by the hospital entrance.
Under the night light, that figure seemed particularly lonely.
Roy Lewis put Richelle down, took her hand, and walked towards the tall and thin silhouette.
Although he couldn’t make out the person’s face, he was almost certain that the figure was Jack Quigley, the one who was said by netizens to be very well-matched with Richelle and like-minded.
At first, Richelle was dazed. Until Roy Lewis led her up the steps, she still felt a bit floaty.
Roy Lewis held her hand as they walked to Jack Quigley, stood still, and introduced himself.
“Hello, I’m Richelle’s boyfriend, Roy Lewis!”
Jack Quigley finally came to his senses. He quickly reached out his hand and introduced himself as well.
“Hello, I’m Richelle’s colleague, Jack Quigley.”
Jack Quigley didn’t know what he was doing. In fact, the moment Richelle lunged out, he knew who that man getting out of the car was.
He knew he should have left quietly, leaving the private space of the night to Richelle and her long-awaited boyfriend.
But he could not move.
Perhaps he still held a shred of hope.
Or maybe it was simply to utterly give up on himself.
When he and Roy Lewis shook hands, Jack Quigley knew that he had lost completely.
Or more precisely, he had never had a chance from the start.
“Thank you, Professor Quigley, for taking care of Richelle these days.”
Even though Roy Lewis was very angry and jealous when he saw the article,
he still maintained his poise and grace at this time.
Because he knew that beautiful people and things are bound to be coveted.
And the professor before him ought to be considered a gentleman.
“Mr. Lewis is too polite. Richelle is a very capable person. Whether in work or in life, she takes care of others more.”
Roy Lewis still sincerely thanked him.
Then he asked Jack Quigley, “Professor Quigley, are you staying close to Master Seaton? If so, could you please pass on a message for me? Just let her know that Richelle will be staying with me tonight.”
Almost all communication devices here were destroyed, so they could only use the most primitive means of having people pass on messages.
Jack Quigley nodded, “Um, Master Seaton is staying in the building next to ours. I will let her know when I go back.”
After making the request, Roy Lewis gestured to the car parked there.
“Professor Quigley, the road isn’t safe. Let us give you a ride back.”
Jack Quigley was about to refuse when Richelle, who had finally come to her senses, chimed in.
“Professor Quigley, you’ve been busy all day and must be exhausted. Let us give you a ride back so you can get more rest.”
Jack Quigley could not decline any further and got into the car with the couple.
Roy Lewis had come as an envoy, so the car that picked him up was a local government vehicle.
Jack Quigley looked surprised when he saw the car model and seemed thoughtful as he glanced at Roy Lewis.
Roy Lewis naturally felt his inquisitive gaze but had no intention of explaining.
The dormitory was not far from the hospital, and the streets were deserted at night. In just two or three minutes, the car was outside the dormitory’s courtyard.
Jack Quigley got out of the car, and it turned around to drive towards where Roy Lewis was staying.
“Richelle, does that Professor Quigley have feelings for you?”
These words somewhat broke the ambiance.
But Roy Lewis couldn’t help himself and asked the question..
