Richelle Dunn didn’t know how long she stared at the photo on the computer screen. She only knew that the brightness of the computer screen was probably a bit too strong.
It prickled, causing her eyes to ache.
Before Roy Lewis, Richelle had never been in a relationship.
Ever since she sensed Roy’s feelings for her, he had always given her a strong sense of security.
She had a hunch that the current sensation of a painful ache in her eyes and chest, and her heart clenching was called jealousy.
But she didn’t know if this jealousy was normal.
After all, those photos were at least a decade old.
Ten years ago, not only did she not know Roy, but even if she did, she’d only be an underage girl.
She didn’t even qualify to be his girlfriend, so where did she get the nerve to be jealous?
Yet despite her rational mind constantly reminding her, she was still angry!
Angry that he had recklessly thrown himself into soone else’s arms before eting her.
Angry that he had easily embraced another woman before waiting for her.
This anger was inexplicably overbearing and unreasonable.
Yet sohow, she spent half the day unable to use her wisdom and tolerance to calm this anger.
She did a quick check on the identity of the sender and found it to be Sherrina Kingston, a doctoral graduate from a foreign university.
And the IP address of her email was the Lewis Group.
So, was Sherrina an employee of the Lewis Group? And was this email a declaration of war?
Deep down, Richelle knew that even if Sherrina and Roy had sothing going on, it must have been in the past.
Now, at most, Sherrina only had one-sided feelings for Roy that had yet to fade.
Richelle’s head was a ss from the pictures and information, and her phone rang. It was her master.
“Master, what’s up?”
In the evening, Roy again declined Sherrina’s invitation and rushed ho ten minutes before dinner ti.
Usually at this ti, there were two adults and three children in the living room.
But today, there was only his grandfather playing with the three children.
“Where’s Richelle?”
The three children said in unison, “Mommy went back to South Asia!”
Although he didn’t want to admit it, Roy had a serious ntal block about the phrase “back to South Asia.”
His heart skipped a beat, and a thought flashed through his mind, “Did Richelle really run away again?”
However, what he asked aloud was, “Why did she go back to South Asia again? Did sothing happen?”
Fearing the children wouldn’t be able to explain clearly, the old man took over.
“It’s like this, Richelle received a call from her master saying there’s an urgent mission that she had to go back for.”
The old man produced a small note out of nowhere, “Here, this is the note Richelle left for you.”
With a mix of doubt and belief, Roy accepted the note. On it was Richelle’s hurried, vigorous handwriting, obviously written in a hurry.
“I have an urgent mission in South Asia, with an indefinite return date. Take care of the children and yourself! -Richelle Dunn.”
Roy read the note, unlocked his phone, and checked if he had missed any ssages from her due to his busy schedule.
However, whether on WhatsApp or text ssages, there was not a word from her.
On the contrary, Sherrina had just sent him another WhatsApp ssage.
“Roy, I didn’t have ti to catch up during the day, how about eting at the usual place tonight?”
Roy couldn’t help but frown, pondering whether or not to block her. In the end, he muted her ssages.
His mood turned irritable for no reason, “Grandpa, you take the children to dinner first. I’ll make a call to find out about Richelle’s situation.”
The old man waved his hand in understanding, “Go ahead, but don’t talk too long, the food will get cold and it’s bad for your stomach.”
Roy took a few steps and then turned back to ask his grandfather, “Was it our driver who took her to the airport?”
The old man shook his head, “No, the Federation sent a special car and plane to pick her up.”
The additional information from the old man eased Roy’s anxiety a bit.
It seed that the urgent mission was real!
However, there was still an uneasy feeling and a trace of worry in Roy’s heart.
He didn’t understand where this uneasiness and worry ca from, so he dialed Richelle’s number.
A cold voice ca through the receiver, “The phone you dialed is turned off. Please try again later.”
Roy frowned, tried calling Sonia Seaton, and received the sa “turned off” prompt.
Roy flipped through his notebook and found the phone number for Sonia’s lab.
This ti, soone finally picked up.
“Hello, I’m Roy Lewis, Richelle Dunn’s boyfriend. Is she back at the lab?”
After asking the person on the other end to wait, a man’s voice ca through, “Mr. Lewis, hello. Richelle and her master have taken on an urgent mission and are not in the lab.”
“Did Master Seaton reveal any approximate location or return date?”
The man was silent for a while. Roy guessed that so information was confidential, but he felt that as an important family mber, he had the right to know so vague details.
“The children and I are very worried about her. It would be comforting to know that she’s safe and won’t be threatened.”
The man on the other end pondered, and Roy patiently waited.
Finally, he received a reply.
“Mr. Lewis, watch the international news tonight and you should understand..”
