Roy Lewis was a man of his word, and after breakfast, he wrote a check for Richelle Dunn.

Richelle was used to his mindset of using money to solve problems, and coupled with the agreement Timmy and Timothy had shoved at her last night, she was mentally prepared to accept whatever he offered.

Money was a good thing, and since he was giving it voluntarily, she would save it for their three children as a dowry and wife’s savings, which would be nice.

However, when she saw the amount on the check, she was still taken aback. She carefully counted the number of “O”s to confirm she hadn’t miscounted.

She picked up the check and waved it towards Roy Lewis.

“Mr. Lewis, are you sure you didn’t write this wrong?

Roy Lewis nodded confidently, “Our family rules state that for each child added to a room, a reward is given – US$ 68,340,550. You see, we had three children at once, so shouldn’t it be US$ 205,025,000 in total?”

Richelle had heard of wealthy families awarding bonuses for having children, and it seemed that the Dunns Actually* had such a rule before, but after Jayden Dunn took charge, these rewards seemed to have been canceled.

“Wow, the Lewis are indeed wealthy.”

Richelle had initially thought that she might just accept if it was a million or a hundred thousand dollars.

However, Roy Lewis gave her a huge sum one go: US$ 205,025,000.

While pondering how to handle this huge sum of money, Timmy had already taken the check from her.

“Mommy, I’m the eldest, so I’ll represent my younger siblings and accept this money.”

He took the check, showed it to Timothy and Tifanny, and then handed the check back to Richelle.

“Mommy, you help me and my younger siblings keep this money, and you’ll be responsible for our good food, drink, and comfortable living in the future.” Just a moment ago, Richelle was still weighing whether to take the check or not, after all, it was US$ 205,025,000, not US$ 13,700.

But now, the check had passed through the hands of her children, giving her no reason to refuse.

Because this money was no longer Roy Lewis’s or hers, but their children’s.

As their mother, she had a responsibility and an obligation to help them properly safeguard such a huge sum of money.

She accepted the check, and her thoughtful gaze moved from Timmy to Roy Lewis.

She seriously suspected that Timmy was colluding with his father to stage this!

But to her surprise, Roy Lewis looked somewhat surprised as well.

And in fact, Roy Lewis really hadn’t discussed any such thing with Timmy beforehand.

After all, the little guy had made his position clear yesterday: he was on his mother’s side.

So, when Timmy volunteered to take the check, Roy Lewis, the old father, secretly shed tears of gratitude and mentally praised his eldest son.

And Roy, as someone who always knew how to seize every opportunity, proposed:

“Richelle, I suggest that we jointly manage this wealth belonging to our children, what do you think?”

Roy Lewis seized the opportunity created by his eldest son and found another reason to strengthen the bond between him and her.

He has always been adept at the art of attack, aiming for the weakest point in his opponent to score a hit.

In attacking someone’s heart, it is important to find their softest, most valued side, slowly eroding and occupying it until it becomes an inseparable and complicated relationship that is impossible to unravel or understand.

As the mother, Richelle was extremely resistant to his suggestion.

Because she had indeed thought about keeping some distance between her and Roy Lewis, giving each other more time to see clearly and think carefully. However, the three children unanimously nodded their heads when they heard their father’s proposal.

Tifanny, speaking on behalf of the three siblings, said in a babyish voice, “Yes, we feel most at ease when Daddy and Mommy manage the money together.” Richelle, clearly played by her children, glared at Tifanny and eventually nodded helplessly.

“Fine, I’ll ask you if there’s anything I don’t understand later.

Roy Lewis was overjoyed but continued to maintain a calm facade, slightly nodding his head, “Okay!”

Once breakfast was finished and the three children went upstairs to play, Roy Lewis didn’t wait for Richelle Dunn to drive him away and proactively stood up to leave.

Although Richelle was angry, she still cared about his condition.

As she escorted him out, she poked at her phone a few times. “Mr. Lewis, I’ve sent you a contact on WhatsApp. It’s for one of my fellow apprentices. Add him, and schedule acupuncture appointments with him.”

This news was too sudden for Roy, who had been carefully putting on a smile from last night to today. He couldn’t help but frown and protest.

“I don’t want to!”

Richelle was startled by his response. She was about to explain the harm of stopping treatment when Roy completely ignored her and walked out on his own.

“If you do it, I’ll continue the treatment. If someone else does it, I won’t!”

Richelle hesitated and furrowed her brow.

She had always thought Roy was a reasonable person, especially when it came to serious matters like his own life, he wouldn’t joke about it.

But now, Roy acting like a spoiled brat, was even worse than Timmy. “Mr. Lewis, this is a very serious matter. We can’t make jokes about it.” Richelle returned to South Asia after assessing Roy’s physical condition. For his current situation, it would be fine to stop treatment for a few days, but if he stopped for a longer period or even quit acupuncture altogether, the surgery risks would increase.

Roy stopped, turned around, and looked at her coldly.

Richelie’s words just now had indeed hurt him.

Even if he knew it was his fault and had no right to be angry or expect anything from her, he couldn’t help but get angry.

“I know, I’m not joking with you.”

Richelle felt a headache coming on. She tried to explain that as a doctor-patient relationship, she wasn’t abandoning him, but there were really irresistible factors.

“Mr. Lewis, the thing is, my master has a very important project coming up, which I need to participate in. That means I have to stay in South Asia for a while.”

“But for your current condition, it’s okay to pause acupuncture for two or three days. If you stop for a longer period, all of our previous efforts might be wasted.”

Roy, who has always had a good temper, still glared at her.

“Richelle, you just want to break off our relationship! There’s no need to explain so much! Besides, you just said that you have no feelings for me, so whether or not I get treated is none of your business!

Richelle was experiencing Roy’s unreasonable and rude behavior for the first time, feeling both angry and helpless.

She gritted her teeth, and her voice involuntarily raised a few notches.

“Roy Lewis, is this your way of blackmailing me?

Roy spread his hands, “I’m not! You don’t care anyway, so how could I blackmail you?”

His words were true, if he didn’t care, he wouldn’t worry about her life or death!

Richelle was absolutely fed up with him, “Roy, it’s not that I don’t want to give you acupuncture, it’s just that you have to go back to Kindur, right? I can’t go back there for now, so I have to ask this fellow apprentice of mine to do it.” Roy saw that he had successfully dragged Richelle into the pit and was secretly delighted, but his face still looked unhappy, like a child who has been abandoned by his own mother.

“Then I’ll stay here, won’t I? My kids are here, where else can I go?” Richelle’s head ached from his relentless nonsense and she didn’t want to argue or debate with him anymore.

“Fine, whatever you want. Just know, I can’t guarantee when my master will let me go!”

Roy saw her give in and immediately put away his previous brattiness. He nodded and said.

“I’ll go back to the hotel and arrange some work, then contact you later.” Richelle thought to herself, what’s the point of contacting her? He’s now using the children as a weapon.

If he wants to come, he’ll say he misses the kids.

If he wants to stay, he’ll say he has to fulfill his duty as a father.

This reason is just too convenient.

Unfortunately, even though she knew about his tricks, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse him..
