Translator: 549690339

When Richelle Dunn brought the noodles for young master to the dining room, Roy Lewis had already eaten more than half of his bowl of birthday noodles. His beloved son, on the other hand, sat across from him, resting his cheek on his hand, looking at him reproachfully.

“Timmy, come, this is yours!”

Richelle put the noodles in front of Mr. Timmy, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Picking up his chopsticks, he cheekily nodded towards Roy Lewis.

“Daddy, you get to eat noodles on your birthday, but I get to eat whenever I want!”

Roy Lewis was in a good mood and didn’t feel like arguing with the little imp.

Eating elegantly, he swallowed a bite of noodles he had just picked up with his chopsticks, then looked over at Richelle.

“Dr. Dunn, the noodles are very tasty. Thank you for the birthday gift.”

Richelle smiled, “You’re welcome, enjoy your meal!”

After saying that, she patted Mr. Timmy’s head and walked out.

Roy Lewis silently watched her figure as it moved further and further away. For some reason, he felt a slight sense of discomfort rising within him.

Richelle, who outwardly appeared to be a very expressive and outgoing person, should, in theory, be easy to get close to.

But from the polite smile she had just shown him, he perceived a sense of indifference and aloofness.

Hadn’t she had ulterior motives towards him from the very beginning?

But recently, he had felt her coolness and distance several times.

Could it be that he had misunderstood her from the beginning?

Or was this perhaps her way of playing hard to get?

Richelle was completely unaware of Roy Lewis’s subtle changes in mood. She sat on the sofa, seemingly browsing gossip on her phone, but in reality, she was thinking about how to overcome the final barrier guarding the Dunn Group.

The party that initiated this task seemed to be a tough one who hated being blackmailed. Since she had arrogantly demanded an upfront deposit from them that day, they had been silent for the past few days.

No deposit had been paid, and no messages urging progress had been sent.

Richelle wasn’t in a hurry, these few days gave her enough time to fully focus on dealing with the hard nut of the Dunn Group.

If nothing unexpected happens, she could wrap up tonight.

After Roy Lewis and Mr. Timmy finished their breakfast, Richelle performed acupuncture on Roy Lewis as usual. When the time came, she removed the needle, made her goodbyes to her eldest son, and hurriedly left.

Mr. Timmy didn’t hold her back, because he found out from his younger siblings that mommy had been very busy recently, writing papers until late at night. His younger siblings understood how to be considerate to their mother, so he, as the elder brother, surely couldn’t add to her troubles.

When Roy Lewis woke up, younger Mr. Timmy was still in the same position as when he had fallen asleep, sitting cross-legged beside his bed reading.

Roy Lewis propped himself up and sat up, giving his son’s head a little pat.

“Did Dr. Dunn leave?”

In fact, after having undergone acupuncture for so long, Richelle rarely waited for him to wake up.

But today, Roy Lewis made sure to confirm.

Mr. Timmy closed his book, “She left after removing your needles.”

Roy Lewis felt a slight disappointment, maybe because it was his birthday, and he felt that things should be a little different.

Mr. Timmy didn’t show his dad the same consideration he had for his younger siblings and mom, and ignoring the mild furrowing of his dad’s brows, he slid off the bed.

“So, are we leaving?”

Roy Lewis came back to his senses. Watching his son’s small figure, he knew that compared to returning to the old house to celebrate his grandpa’s birthday, his son would rather go play with Timothy and Tiffany. But with only one day in the year, if he and his son didn’t go back, grandpa might want to announce their disownment in the newspaper.

“Yes, you go wash up and change your clothes!”

At eleven o’ clock, Roy and young Mr. Lewis in matching black suits returned to the Lewis mansion.

The banquet this year was the same as always, a casual buffet in the afternoon for people to socialize, followed by a Chinese-style banquet in the evening.

As soon as Roy Lewis walked into the hall leading Timmy, the crowd’s eyes turned towards them.

A few close relatives came over to make small talk and pleasantries. Distant relatives, on the other hand, sipped their wine and discussed gossip.

“Do you think besides being ill in the mind, Roy might be sick elsewhere? Otherwise, he’s thirty and not only is he not married, but there’s also not a woman in sight…”

“Hmm, does he need to announce his relationship with a loudspeaker? Or did you see something under his bed?”

“Hey, don’t dismiss this, 1 heard there’s something going on between him and his doctor… I think it’s because of her that his third uncle and Wei got into trouble.”

“Speaking of, if they are indeed found guilty, will they have to face family punishment?”

“Of course! And moreover, the police are refusing to issue bail. Roy sure is ruthless. Was it necessary for him to fall out with his own family over a mistress?”

“So she’s really just a mistress? Why didn’t he bring her to such an important occasion today?”

“You’re so naive. If she’s just a mistress, then she’s purely for pleasure. How could he possibly bring her to meet Mr. Lewis?”

A few young men of the Lewis surname were drinking and talking in the corner, and not far away sat Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood, who heard everything they said.

Always invited to annual birthdays because of their status as Mr. Timmy’s grandparents, Kiara Dunn, as well as Jayden and Megan, were invited today as well.

“Jayden, did you hear that? There’s no hope for our Kiara, is there?”

In order to consolidate her daughter’s relationship with Roy Lewis, Megan Linwood had to use every stratagem at her disposal. However, over the years, not only did her daughter fail to marry into the Lewis family, but she also found it difficult even to meet her child and Roy.

The most unsettling thing for Jayden and Megan was that their collaboration with the Lewis Group, which had already reached the contract signing phase, had suddenly been postponed for further evaluation.

“Whether there’s hope or not is not something we can control!”

Jayden has always lavished extreme fondness on Kiara, but even with his love, he lacks the force to make Roy marry his daughter. Moreover, the trouble caused by his beloved daughter has angered him quite a lot.

“The most important thing right now isn’t about their relationship. If Kiara doesn’t make things up with Roy and Timmy, we’re in big trouble!”

In the past few days, many rumors had emerged. If he had not been alert and muted the rumors early on, Dunn Group’s stock price would have likely plummeted.

Megan sighed helplessly, “Yes, it all depends on whether Kiara can get Timmy and Roy to forgive her today. You should also intervene, and don’t always play the righteous act!”

Jayden glared at her, “Do you think I want this? If I don’t take Roy’s side, how can we live in peace?”

On the other side, Roy, having dealt with a bunch of relatives, brought his son over to Mr. Lewis.

“Grandpa, Timmy and 1 have returned to celebrate your birthday!”

Roy and Timmy bowed to Mr. Lewis, who was sitting on a grand chair, then handed over the birthday gift with both hands.

Having received the gift, Mr. Lewis beckoned Timmy over with a smile.

“Timmy, come and show Grandpa whether you’ve grown taller!”

Timmy walked a few steps forward and was pulled into Mr. Lewis’s embrace.

Roy sat down on a chair next to Mr. Lewis, took the offered tea, and sipped slowly, allowing Mr. Lewis to cuddle his son and ask questions.

Young Mr. Timmy had started talking more recently, but that was only when Roy and Richelle were nearby. When he returned to the big mansion, he became reticent and reverted to his cool exterior.

Even though he didn’t talk much, Mr. Lewis was still extremely happy, always asking about his well-being and caring for him.

Young Mr. Timmy was unusually patient, although he wasn’t talkative, he would answer all of Mr. Lewis’s questions.

“Your father tells me that you have a new private tutor, and you’re not going to kindergarten anymore. Are you getting used to it?”

Young Mr. Timmy nodded in response, not wanting to discuss the matter in front of Grandpa Clarkson.

Although he wanted to show off his mommy, he knew he had to be discreet. Being too ostentatious would invite trouble.

Roy entered the conversation on the side, “This teacher is also the doctor who treats my illness. Besides medical expertise, she also has degrees in education and psychology, so she’s very professional.”

Mr. Lewis’s eyes sparkled, “Oh? She’s a young woman?”

Mr. Lewis surely knew that his own son was sent to the police station by his grandson’s private doctor.

But he didn’t mention it in front of Roy.

Roy mentioned Richelle in this way was to test Mr. Lewis’ attitude.

He had already heard some unpleasant rumors in the family these days.

But since he dared to mention Richelle in front of Mr. Lewis, he was confident that he could protect his people.

“Yes, she’s quite young, 25 years old.”

Mr. Lewis, as though ignorant of Richelle’s history and feats, asked him about her with a laugh.

“Roy, why didn’t you bring her over? Isn’t today’s celebration the perfect occasion?”

Mr. Timmy was very smart, but even he couldn’t quite comprehend the several powerful moves silently performed between his father and his great-grandfather.

Hearing Grandpa Clarkson mention his mommy again, he became nervous.

He lifted his head, waiting for his father’s response.

He didn’t hear his father’s response, but instead heard a cloying, affected voice from nowhere.

“Roy, Timmy, you guys are back!”
