Antonio's eyes suddenly widened. A bizarre, almost unthinkable idea occurred to him.

‘Perhaps Mr. Robin had missed Mrs. Poppy?’

BANG!

The loud bang of the door hitting the table next to the door silenced Antonio's prejudice.

Robin opened the door to Poppy's room, but his wife was not there. Only Donna was there, cleaning the furniture.

“Mr. Robin, are you looking for Mrs. Poppy?” Donna asked in surprise, adjusting her clothes as soon as she realized Robin's presence.

“Do I look like I'm looking for you?” Robin snapped.

“No, sir...” Donna stared at the floor, too afraid to look at Robin. “Mrs. Poppy is in the back garden with—”

Robin took a step toward where his wife was instead of waiting for Donna to finish answering. He needed to reassure his wife that he had never been attracted to her so he wouldn't be bothered by his mistake again.

‘What I did was a temporary lust, a man's instinct, because I wanted to have a child as soon as possible.’

    Antonio, like Poppy, was getting restless as he looked at his watch. He had the urge to drag Robin, who had done or said nothing and stood like an unbreakable statue.“Don't you want to join us for lunch?” Alice finally broke the awkward atmosphere.Robin immediately sat cross-legged on the carpet, leaving Antonio stunned, while Poppy moved over to avoid getting too close to her husband. He responded so quickly to Alice's invitation, as if he had been expecting her all along.“I promised your parents that I would take care of you. That doesn't mean I'm happy sitting in this filthy place.”Robin intended to show that he only wanted to please his acquaintance's daughter. He was indirectly stating that he did not want to sit next to his wife.Poppy, on the other hand, just picked up a handkerchief and didn't seem to care. Then she extended her handkerchief to him.“Use this for covering your seat and keep your pants clean... Robin.” She said, pretending to be considerate of her husband.

    “What nonsense did you just say?” Robin felt bad for raising his voice, but he didn't think his words were wrong.He hoped Alice would soon be able to live independently. He didn't hate her. He just wanted to teach her not to rely on others.Robin, after all, was not her parent. He also has a risky business that will most likely involve those around him. Alice would be safer if she pretended not to know him after graduating from high school, unless he had inherited all of her grandfather's assets.“Do you want to run away from home with my wife?” Robin also stood up, as he disliked looking up at other people.His comment about his wife was not a mistake. Even if he was dissatisfied with her or disliked her, that didn't mean they could leave whenever they wanted.She had not given birth to her child yet!“Are you sure my wife wants to go with you?” Robin challenged. Of course, he was confident that his wife would not leave him. They were still bound by the terms of their contract.Popp

    Robin had decided to help Poppy recover from her trauma and had no intention of replacing her with another woman. After much deliberation, he concluded that remarrying to inherit power from his grandfather would complicate matters even further.However, Poppy chose Alice over him. Hah! Robin could not help but laugh to himself.‘You can't get away from me so easily!’Robin walked confidently as he left her behind. He seemed to enjoy her surprised expression so much that he forgot he needed to go to the office.“Do you know anything about the painting?” Poppy ran into Robin again. “Please tell me, Mr. Robin, who sold that painting.”Her fear of Robin Luciano was equal to her curiosity about her family. She had the audacity to pull Robin's arm to stop him, her gaze attempting to meet his eyes straight ahead.But Robin kept walking. “I’m very busy. I have a crucial meeting at the office. Don’t get in my way!”“Mr. Robin, please tell me everything you know!” Poppy exclaimed in front of Ro

    “Why didn't you inform me before coming here?” asked Robin, attempting to distract from Dante's question.Robin was certain that Dante had only heard his last conversation with Poppy after analyzing Dante's question. If Dante had truly understood the situation, he wouldn't have asked.“You should be at the office right now! And I have no obligation to report any of my activities to you!” Dante pointed his walking stick directly at Robin's face. “Did you fool me by hiring this woman to be your wife?!”“Grandpa, what nonsense are you saying? Why would I marry and complicate my life just to fool you?” Robin responded as he removed the walking stick from in front of his face.Dante squinted, not seeming to believe his grandson at all. “So you admit that your life is complicated because you pretended to be married?”Robin gave a harsh sigh. “Yes, being married complicates my life, but I do not pretend to be married to her. If you don't believe me, I can show you my marriage certificate.”“

    “How can I not be angry when she causes a delay in an important meeting with you?”Robin was reluctant to argue with his grandfather. After all, he was late to the meeting because of her. He didn't think Dante would be upset with her because they weren't close enough. It didn't matter if he used her as a scapegoat. Besides, he was pretty upset that she was starting to turn against him.“No, Grandpa! He is lying! I never stopped him from going to the office! He came himself and sat down, interrupting my fun!” This time, she was telling the truth and expressing her feelings. She was even more terrified when she saw Dante's hardened expression and didn't want to arouse his rage.Robin laughed in disbelief. The woman, who had always acted like a cornered and helpless little mouse, dared to accuse him in front of his grandfather.“Well, you're very good at talking!” Dante looked at each of them in turn. Their interaction resembled a fight between a husband and wife.Was his hunch incorrect

    “Poppy, I have good news for you!” Rafael exclaimed, knocking on the door.Poppy hurriedly opened the door, intending to tell him to leave. Robin would definitely accuse her again if he saw her talking to Rafael, especially in front of her room, which raised suspicions.“Rafael, this is not the right time to talk.”“No, you must listen to me! I just found out who sold that painting!” Rafael pointed with his eyes at the painting in her room.She was suddenly transfixed, staring at Rafael. “Really? Who's that?”She tried to stay calm so as not to appear suspicious for being so interested in the painting. Her composure was quickly lost when she noticed Robin approaching from a distance.Robin's expression was cold and angry. Was he angry because of the previous incident or because she was speaking with Rafael?“We will talk later, Rafael. I don't want Robin to misunderstand you ever again.” Poppy spoke as if she was worried about Rafael and Robin's relationship getting worse, but she was

    Robin seemed to be implying that Poppy should not trust Rafael. Even though he didn't say it clearly or explain why, she got the impression that he was warning her this time rather than threatening her.‘Rafael is really nice to me. He was also quite helpful. Is it because Mr. Robin doesn't get along with Rafael that he despises him and has negative thoughts about him?’“If you mistrust someone and let them destroy my plan, I will make sure you regret it.” Robin threatened this time.Poppy gulped hard. His words are truly correct. Rafael mentioned her surname previously. He also stated that he would investigate a woman named Mrs. Valentine, whom she was certain was her stepmother.‘Rafael shouldn’t find out about my background. I'd better ask Mr. Robin for help before the situation worsens because my true identity has been revealed.’ Poppy made up her mind.“I will ask the same question. What were you and Rafael talking about earlier?” Robin's voice is quieter, but it feels pressing.
