Chapter 779: Chapter 775: Baby, I’m Sorry!
Roy Lewis returned home, already close to midnight, quietly sneaking through the door.
Uncle Axel came up to greet him and took his bag.
“Sir, your medicine and late-night snack are in the dining room.”
Roy Lewis wasn’t picky about food, but in that high-intensity work environment, he ate very casually.
For someone who was still in recovery, it wasn’t nearly enough nutrition.
So, his late-night snacks for a while have been personally prepared by Richelle Dunn, tailored to his needs.
In the past, Richelle would often accompany him in the study, eating and talking.
Discussing the day’s events involving the children and the elderly at home, discussing matters of the Lewis Group.
As for Roy’s side of things, since it involved too many secrets, he usually didn’t speak a word about it.
So, most of the time, he was eating while Richelle was talking.
Now, he was sitting alone at the dining table. Despite the late-night snack being just as delicious, Roy no longer savored each bite.
Because, until now, Richelle hadn’t returned his message.
Probably, she was exhausted and had fallen asleep.
Or, was too busy to reply to his message.
“How were grandfather and the children today?”
Roy wouldn’t generally ask Uncle Axel about Richelle.
Uncle Axel quickly replied, “The old master went out today to have tea and chat with some old buddies, and then picked up the young master and the little miss in the afternoon.”
“Dr. Dunn had a major surgery today and rushed back before Timmy and Tifanny went to bed. I had the kitchen make some porridge for her, but she hasn’t come down to eat it yet.”
Roy replied with a hum, it seemed, she had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
“Keep the porridge warm, she might be hungry later.”
Uncle Axel nodded.
After finishing his late-night snack and drinking his medicine, Roy Lewis carefully returned to the bedroom.
Having been busy all day, he planned to take a clean and refreshing bath before going to see her.
However, just as he was about to enter the closet, his body honestly returned to the bedside, seeing Richelle curled up and leaning against the head of the bed, without a pillow, without a blanket, her iPad and mobile phone casually tossed aside.
Obviously, she fell asleep while watching her iPad.
Fearing a big movement would wake her, Roy covered her with the blanket, leaned over and gently kissed her lips before getting up to get his clothes and bath.
After coming out of the bath, Richelle was still in the exact same curled-up position. With careful steps, Roy climbed into the bed, one hand reaching from under her neck, the other hand exploring from under her waist, and then, gently picked her up.
Richelle seemed to feel someone lifting her up in her daze.
With some effort, she opened her eyes slightly.
Her mind wasn’t quite clear yet, but she instinctively raised a hand to wrap around his neck.
“You’re back?”
Roy Lewis didn’t expect that she would be awakened by such a small movement, he paused for a moment before answering in a low voice.
“Yes, I’m sorry, I got back late.”
Richelle squinted at him with blurred eyes. After he adjusted her in bed and let her lean on the pillow, she reached out with both hands and pulled him close.
She rubbed her nose against his and murmured with a soft and slightly hoarse voice.
“Why are you coming back so late, I missed you…”
Roy Lewis doubted she was in a daze because her tone was exactly like Tiffany’s when she was coquettish, only appearing when she is half-asleep or deeply emotional.
He cupped her face with his hand and carefully kissed her lips.
“Baby, I’m very sorry, for making you suffer…”
Richelle opened her mouth and bit down on his lips, quite hard. After a while, Roy tasted a metallic flavor.
“You’ve broken your promises, you’re awful…”
Finally, Richelle let go of his lips, complaining with a sense of grievance.
Roy Lewis leaned down, gently kissing her lips, her nose, her eyes.
“Yes, I am awful, I am the one at fault…”
Kissing and reflecting on himself along the way.
“If you do this again, I’m going to divorce you…”
Richelle became more aggrieved the more she spoke, she had only held the marriage certificate for a few days, and she had been abandoned, such a man, it was hard to calm down unless she divorced him.
All Roy Lewis could do was make promises and gently soothe her.
A night full of desire…
…
The next morning, the three little ones were pleasantly surprised to see Roy Lewis, who hadn’t had breakfast with them for quite a few days.
“Daddy!”
The three little ones rushed at him like rockets, hugging his legs and waist.
As usual, Roy Lewis picked up Tifanny and kissed each child’s forehead.
“Good morning, babies!”
The little ones each gave him a peck on the cheek, then Timothy asked.
“Where’s Mommy?”
Roy Lewis lied without changing his expression.
“Mommy had surgery yesterday and she was too tired, she’s still sleeping.”
Timothy responded with a hum, not sure whether he believed him or not.
Then, Tifanny, whom he was holding, suddenly cupped his face and asked him with a worried expression.
“Daddy, how did you hurt your mouth?”
Timmy and Timothy exchanged a meaningful glance.
Sister, how can you be so naive and adorable (and silly)?
Roy Lewis answered smoothly.
“I cut myself shaving!”
Tifanny reached out her little hand again to touch his lips, with a scared expression, she said in a babyish voice.
“Good thing I don’t grow a beard!”
Roy had a smile on his lips, he nodded.
“Yes, Tifanny is a beautiful and cute little princess, she doesn’t grow a beard!”
