Richelleâs heart skipped a beat, she looked at him carefully, but she couldnât discern any emotions from his expressionless face. f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com
Unsure if Roy was really angry, Richelle wrapped her arm around his like she would do with Tifannyâs, leaned her body softly against him, and answered him with a smile.
âMaster Lewis, itâs just an honorary consultant position, Denise mentioned it only to scare the father and son Jayden Dunn!â
Roy wasnât really angry to begin with; he was just putting on a stern face to scare her.
Otherwise, his old heart wouldnât be able to handle her secrets exploding one after another.
However, he could only keep a straight face for a few moments in Richelleâs presence.
After all, she was his newfound love whom he cherished deeply. fr eewebn ovel.com
Moreover, now that Richelle was hanging on him like a boneless person, his thoughts were full of other inappropriate things, and he had no intention to fuss about her secret.
Not to mention that he had already equated her with Margareth in his heart, so he could roughly guess the role of her current position after listening to her evasive answer.
Any position like that comes with secrets that shouldnât be shared, even between Roy and Richelle who were intimate.
Yet understanding didnât mean he would turn a blind eye to the matter.
Though he couldnât severely punish her, a small warning was still necessary.
So, he reached out to pinch her cheek and deliberately warned her in a heavier tone.
âDr. Dunn, can you not hide anything from me in the future? Iâm afraid itâll lead to misunderstandings, and while you and the kids can handle it, I canât!â
Although it sounded like a warning, it was more like a plea.
As he spoke with a menacing tone, he pulled his arm out from her embrace, wrapped it around her waist and easily lifted her onto his lap.
Thinking back to the chaotic situation when chasing her and their kids from the Federation to South Asia, he still felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, Richelle didnât actually want to cut off ties with him. Otherwise, with her skills, she could easily take the kids and hide somewhere without him ever finding them.
At this thought, Roy buried his face in her hair, inhaling deeply, and was completely enchanted by her familiar scent.
It was a fragrance that softened his heart and revealed his vulnerable side that stemmed from love and care.
His hands gripped her waist tightly, thinking about her spending almost the entire day with Hugo Camrey, and couldnât help but feel jealous.
âRichelle, if I could, Iâd really like to keep you in my pocket, take you everywhere with me, not let anyone see how great you are, and never let you out of my sight.â
Richelle had heard him say such words before. Indeed, they were dangerous words, and if they came from anyone else, she would have knocked him unconscious and run for her life.
But when she heard these words from Roy, she could only feel heartache and helplessness.
Because she knew that he was just expressing the innermost thoughts of another part of him, just like how she would feel jealous and angry when Timmy mentioned him meeting Ms. Gregory or Ms. Bailes, she too wanted to lock him by her side, away from othersâ gazes.
However, in reality, Roy had always been so tender and gentle towards her that he couldnât bear to even touch a single finger of hers.
Richelle reached back and patted his head. âRoy, you donât have to keep me in your pocket because, from now on, wherever you are, Iâll be there too.â
Richelle didnât like being restrained, but Roy managed to make her willingly settle in his world with his powerful yet controlled affection.
Because she knew there wouldnât be another person like Roy, who was strong enough to easily crush everything but still willing to use patience and tolerance to break down the armor she had built over the years.
Roy seemed to be moved by her words as his grip around her waist tightened, making her almost unable to breathe.
But Richelle didnât have any thoughts of struggling.
Instead, she relaxed her body, leaning entirely into his embrace, feeling his strong heartbeat.
And his burning warmth.
âRoy, do you know what traps a personâs heart the easiest on this Earth?â
Initially, she was purely attracted by his stunning looks.
But at some unknown point in time, she began to fall deeper and deeper into Royâs gentle demeanor, unable to pull herself out.
When she returned to South Asia with their kids, her master chastised her with an annoyed air.
âLook at you, how pathetic. If you have the guts, find a place he canât locate and run away.â
At the time, she laughed and replied.
âI canât. If he canât find me, how can I find another him?âp>
Of course, Richelle would never tell Roy about these specific details.
Because she didnât want him to become arrogant!
