Chapter 271: Chapter 267: Richelie, Master has disappeared!

Translator: 549690339

The place where Richelle Dunn lived was not far from Sonia Seaton’s laboratory.

At around four o’clock, she arrived at the lab.

Those in the lab were her senior brothers and sisters, who all gathered around her when they saw her return.

Richelle took out the cookies she baked yesterday to comfort everyone and then looked around.

“Ricky, where is Master?”

Her senior brother Ricky was a thin and tall man in his thirties. He stuffed his mouth with cookies and replied.

“She was called away by the city leaders at the last minute. They said there was some important guest coming and they needed her to introduce the project progress.”

Sonia Seaton usually didn’t like doing these kinds of things.

But for the advancement of the project and the introduction of funds, she had to force herself to do it from time to time.

Richelle clicked her tongue, “Master should have told me she wouldn’t be here.”

She had come all the way for nothing.

“Master left in a hurry; the city called urgently, and someone came to pick her up.”

Ricky explained, and Richelle didn’t pay much attention to it since such things had happened before.

Moreover, her master was quite absent-minded in real life. It’s not uncommon for her to be a no-show even when they had agreed to meet.

“Alright then, since Master is not here, I’ll leave.”

Her mind was still occupied with thoughts of the children.

Although Roy Lewis was there, she wasn’t sure if there would be any conflicts between him and Timothy given Timothy’s current attitude towards Roy.

As it turned out, Richelle had worried too much.

Or perhaps, she had underestimated Roy Lewis.

When she returned home, she saw Roy Lewis watching a soccer game with Timmy and Timothy in the living room. The three of them were shouting and fully engrossed in the match.

Then, Richelle heard the sound of piano playing from upstairs. Obviously, it was Tifanny practicing the piano in the study.

When he saw her return, Roy stood up and came to meet her.

“You’re back early?”

Richelle nodded, “Master was called away to meet with the city leaders, so I came back to an empty lab.”

Roy sensed her slight disappointment and comforted her.

“Let’s arrange another meeting with her later. At least you got to see your senior brothers and sisters you haven’t met in a while, right?”

Richelle had never told Roy about her life in South Asia, and she was surprised at his comment. Then she remembered that he had fully invested in her master’s new project and must have been familiar with the staff arrangement in the lab.

“Yeah, it’s been a while since I saw them, and I do miss them.”

Richelle’s relationships usually divided into several groups. But no matter the group, there were never any complications.

The group of people in the lab were all simple-minded with the same aspirations, so they got along well, almost like a family.

“Did you not rest at noon? Do you want to take a nap now and have dinner delivered later or eat out?”

Roy noticed the faint shadow under Richelle’s eyes and realized she had not been resting well these past days.

She was probably even more exhausted than him, as she had to take care of the children and their daily needs.

It seemed her master needed her help with some urgent matters as well.

Roy had only heard that she was Sonia Seaton’s favorite disciple before, but he had no substantial understanding of her.

However, since becoming Sonia Seaton’s investment partner, he learned that in every project Sonia had participated in over the past few years, without exception, Richelle’s name ranked right below Sonia’s.

That is to say, although she ranked junior in seniority, her abilities surpassed all her senior brothers and sisters.

That’s why, at first, she didn’t hide her hostility and dislike towards him when he approached Sonia Seaton.

But Sonia was the savior of his whole family, so no matter how she treated him, he would have no complaints.

Besides, her hostility and dislike were mostly because he had hurt her precious disciple’s heart.

Indeed, Richelle felt tired. Upon hearing Roy’s suggestion, she nodded, “Alright, I’ll take a shower and sleep for a bit.”

Roy nodded, “Do you want me to ask Tifanny to stop practicing for now?”

Richelle waved her hand, “No need, I can sleep through it. Just figure out what the children want to eat later – either at home or outside. I’m fine with either option.”

Roy patted her long hair and looked at her with concern.

“Leave the trivial matters to me, just go upstairs and rest.”

Richelle responded and went to the sofa, kissed Timmy and Timothy’s faces and left some instructions before going to her room to take a shower and sleep.

She slept very deeply, and when she woke up, it was already dark outside.

For a moment, she felt bewildered. As she opened her eyes and adapted to the darkness, she recognized the layout and furnishings of her bedroom and remembered that she had returned to her home in South Asia.

The ups and downs of the past few days had left her feeling as if she were in a dream.

After much thought, Richelle confirmed that Roy’s misunderstanding of her running away with the children was not a dream.

Suddenly, a wave of helplessness and frustration surged through her heart.

In the darkness, Richelle sat up in bed, bowed her body, and buried her face in her knees, releasing a long breath.

Either her body was special or something else, but her encounters were always thrilling and incredible.

Richelle calmed herself down in bed for a while andthen managed to suppress her uneasiness and disappointment.

By the time she finished getting dressed and went downstairs, she found all the children wearing clothes for going out. Nathan Caroule was watching a movie with them in the living room.

Obviously, everyone was waiting for her.

Timmy was the first to notice her and rushed over, held her hand, and asked, “Mommy, can we have buffet hot pot? My sisters and brother want to eat it too.”

Richelle nodded, “Sure, have you chosen a place and reserved a seat?”

Roy also came over and looked at her carefully, “Did you sleep well?”

Richelle responded, then asked him, “Did you make reservations?”

“Not yet, I wanted to see what you want to eat first.”

Richelle wasn’t picky about her food, especially when it came to eating with the children. She usually catered to their preferences.

However, the children were always sensible and would sometimes choose food based on her preferences.

“Buffet hot pot sounds good. Let’s go to the usual place that Timothy and Tifanny like. It’s not far, and we can walk there.”

Hot Hotpot was located on the main street outside their villa community, just a few minutes’ walk away.

The three adults took three children, and they all set off for dinner.

The buffet hot pot restaurant was crowded, but it offered a wide variety of food, so even the pickiest eaters could find something they liked here.

By nine o’clock, both adults and children had eaten to their hearts’ content, and they left Hot Hotpot with full bellies.

The family of six leisurely walked back to their home. As soon as they entered the community gate, Richelle’s phone rang.

She picked it up and answered, “Ricky, what’s up?”

“Richelle, something terrible has happened, Master is missing!”
