nChapter 658: Chapter 654: I’ve Long Considered Myself A Member of the Lewis Family

n“Especially after his recent accident and undergoing two major surgeries, it was like walking on a thin line between life and death for him. He managed to get through these incidents, but nobody can predict fate. Thus, he must be trying to seize all opportunities, so as not to leave any regrets for himself, you, or the children!”

nRichelle fell silent after hearing Mr. Lewis’ explanation.

nIndeed, she should have thought about these reasons.

nHowever, perhaps because she had been so busy lately, or because she had grown accustomed to her current lifestyle, she was no longer sensitive and attentive to Roy’s feelings like she used to be.

nThis certainly wasn’t a good thing.

nMr. Lewis’ words acted as a wake-up call, pounding in her ears.

nIt instantly brought her to her senses.

nThis realization gave her a cold sweat all over.

nDid what happened to the couples who once loved each other deeply also happen to her?

nBecause they were busy, because they were used to it, they gradually neglected their partners’ feelings and thoughts.

nThus, causing two originally loving people, to drift apart?

n“Grandfather, thank you!”

nMr. Lewis was somewhat baffled, “Eh? What are you thanking me for? I came here today to sincerely apologize to you.”

nOf course, Richelle didn’t mention her situation with Roy, simply replied.

n“Nonetheless, thank you, grandfather. Your actions, in fact, are supporting me. You knew better than anyone that you didn’t have to do this. After all, Roy will be back soon, and by then, he will deal with all those troublemakers. But you chose to speak up for me at the earliest possible moment.”

nMr. Lewis looked a bit ashamed, he sighed long and said,

n“Your words have truly humbled me, Richelle. Others may not understand, but don’t Roy and I understand the efforts and sacrifices you have made for the Lewis family over the past few days? Even if people like Alexander don’t appreciate it, to make such a scene is nothing less than returning kindness with ingratitude. As their grandfather, to be honest, I feel I owe you.”

nRichelle felt increasingly uncomfortable.

n“Grandfather, I’m being thick-skinned here and say this. Even though Roy and I are not officially married yet, I’ve long considered myself part of the Lewis family.”

nAs far as Richelle was concerned, aside from the blurry images of her childhood that felt like dreams, she had never truly experienced familial warmth from elders.

nOf course, her master cared for her, but he was eccentric and never pampered her.

nIt was only when she was with Roy that she truly felt treasured, protected, and loved.

nEventually, whether it was Mr. Lewis or the Greens, everyone was extremely indulgent and caring towards her.

nSo, when Roy made this decision, she had stepped up without hesitation.

nFirst, of course, it was because she loved Roy.

nSecondly, she wanted to protect the Lewis family, for him, their children, and herself.

n“So, grandfather, your constant gratitude feels a bit out of place.”

nMr. Lewis was moved by her words.

n“Richelle, even though I had many prejudices against you at the beginning, now, I already consider you part of the family. It’s because you are part of our family that I couldn’t let you suffer the slightest injustice! Roy isn’t available right now, so it’s up to me to teach Alexander a lesson. If you think my efforts aren’t enough, feel free to teach him a lesson your way, I’ll support you unconditionally!”
