Chapter 679: Chapter 675: A Special Place for Love
At first, the billion-dollar rewards for Roy Lewis were all properly reported, advanced, and then reimbursed to him from above.
But ever since he found out about Margareth’s true identity, when he was in a good mood, he would give out US$ 683,400 instead of the supposed US$ 136,700 reward.
If everything went well the next day, he would whimsically add a zero to the reward he initially planned to give, which was a million dollars.
Of course, he couldn’t report these inflated figures to his superiors.
Simply put, he reported slightly higher market prices to them and pocketed the difference as his own special treat for Margareth.
Now, when his uncle asked about this, he just made up an excuse.
“We know each other well, so he gave me a discount.”
Kennedy Green was somewhat skeptical, “In this big data age with targeted pricing all over the internet, he chooses to take the opposite approach instead?”
Roy Lewis smiled, “Geniuses tend to be eccentric, so it’s not surprising what they do.”
In the bedroom, Richelle Dunn, who was at a loss in front of the computer, sneezed several times.
After chatting with Kennedy Greene, Roy Lewis sent a message to Richelle Dunn.
“Hungry? Want some late-night snacks?”
When Richelle Dunn received the message, given that she was almost suffocated by Roy Lewis when she came back from dinner, she asked cautiously.
“Real late-night snacks?”
Roy Lewis looked at Richelle Dunn’s questioning expression and burst into laughter.
“Of course, what do you want? I’ll ask the chef to make it.”
And of course, after eating the real late-night snack, he wouldn’t mind enjoying another type of late-night snack with her.
Richelle Dunn seemed to have lost some weight recently, so it seemed like a good idea to ask the chef to prepare some nutritious food for her.
Richelle Dunn spent the whole evening in front of the computer without gaining anything. When it was time for their late-night snack, she seemed to vent her frustration.
She stuffed her mouth full of dumplings and then stared at Roy Lewis with puffed cheeks.
Roy Lewis found it amusing, so he took a napkin and wiped her mouth, then asked.
“What’s the matter? Is your paper not going well?”
Richelle Dunn leaned on the table and scratched her head.
“I’m afraid I’ve been stuck for six years since I got pregnant. I haven’t made any progress in the last few nights.”
Richelle Dunn was anxious and attributed her lack of progress to her own lack of technical knowledge.
Roy Lewis pulled her hand away, laughing.
“Alright, stop scratching. You’re going to make yourself bald.”
Richelle Dunn glared at him.
“If I’m bald, would you still want me?”
Roy Lewis hurriedly leaned in and kissed the top of her fluffy head.
“Yes, even if you were bald or old and toothless, I’d still want you!”
Richelle Dunn snorted, “That’s more like it!”
After snorting, she realized something.
“Hey, that’s not right! Even when I get old, I won’t be toothless! Don’t slander my future image.”
Roy Lewis enjoys Richelle Dunn’s occasional childish antics and her tendency to create trouble.
He held the back of her head and kissed the corner of her lips.
“That’s right, my wife will still be elegant and beautiful even at 100 years old, a lovely old lady!”
The couple finished their late-night snack, laughing and playing, and the previous gloom and unhappiness due to work had vanished.
Richelle Dunn glanced out the window and couldn’t help but sigh when she saw the full moon hanging in the sky.
“The moon is so beautiful tonight!”
Roy Lewis, though not a romantic person, had also heard that line before.
“Baby, are you confessing your love to me?”
Richelle Dunn smiled, “You can think of it that way!”
Roy Lewis leaned in and kissed her lips, “You’re even more beautiful!”
Richelle Dunn snuggled up to him and suddenly let out a full burp.
Richelle Dunn laughed and joked about the situation.
“That burp was so well-timed. I wanted to keep being a fairy for a little while longer.”
Roy Lewis hugged her tighter, “You’ve always been a fairy. Not just for a little while, but always. You’re my little fairy now, and you’ll be my old fairy later.”
Richelle Dunn clicked her tongue, looked up at him, and had a sudden idea.
“How about we go to the rooftop and enjoy the breeze and moonlight?”
Richelle Dunn had been living here for quite some time but had never been to the rooftop at night to enjoy the breeze.
After all, the villa’s garden was quite large, and there were plenty of places to enjoy the breeze, like lying on the lawn, sitting on a swing, or gazing at the stars through the glass roof of a beautiful greenhouse.
They could even climb up to the newly built treehouse their three kids had been playing in recently, listen to the insects chirping, and feel the night breeze.
Roy Lewis always gratified Richelle Dunn’s wishes.
“Sure!”
Richelle Dunn accommodated him and slowly entered the elevator.
It quickly reached the top floor, and Richelle Dunn supported Roy Lewis as they slowly stepped out onto the roof.
At night, the temperature dropped, and the daytime chirping of insects and the singing of birds were gone, replaced by the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the trees.
Roy Lewis couldn’t stand for long, so Richelle Dunn just fetched a big cushion, spread it out, and they both sat on it.
She leaned against Roy Lewis’ shoulder, listening to the soft sound of the wind whispering past her ears, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“This is so relaxing!”
Roy Lewis simply pulled her down to lie on the cushion and let her rest her head on his arm while he also took a comfortable breath.
“Indeed, it’s very relaxing! We should explore the potential of this rooftop.”
Because their home was so big with many available spaces to relax, everyone had forgotten about the open and comfortable space on the roof.
Richelle Dunn didn’t care one way or the other, “I agree, but how do you plan to develop it?”
Roy Lewis turned his head, bit her face gently, and then laughed.
“Turn it into our exclusive romantic spot!”
