“If you truly felt nothing for her, would you be so eager to fetch Timmy? Why haven’t I seen you do that so frequently before? Is it just so you can conveniently have dinner at her house? No wonder, forsaking Timmy’s decent kindergarten and insisting on sending him to studying with Richelle Dunn. You’re clearly trying to use Timmy’s studies as a chance to get closer to her, aren’t you?”

Roy Lewis never would have thought that the old man, given his age, would have such a vivid imagination.

“Grandpa, the reason I’m so eager now to fetch Timmy, is because 1 finally understand how cold I was to him before.”

“Having him study at Richelle Dunn’s home, because she understands how to teach according to his abilities, and giving him the appropriate guidance. Also, her home has two children in the same situation as Timmy. They are the same kind, don’t you think that recently Timmy seems happier, like a proper child should?”

With regards to the changes in his great-grandson, the old man certainly had noticed. However, he doubted the credit solely belonged to the young Dr. Dunn.

“I see, you are completely smitten by Dr. Dunn. You mention ‘Richelle Dunn’ in every sentence. Thankfully 1 know she is your doctor, otherwise, 1 would have mistaken her for your wife.”

Roy Lewis increasingly felt that the old man was being unreasonable, “Grandpa, I am talking about the facts. I have no relationship with Richelle Dunn. If your words were to spread, it would be really awkward for her as a single woman.”

The old man was so angry his hands were trembling, “Look at this! You keep defending her, and yet you say you have no relation to her at all? Just now Axel mentioned you are dining at Dr. Dunn’s home, 1 found it astonishing. You actually would have dinner at a female subordinate’s house?! This is absolutely not your style!”

Roy Lewis had no idea how to explain it to the old man anymore, “Grandpa, since you are so dead-set certain this is the reality, then whatever 1 say is irrelevant. Anyway, these girls, 1 will not see any of them!”

After finishing, Roy Lewis signaled to Uncle Axel, “Uncle Axel, attend to grandpa, 1 still have some matters to attend to.”

Once done, he got up and walked straight to his study without caring for the old man’s glaring eyes and puffed up beard.

The old man was so angry he could hardly breathe, but he could do nothing about him.

Let alone that Roy Lewis was an adult now, even when he was younger, the old man could never manage him when he got stubborn.

“Axel, what do you make of this?”

Uncle Axel, who had been waiting in the living room all this time for orders, saw the argument between the grandfather and grandchild getting heated, so he decided to back away a bit to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Unexpectedly, he ended up getting involved anyway.

Uncle Axel, not wanting to offend anyone, tried to soothe the situation,”Grandpa, one’s blessings are their own, you just enjoy your blessings. Mr. Roy and Timmy are very filial to you!”

The old man grunted, “Roy Lewis is fine in every aspect, it’s only this matter of getting married that’s truly troubling.”

Uncle Axel handed the old man a cup of ginseng tea, “Grandpa, you should calm down. Fate can’t be forced!”

Uncle Axel was visibly nervous, worried he might accidentally step on a mine.

The old man took a sip of the ginseng tea, took a breath, and then looked at him.

“Axel, what kind of person is Richelle Dunn?”

Although the old man was still angry, he did understand anyone that can be accepted by his hard-to-please grandson and great-grandson was certain to have charm and unusual skills.

Uncle Axel could only reply honestly, “Dr. Dunn usually rushes off immediately after treating Mr. Roy. Every time Mr. Roy falls asleep halfway through the acupuncture session, she removes the needles and leaves. She basically doesn’t wait for Mr. Roy to wake up and hardly loiters around unless necessary.”

The old man was half in doubt, “Then she and Roy aren’t close?”

Uncle Axel earnestly thought for a moment, “They don’t seem very close. When Dr. Dunn arrives early, she usually sits on the sofa reading until Mr. Roy finishes breakfast and gets ready. Then she goes to give him acupuncture.”

The old man seemed to have discovered something new, “During the acupuncture session, are they alone in the bedroom?”

Uncle Axel shook his head, “No, sometimes I’m there, or sometimes Timmy would take a book to keep Mr. Roy company.”

The old man scrutinized Uncle Axel with piercing eyes, “Axel, is all this something Roy told you to say?”

Uncle Axel felt wronged, “Grandpa, you saw yourself. Since you arrived, I’ve been here accompanying you. Besides, this is all the truth. You can ask any servant to confirm it. 1 don’t have the guts to lie.”

The old man sniffed, “Then why is he always going to Dr. Dunn’s house?”

Uncle Axel carefully counted, “Not every day, perhaps three or four times?”

The old man was now convinced that he wouldn’t get anything more out of Uncle Axel.

“Oh, well. You folks have been at Roy’s side for so long, siding with him in what you say and do is to be expected.”

Uncle Axel, breaking into a cold sweat, said, “Master, 1 swear to the heavens, all I said was the truth.”

The old man, rising from the couch with a huff, glanced at him and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Look at your scared face! 1 merely asked you a few questions, there’s no need to be so terrified.”

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Uncle Axel thought, ‘You were once the savior of the Federation, who wouldn’t be shaking in their boots in front of you?’

“Look at how feeble you are!”, The old man ribbed, laughing and shaking his head, “Out you go, the chauffeur is still waiting outside.”

Uncle Axel hesitated, glancing towards the study.

“But didn’t Mr. Roy ask you to stay?”

The old man waved away his concerns, “Never mind, staying here is too stressful, I’d rather go home and find someone to play chess with and ease my mind!”

Seeing how Uncle Axel couldn’t really insist, he followed the old man out.

Upon his return, Uncle Axel reported in detail to Roy Lewis what had just transpired.

The old man was right, Uncle Axel’s loyalty was firmly rooted with Roy Lewis and his son.

Roy Lewis nodded in acknowledgment when he heard Uncle Axel’s report.

Only then did Uncle Axel breathe a sigh of relief, glad to see that Roy held no blame towards him.

The next morning, the young master woke earlier than usual. By the time he had descended the staircase, Roy Lewis had not come down yet.

“Grandpa Axel, where’s Grandpa Clarkson!”

The young master had gone straight to bed after his bath the night before, and thus, was not aware that the old man had returned to the main house.

“Young master, the old master left last night.”

The young master uttered a surprised ‘oh’, and after a while, his curiosity got the better of him and he asked Uncle Axel.

“What did Grandpa Clarkson say?”

It was the first time Grandpa Clarkson had ever come over to their house, in all the years as he could remember.

Uncle Axel, well aware of the young master’s temper, hesitated to give an honest answer. The many women who had come to the house seeking the master’s favor had faced no small amount of scorn from the young master.

“He didn’t mention much more. Just talked about some family matters with your father. Anyway, 1 didn’t really understand.”

As the young master’s sharp gaze pierced through Uncle Axel, he felt himself exposed and found it difficult to retain his professionalism.

“All! Why isn’t Dr. Dunn here yet? Young master, are you also eating the breakfast Dr. Dunn has brought over today?”

The young master recognized his evasive look, understanding that women were probably involved in this matter.

Humph, Grandpa Clarkson and daddy are planning to gang up and take advantage of mommy, a weak woman!

The young master felt indignant. The gears in his head started turning as he began to devise a plan.

So, after finishing breakfast, he retreated into his bedroom.

Rummaging out his laptop, he began to plot in silence..
