Chapter 769: Chapter 765: Together Forever and Ever
The negotiation on the second day was about transportation and logistics.
As the big boss in this region, the East-Asia Federation naturally held a leading and dominant position in transportation and logistics.
However, on an international scale, besides the East-Asia Federation, South Asia had two other potential partners to choose from.
That was why Roy Lewis asked the staff to lower the negotiation expectations; otherwise, the chances of a successful negotiation would be minimal.
But if the East-Asia Federation’s offer was similar to that of the other two partners, South Asia would definitely choose them.
Firstly, the two countries were neighbors, which made management and communication more convenient.
Secondly, they had similar cultures, which meant fewer obstacles when working together.
Taking Roy Lewis’ advice, the staff changed their approach from the aggressive one they had used the day before to a more gentle and moderate one.
Also, on that day, Charlie Gyons did not try to pick on Roy Lewis anymore and quietly took on the role of guiding and leading for their side.
Although the negotiations went on the whole day with constant back-and-forth, they eventually settled on the terms that Roy Lewis’s team had expected.
The negotiation on the third day was a diverse mix, combining various small collaborative projects into a larger one.
With the harmonious negotiation on the second day as the foundation, the negotiation on the third day was quite smooth and similar to the second day.
After the three-day negotiation, Roy Lewis and his entourage headed to a neighboring small country in South Asia, where they stayed for two days, and things went as smoothly as expected.
Ultimately, on the eighth day of the business trip, Roy Lewis finally boarded the return flight.
Sonia Seaton also flew back to Kindur on the same plane.
When Roy Lewis and Sonia Seaton returned home, they were warmly welcomed by their children and Richelle Dunn.
Roy Lewis held the bouquet that Tifanny had handed to him personally, his eyes crinkling with laughter.
“Thank you, my babies!”
After hugging and kissing each of the kids on their foreheads, Roy Lewis asked Timothy.
“Baby, is your knee still sore?”
Timothy looked surprised, “Daddy, you know I got hurt?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Of course, Mommy told me about it every day. But by the time I finished with work each day, you were all asleep, so I didn’t disturb you.”
A smile flitted across Timothy’s face, “My injury is almost healed, no need to worry, Daddy! With Mommy being such an awesome doctor, I’ll be fine.”
How could Roy Lewis not worry?
He squatted down, pulled up Timothy’s pant leg, and saw the gauze still covering his knee.
“Didn’t you say it was almost healed?”
Timothy nodded, “Yeah, in a few days, I won’t need the gauze anymore.”
Roy Lewis then understood that while the injury was not serious, it would keep getting aggravated if Timothy kept training, making it unable to heal properly.
“When’s the competition?”
Clearly, Timothy’s injury would only start healing once the competition was over, and he stopped training.
Richelle and Roy Lewis had already reached a consensus on this matter during a phone call a few days ago, so he didn’t pursue it further.
“The day after tomorrow! Daddy, are you coming to see me and my brother’s race?”
Both brothers had registered for the 100m and 200m sprints, with the preliminaries and finals taking place in the morning and afternoon, respectively.
Roy Lewis looked a bit torn and regretful, but he had no choice but to tell Timothy the truth.
“Baby, I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to make it to your race with your brother.”
Although Timothy was disappointed, he had always been an optimistic kid. He hugged Roy Lewis.
“Daddy, it’s okay! Mommy, grandma, and sis will cheer for us! You just focus on work, and we’ll bring back the gold medals.”
Roy Lewis had a packed schedule ahead, and all he could do was focus on work.
After the kids were all over Sonia Seaton, chattering away, he asked Richelle.
“Is Timothy’s injury really not a problem?”
Richelle shook her head, “It’s not a big deal, just a bit painful. But when I mentioned dropping out, he didn’t agree, so we have to respect his decision.”
Roy Lewis hugged her and gave her a light kiss on the lips.
“Well, thank you for your hard work.”
Richelle held his hand and led him to the living room, made him sit down, then went to the kitchen and brought him a bowl of herbal medicine.
“Drink this.”
Roy Lewis didn’t ask any questions, accepted the bowl, and drank it all without even furrowing his brow.
After watching him finish the drink, Richelle took the bowl from him and handed him a tissue.
“You’re really something, not even asking what it is and just drinking it. Aren’t you scared I’d give you something strange?”
Roy Lewis shook his head with a smile, “What strange things could you give me? Besides, as long as it’s from you, I’d even drink poison!”
Richelle rolled her eyes and teased him,
“Are you stupid?”
Roy Lewis caught her hand, kissed it gently, and said,
“As long as you like it, whether I’m stupid or foolish, it doesn’t matter.”
Richelle couldn’t help but laugh,
“Oh no, I really married a fool! Can I change my mind now?”
Roy Lewis raised his eyebrows and looked at her, “Mrs. Lewis, it’s too late to change your mind! You and Mr. Roy Lewis will be together for this life, and the next, forever and ever, there’s no turning back!”
