Chapter 809: 805: Do What You Love
Richelle Dunn was leaning against the bed, holding an iPad and looking at something.
Roy went to wash up, and when he came back, Richelle was still sitting in the same position.
“What are you watching?”
Roy climbed next to her and put his arm around her shoulder.
Richelle leaned into his embrace, “I thought we could watch a movie together.”
Roy felt a surge of guilt.
“I’m sorry, it’s been so long, and I don’t think we’ve even seen a movie together.”
Richelle didn’t mind, “What’s there to apologize for? It’s not like you’re the only one who’s busy.”
Fortunately, Richelle was just as busy as he was, so she didn’t have time to complain about Roy.
Even if Roy had time to take her to a movie or on a date, she might not have time to accompany him.
Roy felt comforted, lowered his head, and kissed her fragrant hair.
“When we’re not so busy in the future, let’s slowly make up for what we’ve missed.”
Richelle tilted her head up and kissed his chin.
“Deal. In the meantime, I’ll write down the places I want to go and the things I want to do but haven’t been able to. When we’re not so busy, you can accompany me to the places I haven’t been and do the things I haven’t done.”
Roy gently sucked on her lips as a heartfelt response to her words.
It had been several days since the two had been intimate, and as they kissed, they found it hard to part.
Eventually, they separated.
Richelle looked at him with eyes shimmering with moisture, “What movie do you want to watch?”
Roy rested his forehead against hers, “Whatever you want to watch, I’ll be with you.”
Richelle opened an animated film, “I want to watch this one, are you OK with that?”
Roy was a bit surprised, “Do you usually like watching cartoons?”
Richelle would actually watch anything, but she didn’t have much time to spare.
“I’m fine with anything. This cartoon is a favorite of the three kids, so I wanted to watch it.”
Richelle had always been close to the children’s hearts.
It wasn’t natural.
Rather, she was always trying to consider things from their perspective and communicate with them.
And to be able to do that, she occasionally needed to understand what they liked and loved.
“We should definitely watch it, then.”
The movie began with a small black cat.
The black cat ran through the forest, with a large area of trees being felled behind it.
In the end, the black cat had no place to live and was forced to enter the bustling human world.
After that, the journey of the cat and humans, from initial mutual loathing to ultimate harmony, began.
Despite being a cartoon, both adults found it engaging and didn’t talk much during the film, until the end credits.
“Are cartoons so interesting these days?”
Richelle felt that the cartoon had refreshed her perceptions, “Yes, no wonder the kids love it so much.”
“It’s a relaxing movie, not boring, and even has some educational and moral value. It’s quite good.”
After praising the movie, Roy suddenly felt something was off.
“Wait, Richelle, are you trying to tell me something?”
Richelle laughed.
“As expected, I can’t hide anything from you.”
Roy tapped her head, “What is it? Just say it.”
Richelle began to explain.
“I have a friend who wants to make an animated film, but because it’s not popular, they can’t get any funding. So I thought about becoming an investor.”
Roy clicked his tongue, “You can decide on your own for things like this. You don’t have to put in so much effort to tell me!”
Richelle didn’t think so, though.
“No, that won’t do. Property is joint property, and investment should be agreed upon. Moreover, I should let you know in advance that this investment might leave us with nothing.”
Roy had been with Richelle for so long and often felt that he never gave her anything.
Money, she could earn herself.
Fame and status, she could win through her abilities.
So sometimes, when he wanted to satisfy his vanity as a man, he couldn’t.
Now, however, was a perfect opportunity.
“Go ahead and invest. Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter if we lose one, ten, or a hundred times – as long as you’re happy with it.”
Richelle patted his face, clicking her tongue.
“Rich dummy!”
Roy laughed and replied, “Dummy then, as long as you like it.”
Richelle hooked her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and gave his lips a light bite.
“Get ready, because when I lose all our money, we’ll have to eat salted fish and cabbage together.”
Roy held her waist and laid her down on the bed.
“I don’t mind eating salted fish and cabbage, as long as I’m eating it with you!”
His deep eyes gazed at Richelle with affection.
Richelle felt like she was lost in the depths of his gaze, hooked his neck, and dragged him down.
Whispering in his ear, “Salted fish and cabbage is too plain. Occasionally, I need something more… carnal.”
Roy held her tight, “Baby, as you command!”
