After the couple finished their meal, they each went back to their bedrooms to change clothes.
Richelle Dunn stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room, trying on several sets of clothes without satisfaction.
Then, looking at the unfamiliar woman in the mirror with a slightly nervous and reddened face, she suddenly burst into laughter.
She had always thought that she and Roy Lewis, probably because they both had three children, quickly entered into the state of husband and wife after expressing their feelings for each other.
It seemed there was nothing that could stir up great waves between her and him.
But it wasn’t until now that she realized she was actually nervous about the way he saw her, leading to many uncertain emotions.
And these feelings were not what an old couple would have.
At this moment, Richelle finally admitted that she was quite looking forward to and excited about this first date with Roy Lewis.
It was now summer, and Richelle chose a simple light green strap dress. Her curly hair hung loosely over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup. Holding the latest designer purse Denise Munni gave her recently, she walked out of the bedroom with a light step.
Roy Lewis also came out just in time, and as the two met in the hallway, a bright light flared in both of their eyes at the sight of each other.
If she didn’t have a deep understanding of Roy’s character, Richelle would definitely think he had installed surveillance in her bedroom.
Roy, who seldom wore anything but suits, was wearing a dark green casual shirt with black casual pants. Though the style was plain, it looked quite stylish on him and accentuated his slim figure.
His usually unyielding aura seemed to have been somewhat diminished today.
Richelle saw her beautiful reflection in his sparkling eyes and smiled as she reached out her hand to him.
“Mr. Lewis, you seem quite happy today?”
Roy took her hand, his well-defined fingers intertwining with hers.
“I am quite happy!”
He looked at her earnestly, “Darling, you look beautiful today!”
Richelle raised her head, beaming a bright smile at him.
“You look pretty handsome too, my Mr. Lewis!”
They went downstairs hand in hand, to be greeted by Uncle Axel with a big grin.
“Will you be coming back tonight, Master Lewis?”
Uncle Axel was not an old-fashioned person, he knew young people nowadays have many dating activities.
Richelle’s face flushed as Roy replied for both of them.
“We’ll see how it goes…”
The couple arrived at the garage, where Roy personally opened the passenger door for Richelle.
“You’re driving?”
Richelle was slightly surprised.
Roy nodded, waiting for her to sit down before leaning in to fasten her seatbelt and adjust her seat.
“Don’t worry, although my driving skills are not as good as Master Dunn’s, I can guarantee safety.”
Richelle nodded with a smile, “Are you treating me like Tifanny?”
Roy finished securing everything for her, then leaned down to kiss her on the lips.
“You’re mistaken. It’s that I treat Tifanny the way I would you. Tifanny is just my daughter, and no matter how I take care of her, it’s only for a dozen years or so until she will eventually live independently. But you’re different — when you agreed to be with me, I took it that you were entrusting me with the right to care for you for the rest of your life.”
Richelle was completely melted by his deep and tender words, and she couldn’t help wrapping her arms around his neck, pressing her lips against his. The two shared a long, passionate kiss in the half-reclined seat.
After the kiss, Roy traced her moist, rosy lips with his long fingertips, asking her in a slightly hoarse voice.
“Darling, shall we still go on our date?”
Richelle looked at him with her beautiful, sultry eyes, panting slightly as she replied.
“Of course, isn’t that what we agreed on?”
Roy let out a long sigh, “You really are a tease.”
Though he sounded somewhat helpless, his eyes and face were filled with tender affection.
With reluctance, he kissed Richelle on the lips once more before straightening up, closing the car door, and making his way to the driver’s seat.
Not long after their car exited the Lewis residence, Richelle noticed a familiar car following them.
“You brought bodyguards?”
Roy confirmed with a soft “yes,” and added, “I am sorry, but it’s not very safe lately.”
Richelle had also been paying close attention to the movements of the Dunn family and the Thompsons’ Mason Lilliput.
She knew that Mason was currently rallying some conservative factions to give speeches in various universities, promoting their governing ideas.
Though these promotions seemed like show, the force they could rally was not to be underestimated.
“There’s no need to apologize, we’re family. Sharing weal and woe is the most basic, isn’t it?”
Roy responded with a hum, “Be more careful when you go to the hospital lately. Also, mention to Hugo Camrey that the Thompsons seem to have set their sights on his family.”
This was the first time Richelle heard about such a thing.
“It’s not because of me, is it?”
Although, thinking like that made Richelle feel somewhat conceited.
However, it was true that she had caused some troubles for Hugo Camrey previously due to the Dunn family’s issues..
