Chapter 814: 810: Dr. Dunn, Are You Taking the Bait?
Chapter 814: Chapter 810: Dr. Dunn, Are You Taking the Bait?
That very evening, someone posted a video on a university forum featuring Roy Lewis playing a shoot-and-score game with his three children on his back.
Of course, the kids’ faces were all pixelated.
But Roy Lewis’s was not.
That post quickly garnered thousands of comments.
Some were swooning over Roy Lewis, while others were gushing over the three kids.
Later, the video was shared on other online platforms, and by half-past eleven…
#ActingPresidentisaSportsChampion shot up from the tenth spot to the third on the top search by midnight at a blistering pace.
Richelle Dunn noticed the trending topic while she was scrolling through the gossip section, a bedtime ritual.
“Tsk, I thought I was just snooping around, but look who’s the hot topic now.”
Roy Lewis, fresh out of the shower, climbed into bed while drying his hair and asked,
“Why would I be involved? I’m swamped with work all day, where would I find gossip?” He assumed Richelle was joking.
“Have a look for yourself!”
Richelle shoved her iPad in front of him.
Roy took a glance, “Oh, I guess it is my show!”
Upon seeing the trending topic, he immediately understood what it was about.
That’s why he seemed so relaxed about it.
They both started to watch the video, and Richelle watched it in full seriousness for a few minutes.
“Whew, I must say, my husband is so handsome!”
As her husband was indeed quite handsome, there was a tumult of comments below the video.
Herbal Soap: “Handsome President, I want to have your baby!”
MissingRings: “Honey, you look so handsome!”
MountainTiger: “These average guys need to see what a real man is like. At least like Mr. President here — smart, handsome, and fit. And his athleticism is top-notch. Only a man like that can truly be called a real man!”
CloudDrifter:”Wake up, people. If that’s the standard for a real man, there probably aren’t many left in the Federation!”
WindowFlower: “Not a few, there is only one! In my personal opinion, Mr. President has set the bar for all men!”
…
Richelle quickly scanned dozens of comments.
Finished, she turned to Roy and asked,
“So? Isn’t your ego all puffed up now?”
Roy was confused, “Puffed up? Just because I’m a topic of dinner-table gossip now?”
Though he never minded such things, he definitely did not enjoy them.
He was always a highly confident man and thus didn’t need to find satisfaction or build his confidence from these senseless, exaggerated comments meant to attract attention.
Richelle harrumphed.
“Well, I’m extremely upset!”
Only then did Roy realize… Richelle was jealous! He broke into a triumphant grin. “Baby, are you jealous?”
Richelle gave him a look, “Yes, I am jealous! It’s all your fault for being so irresistibly handsome, with your broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. Who are you trying to seduce, huh?”
Roy blinked innocently before leaning in to plant a quick kiss on her lips.
“I’m trying to lure you, Dr. Dunn. Are you taking the bait?”
Richelle harrumphed, then turned her face away, picked up her iPad, and directly shared the video with her large following.
Then she added this caption:
Richelle Dunn: This real man— the ultimate man, happens to be my legally wedded husband! Don’t yearn! Don’t bother!
Roy watched her quickly type the words and press send.
Unable to contain himself, he grabbed her face and started showering her with kisses. “Wifey, I love you!”
After sharing the post, Richelle threw the iPad away and hauled Roy’s face over, speaking ominously.
“Roy Lewis, listen to me. If you dare mess around with any woman, I’ll neuter you!”
Roy raised his hands in surrender, laughing, “Darling, please, I wouldn’t dare!”
Clearly, being wedded to a doctor came with its own set of life-threatening risks!
…
By the next morning, Richelle’s repost had received almost US$ 13,700 retweets.
And #GoldenCoupleStandard topped the trending list the next morning. Clicking on the tag led to Richelle’s bold declaration!
Meanwhile, last night’s #ActingPresidentisaSportsChampion ranked second.
Richelle, having made her assertive declaration, didn’t bother to check her post after.
Because after that, she exercised her rights as Roy’s legal wife… by exercising half the night away.
The next morning, she overslept by half an hour.
After a hurried breakfast, she rushed over to the military hospital.
When Maggie Mitchell saw her, she gave Richelle a thumbs-up, grinning from ear to ear.
Richelle was initially puzzled.
“Auntie, what’s with the thumbs-up this early in the morning?”
When Maggie realized that Richelle truly had no clue, she asked her,
“Richelle, did you get drunk last night?”
Richelle was even more confused now, “No, I usually don’t drink on workdays.”
Maggie had no choice but to speak bluntly, “Then, the declaration you posted on social media from your verified account, didn’t you do it? Was it a hack?”
Only then did Richelle remember the content of the post she had uploaded. She thought about it for a moment, then felt her face warm.
