Chapter 767: Chapter 763: Are you implying that I’m old?
Roy Lewis’s reminder pulled everyone back on track.
Roy listened to their discussion for a while and hearing that it sounded normal, he went back to his own bedroom to take a shower.
After showering, he approached the mirror, shaved his beard clean, and combed his hair repeatedly before coming out and making a video call on his phone.
Richelle Dunn’s face appeared quickly on the screen. Subconsciously, Roy reached out to touch her face and whispered affectionately.
“Baby, I miss you so much!”
When they were together at home, they could see each other daily, and this heart-wrenching feeling was not so apparent.
Now that they were separated, in addition to Roy recently discovering that he had a strong rival in love, the feeling of crisis enveloped him and made him even more anxious.
The desire to see Richelle grew increasingly intense.
Furthermore, he did not understand why.
Clearly, his work field had little in common with Richelle’s.
But for some reason, no matter where he went, she seemed to cast her shadow everywhere.
Richelle’s eyes softened as she spoke gently,
“I miss you too…”
It felt like the screen did not exist; their eyes were filled with affection for each other. After gazing at each other for a long while, Roy sighed deeply and said,
“It’s so tough. I have to wait at least four more days before I can hold you in my arms again!”
Richelle chuckled and teased him without fear of repercussions,
“Master Lewis, watch your image!”
His eyes full of infatuation, Roy stared intently at Richelle’s brilliant smile and sighed again,
“What’s the point of having an image? I’m just a love-stricken man.”
Richelle tried to stifle a smile, waving her hand in front of his eyes,
“Master Lewis, wake up! This melancholic literary style doesn’t suit you.”
Of course, although Richelle teased Roy, she could truly feel his love and longing for her.
Roy didn’t mind her teasing, because he saw the yearning in Richelle’s charming and gentle gaze.
If someone had told Roy a year or two ago that he would be smitten and utterly miss a woman,
He would have definitely called that person insane.
Back then, he even thought that women were such burdensome and even terrifying creatures that he would avoid them for the rest of his life.
But life often slaps you in the face, and in just over a year, he felt if his life had never involved Richelle, it would have been incomplete.
Most of the happiness and joy in his life had been given to him by Richelle.
“It doesn’t matter whether it suits me or not. As long as you like it.”
Richelle laughed, “That’s right, I like it. So, it doesn’t matter. You can be melancholic or sunny, as long as it’s you, I will love it!”
Richelle seldom withheld her words.
In her opinion, since they were already husband and wife and had opened their hearts to each other,
Conveying love and affection openly to each other was not a shameful thing to do.
The couple exchanged sweet nothings and spoke of their deepest feelings for a while.
Then Roy asked about the situation with their children.
“They’re all well-behaved, but today, Timothy slipped while running at school; his knees were scraped.”
Roy became anxious immediately.
“Is it severe? There’s no damage to the bones, right?”
Richelle shook her head, “No, the bones are fine. It’s just a scraped knee.”
Roy suddenly remembered something, “But aren’t Timmy and Timothy participating in the Kindur Youth Games in a few days?”
Richelle nodded, “Yes, they were just doing some extra training for the games today. Unfortunately, there was a downpour this afternoon, and some water accumulated on the track. Timothy slipped and fell while running.”
Roy furrowed his brow,
“Should we cancel their participation in the games? This injury might affect his performance, right?”
Richelle clicked her tongue, “Roy Lewis, are your children this weak and fragile? If they give up over a small injury, what will they do when they encounter bigger problems in the future? Will they just avoid and not deal with them to escape injury?”
Roy knew that she was right, but he couldn’t help but worry.
“However, with the injury, he has lost all advantages, and it could worsen the situation…”
Richelle helplessly interrupted him, “Our children aren’t afraid to lose. Participating in the Games isn’t about winning or getting a good ranking. As for worsening the situation, you, as their father, don’t need to worry. I’m here as their doctor!”
Roy understood the logic, but as a father who was away from home and could not offer encouragement or comfort to his children, it was natural for him to feel anxious.
“Fine, we will listen to you for the kids’ matters.”
Richelle glared at him, “Actually, it’s not just the children’s affairs; your health is also my concern. You and the children are different. Children are still growing; they have the ability to heal from minor injuries and pain quickly without leaving any traces.”
“But you are not the same. Once something happens to your body, it’s gone for good, and it cannot regenerate. So, you must go to bed at the right time and get up at the right time. Otherwise, as your family, I will file a formal protest with the United Government!”
Roy was delighted to hear Richelle’s concern for him,
But he couldn’t help but tease her, “Are you saying I’m old?”
