My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 200

Richard and Amy went back to their villa and lived a peaceful life, leaving the other Carters behind who wouldn't change their mind and wanted nothing good for the couple anyway.

"Amy, buy something for dad and something good. And you can go there first. I'll join you after work." Richard walked to Amy's office and said to her.

"Alright, I am planning on buying him some clothes. I'll skip work then and take him shopping this afternoon." Amy replied. Today was Stephen's birthday. Amy had been occupied with too many things lately and had no time to pay him a visit. She couldn't miss this chance today.

After the heart surgery, Stephen recovered very well and had been living a full life. He ran in the morning, took a walk in the park and practiced Tai Chi every day. He was quite busy and got healthier.

When Amy called him for the shopping, he refused right away but agreed later because Amy was very persistent. Moreover, he thought it was a good thing that Amy cared about him.

Stephen prepared for the dinner first thing in the morning. He bought everything he needed and put the stew on the burner.

As soon as Amy entered the house, she smelled the stew. "Dad, what are you stewing? It smells good." Amy sniffled.

"Your favorite. Small intestine. I'm simmering it over low heat. It'll be just perfect by dinner." Stephen pointed at the crockpot and said to Amy.

"Wow, I miss your cooking. Dad, I love you. You always remember what I love to eat, but I haven't done much for you." Amy felt like crying as she spoke. Ever since her mother left, Stephen had been both a father and a mother to her. And the years had wrinkled his face.

"Silly, don't be sad. I'm only fifty, not very old. I haven't even been a grandfather. You two can start working on it." Stephen patted Amy on the shoulder.

"Okay, sure." Amy nodded. She turned around and wiped away her tears while Stephen wasn't looking.

"Let's go, Dad. We're going shopping for a long time. You have to be prepared." Amy turned to Stephen, looking lively again.

Stephen looked at his daughter, feeling sorrowful. Though she was born a business talent, Stephen wanted for her a simpler and more peaceful life.

The father and daughter arrived at the mall. Amy wanted to buy some clothes for her father. His clothes were all a bit old, but he didn't want to throw away any of them. Amy knew that Stephen didn't want her to spend too much on him. But how could she not? It had cost Stephen too much to raise her up, she was just repaying him, now that she was capable.

"This is so expensive." Stephen looked at the five-figure price and didn't really want it.

"Dad, you're already fifty. Carpe diem! This T-shirt looks nice on you, so does this pair of trousers, I'll take them both." Amy had the salesman cut off the tags.

"Alright, but I'd better take them off. I have to cook later." Stephen's heart ached in such expensive clothes.

"Plenty of time till then. Keep them on. You can change at home." Stephen was a handsome man, and now even more handsome in his new clothes.
