Chapter 401: Chapter 397: The Taste of… Chicken Soup
Translator: 549690339 I
After forcibly sending away the two brothers Sebastian and Roy, even the usually serious Roy Lewis couldn’t help but laugh.
“Richelle, you have no idea how bad their faces looked when you cursed them.” Richelle Dunn scoffed, “I couldn’t care less whether their faces looked good or not. As long as the people I love are happy and content, that’s all that matters.” There were some words she didn’t say, but even now, her heart still ached with pain.
Out of concern for Roy, she asked Mr. Chapman to come over and stay with Roy while she went to his presidential suite to cook him some soup and dishes that he liked and brought them back to the hospital.
Roy initially thought she was going to perform surgery, so he didn’t pay much attention.
It wasn’t until she brought back a few food containers that he realized that her mention of going to perform surgery was just an excuse.
“Why did you go to cook for me?”
Roy washed his hands and sat down on the sofa, taking the soup Richelle had made for him.
“To replenish your nutrition, so you recover faster.”
In fact, she was just sympathizing with him.
Ever since she moved into his house, she had heard a lot about Roy’s childhood from Uncle Axel and Mr. Lewis.
Compared to Timmy’s several years in the Lewis family, Roy’s happy childhood probably ended after his father’s unexpected death.
Because at that time, Mr. Lewis had no choice but to take over the Lewis Group and the Lewis family, leaving no time to take care of him.
As for his mother, she was in a weak state after his father’s accidental death, with poor mental and emotional health, basically ignoring and neglecting Roy. Moreover, due to his congenital illness and being trained as the successor from a young age, none of the uncles and aunts in the family were genuinely kind to him.
It was easy to imagine how tenacious he had to be to overcome all these factors, take over the Lewis Group, and the Lewis family at the age of twenty, and push it back on track, rapidly developing within a short time.
However, Roy could see the tenderness and deep affection she was hiding from the way her eyes looked at him.
He finished the soup in one breath and then, unexpectedly, kissed her lips when Richelle was off guard.
Instantly, Richelle’s mouth was filled with chicken soup’s flavor.
After being released by Roy, she spoke without any hint of romance.
“Mmm, this was a chicken soup-flavored kiss!”
Roy, originally full of affection, had his romantic atmosphere ruined by her words.
He pinched her face, amused and helpless.
“Sweetheart, you are really good at ruining the mood.”
But Richelle wouldn’t admit it, “How is that possible? This adds to our memories!”
Roy just watched her trying to argue her way out. In any case, as long as it was her, he liked her no matter how unreasonable or nonsensical she was!
“Think about it, if we remember a chicken soup-flavored kiss in the future, we’ll think of this moment.”
Roy smiled and asked her, “Then what about the taste of the kiss we had before going out yesterday?”
Richelle answered quickly, “Strawberry-flavored, because I finished the plate of strawberries you gave me.”
Roy wouldn’t let it go, “What about the day before?”
Richelle answered without hesitation, “Cumin-flavored, we had grilled lamb that day.”
Roy couldn’t stump her, so he deliberately pushed the timeline even further back.
“What about the time in the elevator incident?”
Richelle seemed to have long recovered from that incident, as she had brought it up several times with Roy.
Richelle answered honestly, “I genuinely don’t remember that one?”
Roy stared at her with amused eyes, “Isn’t this a self-contradiction?”
Richelle clicked her tongue, “How could it be? That was my first kiss! My heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. Even if that kiss had no taste, I would never forget it for the rest of my life.”
Any man would be delighted to hear his girlfriend say that she gave her first love to him.
Roy was no exception.
“Alright, I guess you barely passed!”
Richelle pushed Roy away, who was still unwilling to let go of her, “Alright, if we keep hugging, the food will get cold.”
But Roy still wouldn’t let go of her, burying his face in her shoulder, taking a deep breath of air filled with her sweet scent.
“Actually, it’s pretty nice like this.”
Although Roy’s retrospective remark seemed out of the blue, Richelle understood what he meant.
“If the kids heard you say this, they might not talk to you for at least a week.” “I’m just telling the truth. It’s only in these few days since we confirmed our relationship that we’ve had a little bit of the atmosphere and feeling of being in love. Before this, with the kids around, I’d naturally feel like we were already an old husband and wife.”
Richelle actually agreed with what Roy said.
“So, haven’t you already made a rule that we will have a weekly date just for the two of us in the future? It’s just about to be written into our family’s code.” Roy laughed and echoed her words when Richelle made fun of him.
“Hmm, that’s not a bad idea!”
Richelle pushed him hard, signaling for him to hurry and eat.
“You’re serious? Aren’t you afraid of the three little ones staging a revolution?” For the first time, Roy felt that he understood the children better than Richelle. “Sweetie, I think you might have some misunderstanding about our kids?” Richelle just hummed, “What misunderstanding?”
“Maybe it’s because they all had a few years of single-parent life, so they are more inclined to see our loving appearance than anyone else..”
