Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 161: Chapter 157 Mommy, This is for Pleasing Oneself

Translator: 549690339

Carrying a deep sense of guilt, Richelle Dunn spent another restless night.

By the next morning, her dark circles under her eyes had become more severe than the day before. Fearful of Roy Lewis noticing anything off, Dunn applied makeup carefully before heading out for breakfast.

Because of last night’s drama topping the search lists, Lewis didn’t want to attract too much attention. So, he simply ordered breakfast to be delivered to their suite in the morning.

Around this time, three adults and three children gathered at the dining table for breakfast.

The three children had a habit of commenting freely on their mommy’s appearance. Seeing Dunn this morning with heavy makeup on, Tifanny was astonished.

After she exclaimed in wonder, she turned to her two brothers and whispered, “I think mommy is dressed up to impress someone…”

She had thought she was whispering, but both Dunn and Lewis caught every word clearly.

Lewis stared at Dunn thoughtfully. But Dunn, preoccupied with eating, seemed completely oblivious to his gaze.

Ignored, Lewis picked up the serving chopsticks and placed a shrimp dumpling into Dunn’s bowl.

“I heard the shrimp dumplings here are uniquely made. Give it a try.”

Dunn barely lifted her head, thanked him in a low voice, and put the shrimp dumpling into her mouth.

Lewis simply thought that Tifanny’s childish talk had embarrassed Dunn. He reached over and tousled Tifanny’s hair, giving her a look that told her to keep quiet.

Tifanny blinked her pretty eyes and gave Mr. Lewis an OK gesture.

But in reality, the words from his daughter did not substantially affect Dunn.

She was just unsure of how to face Lewis.

The things he said last night, could they perhaps be regarded as a confession of love?

Or maybe, he simply admired the bright and adorable Timothy and Tifanny, and was just feeling sorry for their circumstances, which motivated him to be extra nice to them?

Dunn was torn. Lewis was also uneasy.

The discussion about Timothy and Tifanny’s treatment last night had taken him several days of consideration before he decided to talk about it.

He didn’t know about others, but Dunn was a proud individual who, despite his good intentions, might not want him to share her anxieties and sufferings.

His questioning last night was like ripping off the bandage protecting her wounds, forcing her to confront them head-on.

As he anticipated, despite his repeated explanations, she was still reluctant to let him get involved in Timothy and Tifanny’s affairs.

He became impatient and, in his desperation, blurted out something that could be easily misunderstood.

At that moment, Dunn’s face changed drastically.

This morning, she had applied heavy makeup very early, indicating she hadn’t slept well again last night.

Lewis sighed silently, realizing that he had become too anxious and frightened her. Now, he had to coax her gently to get her to come out of her shell.

“So, how are the shrimp dumplings? Anything special?”

Dunn wasn’t a fussy person. Considering Lewis’s attentiveness and her sense of guilt towards him, she felt it was inappropriate to keep expressing her discontent.

Admittedly, she felt more at fault than he did. How could she expect him to indulge her even more!

Having realized this, Dunn lifted her head and smiled at him.

“They are indeed tasty. Can you give me another one? I’d like to study its filling, and maybe try making them myself later.”

Finding her finally smiling, Lewis felt like a huge weight had lifted off his chest.

He promptly took another dumpling and placed it in her bowl.

The children, having received a hint from their dad, didn’t dare to make a sound. Instead, they watched the loving interaction between their parents with wide, star-like eyes.

After finishing breakfast, Dunn went on to perform acupuncture on Lewis as usual.

At ten o’clock, they left the hotel and continued with their visit to the simulation area in the park.

Considering Dunn’s discomfort when commuting in the park yesterday, Lewis specifically called the park’s director to arrange a separate car for them.

The park’s director had also seen the trending topic from last night, and after getting an earful from Nathan Caroule over the phone, he personally arranged a special car to pick them up.

“Mr. Lewis, I sincerely apologize for what happened yesterday. It was our fault for having poor security measures, which caused disturbances for you and your family,” he said.

But Lewis was not an unreasonable man. “It wasn’t your fault,” he said.

But despite Lewis’s words, the park director was not reassured.

“Mr. Lewis, I’ve postponed the simulation area’s bookings for other visitors. You and your family can enjoy yourselves freely. There won’t be a repeat of yesterday’s incident,” he explained. The subtext was that they had cleared the area for his family to enjoy exclusively.

Neither Lewis nor Dunn enjoyed special privileges, but considering the children’s safety and the director’s good intentions, they agreed to his offer.

Without any distractions, the family had a great time in the simulation area. They played until lunch, then had a themed meal in the park, before heading back downtown, having had their fill of fun for the day.

On the way, the tired children fell asleep in the car.

Dunn and Lewis took out their laptops and each got busy with their own work.

After a morning of enjoyable diversion, the awkwardness that was between Dunn and Lewis seemed to be completely gone.

Upon returning to the city, the driver dropped Dunn and her family home first. At Lewis’s request, even Timmy was allowed to stay over. After that, the driver took Lewis to another place.

As he was leaving, Lewis told Dunn, “I have something to take care of tonight and won’t be able to come over for dinner. If you don’t mind, could Timmy stay the night at your place?”

How could Dunn object? She would be glad if the children could stay together every day and night.

She readily agreed, assuming that Lewis had work at the company, and didn’t ask what it was about.

But once Lewis got in the car, Parker drove it straight to the Presidential Palace.

Lewis and his uncle kept in close contact. But as both were busy, they usually communicated via phone or video calls.

Lewis was making a personal visit to his uncle, President Green, today because of a discreet phone call received just before leaving the park.

Since the matter was of great importance and could not be clearly explained over the phone, Lewis decided to pay a personal visit to the Presidential Palace after confirming Green’s whereabouts.

Even though Lewis was the President’s nephew, he still had to go through the standard security protocols guarded by secret service agents at the gate, including checking him and his vehicle thoroughly before allowing entry.

Lewis was a practical man who didn’t mind such details. After entering, he was led by the housekeeper to Green’s study.

Upon carefully closing the door, his first sentence after taking a seat was, “Uncle, Jayden Dunn has gone to see Mason Lilliput!”
