Chapter 739: Chapter 735: Very Lucky to Have Met You
Name and reputation that others could only dream of obtaining became a burden of responsibility and pain for Roy Lewis.
“I can’t handle it…”
Of course, Roy Lewis once desired power and status too.
But at that time, he thought life was so boring that he sought significance only in conquering wealth and power in his career, as nothing else attracted him.
But now it’s different. Richelle Dunn and their children are more important to him than Lewis Group and all the power he holds.
He’s not like Kennedy Green.
Kennedy Green is in his fifties, even sixties, and has spent the first half of his life building his career and accompanying his family.
It wasn’t until he was fifty that he pursued his far-reaching ambitions and dreams.
For Roy Lewis, his wife is not even formally certified yet, and his child is only just over five years old.
The passionate period in their relationship with Richelle hasn’t passed yet, let alone the honeymoon period and the delightful future that awaits them as their children grow – all these need time and effort to cultivate.
He would not live like Kennedy does now, as if selling his soul!
“Look at you now. Others may be envious of your position, but you act like you’re holding a hot potato, unwilling and disgusted.”
Roy Lewis said, “I am not just disgusted! If not for my uncle handing over this business to me and going to the front line without my knowledge, I wouldn’t want to bear these responsibilities. It’s too difficult!”
In recent years, Roy has worked alongside Kennedy, seeing how his uncle single-handedly challenged old power structures at the age of fifty. But rather than developing greater ambitions for power, Roy began to feel empathy and compassion.
Richelle has come across so much sensitive information that reading it makes one feel suffocated and helpless.
Therefore, the struggle and pressure experienced by Kennedy and Roy, as they bear this suffocation and helplessness in an effort to break and rebuild a new order, is unimaginable and difficult to endure for most people.
“Indeed, it’s very difficult. Just like Aunt Kennedy said, Uncle Kennedy is doing well now, and he can take a good rest.”
Roy Lewis agreed, “Aunt Kennedy is quite an exceptional woman. You could say that without her, there wouldn’t be the man Uncle Kennedy is today. That’s why I feel like you two are very similar!”
Richelle shook her head, “I don’t have Aunt Kennedy’s elegant temperament and presence, which she has refined through experiences and time. Being like her is not something easily claimed.”
However, Roy Lewis disagreed with her statement.
“But I feel that you, as you are now, can already stand shoulder to shoulder with her. In any case, Uncle Kennedy and I are both fortunate to have met such outstanding women like you.”
After Richelle massaged all his pressure points, Roy Lewis sat up and gently rubbed her wrists and finger joints.
“Tired?”
Richelle shook her head with a smile, “Not tired, I’m used to it.”
Roy Lewis hugged her, “I never understood why some people enjoyed skipping classes. Isn’t it just sitting in class and listening to lectures? Is it that difficult?”
“But today, I wanted to escape so many times, it was too oppressive!”
From Kennedy’s position, others could only see the glory of being above everyone else and having their every call answered.
But in reality, the files that ended up on the President’s desk,
Were either natural disasters or man-made calamities.
Almost none of them were good news.
“People like my uncle are destined to be recorded in history. I can’t do it, I can only be an ordinary person.”
Richelle held his hand back, playing with his slender fingers.
“Grandpa asked me today, if one day, like my uncle, you choose to enter politics, would I take over Lewis Group like Aunt Kennedy. I said I don’t know!”
Richelle seemed to say it casually, but Roy Lewis knew these were her true thoughts.
“I also told Grandpa, if you were to choose a political career, there could be many other possibilities for Lewis Group; it doesn’t have to be me.”
Roy Lewis kissed her forehead, “That’s right, Lewis Group is not your responsibility, and neither is our family. Do what you want to do according to your own wishes.”
“In fact, I was wrong just now – you and Aunt Kennedy are indeed different. Before she took over the Green Group, she was actually enjoying a leisurely and happy life at home as a full-time wife. Taking over the Green Group meant giving up her comfortable life.”
“But you’re different. If you took over Lewis Group, you would have to give up your career. Although Lewis Group might not need you, what you’re doing now is irreplaceable! So, promise me, never sacrifice everything you have for anyone else, even if it’s me or our children.”
Richelle didn’t know why Roy Lewis talked so far into the future, and quickly decided on her goals for her.
In fact, it was just a few months ago that she had made up her mind to follow her master’s footsteps and take over his legacy completely.
“Listening to you talk like this, I suddenly feel a great sense of purpose,”
Roy Lewis kissed her, “You’ve had this sense of purpose deep inside you all along, you just haven’t realized it.”
“You had it from the first time you met me and scolded me. Back then, I thought, this woman is so full of herself, acting like she can save the world!”
