After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach
"Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village
One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel
"Give me that fish!" A woman exclaimed in an unfriendly voice. She pointed to a large fish in front of her.Richard standing behind the table, picked up the fish and gave it to the woman as she had asked. However, when Richard gave it to her, she gave him an exasperated look and looked like she was about to curse. The woman wrinkled her face and then her hand moved to gesture. "Cut the fish into four pieces, don't you understand?" She grumbled. "What kind of fishmonger are you? Just don't know."Richard took the woman in stride. He quickly corrected his mistake. "Fine, I'll cut it for you." His calm voice did not affect the woman's temperament.There are not one or two people who come to that place with an annoying temperament like that woman. They are even worse than her. But Richard served all his customers calmly. He was quite patient and level-headed, and because of that, he could withstand the harsh and rough market conditions.Richard went about his usual activities at the fish
The man immediately hugged Jasmine tightly, and Jasmine returned the hug. It was different when Richard hugged her. The woman looked comfortable.Richard's gaze rounded staring at the two. He did not accept the man's treatment and tried to break away from their embrace. "What are you doing in front of me?"Jasmine let go of Richard's hand, holding her wrist forcefully. She looked at Richard who was bothering her. "What are you doing?" Jasmine snapped back at Richard.The man named Edward smiled as Jasmine snapped at Richard. He felt happy to see Richard being treated as insignificant. That means Jasmine is in a higher position than Richard.Richard turned his gaze to Jasmine. He gave her a sharp look. "That man hugged you in front of me." Richard tried to calm down. "He shouldn't hug a married woman before her husband."Edward covered his mouth. He leaned over and laughed at Richard. "Her husband? Is a man like you worthy of being called her husband?" The man spoke provocatively.Edwa
"Please, Master." Smith opened the door of the Roll Royce he had brought to pick up Richard.After ensuring Richard got in, Smith immediately headed for the passenger door at the front. After Jasmine kicked him out, Richard immediately contacted Smith to pick him up.Smith's face looked excited. He glanced at Richard several times. "I'm glad you decided to come back, sir."Richard turned to him flatly. He did not respond to Smith's words and just looked at him."So, is sir going back to the Marrison family now?" He asked him. Smith noticed the look on Richard's face.The Marrison family that Smith mentioned was prominent in Zesna with their immense wealth. Richard was the heir of the Marrison family. But a few years ago, he decided to live under Richard Dawson because he wanted a genuine relationship and to be seen as just him and not the heir to the wealthy Marrison family.During his search for someone who genuinely accepted him for who he was, Richard met Jasmine. The relationship
"We have prepared all the food here according to your taste, Master." Smith had his notes on his master, which helped him prepare everything for Richard well and systematically.There were various types of dishes that Richard's favorite seemed to be served there, but Richard only chose a small portion for him to enjoy and left the others intact. He did not have much appetite at the moment."Then find out what Jasmine and the man named Edward Brown are up to." Richard gave him more specific orders."Yes, Master. I'll do that right away." Smith got up from there. Then he contacted someone on his phone. The conversation between them went on for not too long. After hanging up, Smith returned to stand beside Richard. "From the information I got, today Jasmine will meet with Edward Brown at a jewelry store, Master."Richard paused for a moment. He seemed to be thinking. "Jewelry store?" Richard made a small murmur.Smith nodded his head. "Correct, Master." He could hear Richard's mumbling du
"That's impossible!" Jasmine screamed as she pointed at Richard with her forefinger. She then quickly turned to the two waiters who served them earlier. "It must be fake!"Edward looked at the black card that Richard showed him with a frivolous look. "You are poor. How could someone like you have a black card?" He laughed contemptuously at Richard, his eyes looking him up and down. "Don't make things up and embarrass yourself in public."Jasmine gave him a fierce look. "A poor person like you pretending to be rich in front of me who knows you. It must not be a real black card." Jasmine snorted.Although Jasmine said so, she seemed to look intently at the card. Her eyes locked there curiously. "Is it a black card?" Jasmine's mind moved quickly to stretch out her hand and try to grab the card to look at it. But Richard, who realized it first, pulled her hand away, thwarting Jasmine's attempt.Richard tilted his head to look at Jasmine. "What are you doing?" He looked at Jasmine flatly.
