Thinking of this, Robin felt a headache coming. She had always been diligent and responsible at work. How did she get involved with such a playboy? No matter how she looked at it, she felt that she had been at a disadvantage. Moreover, she was certain that Terence had misunderstood her. Seeing Terence coming out of Angevin's Place, Tyler took Jean's hand and said softly, "Let's go." Jean saw that Robin was doing fine by herself, so she waved to her and left with Tyler. After Jean and Tyler left, Robin sighed and said to the chauffeur, "Come with me. My car is parked down the road." She walked ahead while rubbing her forehead. She had drunk too hastily today. Now, she felt a burning sensation in her stomach and slight dizziness. Robin handed her car keys to the chauffeur standing behind her. An elegant hand received them, making her stunned momentarily. She raised her head and froze immediately. "Mr. Weiss …" An awkward expression appeared on Robin's fac
Terence stepped into the car and sat beside Robin. She felt a sense of oppression, which made her feel uncomfortable. "Drive." With Terence's instruction, the driver immediately set off toward The Iris Indigo. Robin was so nervous that she didn't notice this detail. Terence clearly did not tell the driver where to go, but he knew. Since taking on the role of chief secretary at Larson Group, Robin had hosted many VIPs and interacted with numerous distinguished guests. However, she had never felt this nervous before. Terence was quiet during the entire ride. After taking deep breaths to calm her emotions, Robin looked at Terence and said with a smile, "Mr. Weiss, you mentioned earlier that you had some work-related matters to discuss." Terence glanced at Robin and said calmly, "I've forgotten about it." She was stunned. Because she drank hastily today, Robin's face was a little flushed now. Plus, her heart had been racing, making her face unusually crimson. Robin
Terence looked at Robin for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. "Well, you can go." Robin hesitated for a moment and then smiled awkwardly. "Please excuse me." Terence remained seated, his expression unchanged. At this time, the driver got out of the car. Robin sat stiffly. Now, it was just her and Terence in the car. She bit her lip lightly and hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Weiss, is there something you want to say to me?" Terence looked at her expressionlessly and spoke in a calm tone, "I thought you had something to say to me." Robin looked somewhat puzzled. She took a deep breath and then said hesitantly, "Mr. Weiss, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused at work. I'll be more careful when dealing with Weiss Group's projects in the future. I promise not to create any more problems." She felt that Terence probably didn't want to discuss anything other than work-related matters between them. Besides work, she couldn't think of any other common topics that th
Terence asked the question as if it were the most natural thing. His gaze was fixed on Robin.A sudden tension gripped Robin, causing her to freeze in place.Terence was aware of Robin's feelings for him.She couldn't shake the thought that maybe she had been too transparent.Earlier, alcohol had made her mind foggy. But now, Terence's words helped her become clear-headed again.She understood Terence's personality well.If she admitted her feelings and got turned down, it might affect her job.Robin was usually calm and collected at work. Yet, blending emotions with her professional life could make even her ideal job a cause of worry.In the end, it could push her to the edge of losing her sanity.Gathering her thoughts, Robin took a deep breath and looked Terence in the eye."Mr. Weiss, are you ... thinking about marriage?"Terence frowned at the question and shook his head."No."His answer relieved Robin.Maintaining a calm demeanor, she looked at Terence and said wit
Tyler's physique was the kind that would captivate any woman's gaze endlessly.Yet, the daily intensity of it all was becoming a bit overwhelming.Concern clouded Jean's expression. She pondered whether Tyler's body could handle the strain. After all, he was still in the recovery phase, and excessive exercise was not advisable."No," Jean reassured with a gentle tone, her cheeks slightly tinged with red as she met Tyler's eyes."I'm just worried about your well-being. With the colder weather settling in, I'm afraid you might catch a cold," she added.She was also worried that her nose might start bleeding if things kept going like this for too long.Jean wore a shy smile as she spoke. During their conversation, she showed her concern for Tyler. She stood up from the couch and got a coat to drape over his shoulders.Watching her actions, Tyler couldn't help but smile."You used to dream of seeing this. Now that I've made your wish come true, aren't you eager to see it again? W
Tyler thought of telling Jean about this so that she wouldn't be too anxious the next time she saw Joyce.That was why he told Jean about this beforehand. However, just hearing Joyce's name terrified her. "Don't be afraid, it's fine. I'm here." Jean slowly calmed down with Tyler's consoling words. "Is she the one you were supposed to marry back then?"Seeing that Jean was so adamant about knowing the answer, Tyler kissed her forehead."We weren't in any sort of relationship. It was just a contractual marriage at the time. Jean, believe me when I say that I'm very grateful that we met each other by a twist of fate. "I hope you understand that you're the only one in my heart. You're my wife and the mother of my child. I hope you won't run away from me because of this matter."When Jean heard that, a bout of nervousness hit her."Alright," she said softly.Nodding her head solemnly, she looked deeply into Tyler's eyes."I'll muster the courage to stand by your side
When Tyler saw that, he quickly supported her. "Don't move."Jean lay down on the bed once more, feeling disoriented."I feel dizzy," she said. Hearing this, Tyler immediately got up and massaged her forehead. Right then, they heard Dorian knock on the door. "Come in." Dorian entered the room after he heard Tyler's voice. He walked over to Jean's bedside and cast her a worried glance. "Mom, do you feel better now?" When Jean heard Dorian's voice, she opened her eyes slowly. Her gaze fell on the child, and when she saw his anxious face, she pinched his cheek gently. "I'm alright. Don't worry too much."Dorian nodded his head earnestly and held Jean's hands tightly. "Mom, please get better soon." Jean did not know why she suddenly ran a high fever. She nodded, though she still looked weak. Tyler continued to massage Jean's forehead gently, making her feel sleepy. Coleen did not go out today and stayed home to make some oatmeal for Jean. When
Jean nodded as she watched Coleen step out of the bedroom. She felt Coleen had been quite busy lately. She was curious, but she did not put too much thought into it. While she lay back down on the bed, Tyler massaged her forehead once more and comforted her, "Rest a bit longer. I'll wake you up when it's lunchtime." Jean nodded and hugged Tyler tightly. She then asked in a soft voice, "Will you be here with me?" Nodding, Tyler answered, "Of course."Jean was assured after hearing Tyler's reply.When Tyler saw how tightly Jean was hugging his arm, he smiled. … At the hospital, Lilian noticed that a helper from Larson Residence came in Coleen's stead today. Feeling puzzled, she called Coleen."Aunt Coleen, did something urgent happen? I notice that you didn't make a visit today." When Coleen heard Lilian's voice, her gaze darkened as she replied, "I've hired a caregiver to look after you from today onward. In the future, I'll only come if I have the time."
Even though Lukas was now back together with her, Jenny could clearly feel that their relationship could never return to the way it had been in the past. After spending some time with Lukas, Jenny felt that Lukas' heart no longer belonged to her.Once Conner and Robin were done packing up Alina's belongings at the hospital, they made their way to Robin's car. Robin drove them to her apartment. Upon seeing where they were heading, Conner said to Robin softly, "Roo, I won't be going back to your apartment."Upon hearing this, Robin looked confused. Before she could ask why, Conner added softly, "I want to return to Swiree."Robin was taken aback for a moment. Then, she replied, "Dad, you really don't need to rush back home."Conner had already sold the family business in Swiree when Alina was hospitalized in Henkel. As such, Robin had not expected to hear Conner tell her that he wanted to return to Swiree."Just stay here," Robin said.Upon hearing that, Conner sighed softly and
After Alina passed away, her body was taken to the funeral home the next morning.Alina had instructed Conner to keep her funeral simple after her death.After Alina was hospitalized, Conner showed her a grave site according to her wishes.A van from the funeral home came to the hospital the next morning to take Alina's body to the funeral home.Upon hearing the news, Jean and Tyler rushed to the hospital and accompanied Robin there.On the way to the funeral home, Tyler tried to call Terence. However, Terence did not answer.Tyler had to call Wilson to inform Terence of what had happened.Only a handful of relatives and friends attended the funeral to pay their respects to Alina.With Jean and Tyler's help, Alina's funeral wasn't much trouble to set up.Terence received the news of Alina's death in the afternoon. Only then did he rush to the funeral home.When Terence arrived, Alina's remains had already been cremated and placed in an urn.He walked over to Robin. When he s
Robin's call managed to go through, but no one answered her call even after a long while.Robin gradually tightened the grip she had on her phone. She tried to maintain her composure while holding the phone.After what seemed like ages, Terence finally answered her call."Roo, why are you still up?"Terence's gentle voice came through in the end. His tone was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.Upon hearing his voice, Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Terence had ended up answering her call, she supposed there weren't any problems to worry about."Yeah, I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm still—"Robin was about to tell Terence that she was still at the hospital.However, Terence quickly interjected, "I'm still at the hospital now."Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. Her heart quivered in fear for a moment.She suddenly felt insecure.Robin hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "Is Ms. Blake not doing well?"Robi
Robin's response was in no way problematic.From her response, it was clear how cautious and serious she was when dealing with matters of the heart.Brian sighed and looked at Robin deeply.However, Robin deliberately avoided Brian's gaze at this moment.She didn't want him to waste his time on her. Robin certainly didn't want Brian's friendship with Terence to be negatively affected because of her.Seeing that Robin was deliberately avoiding his gaze, Brian curled his lips into a small smile and said softly, "You don't need to be so wary of me. I'm not going to force you to help me."I'm glad to see that you're going steady with Terence. I'm looking forward to attending your guys' wedding."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips lightly. She let out a calm smile and replied, "Well, then you'll have to spend quite some time waiting."Brian turned to look at Robin. He had a tender expression on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I know Terence very well. I'm certain he'll marr
Robin couldn't help looking surprised upon seeing Brian dressed in formal attire. He looked somewhat weary."Mr. Collins," Robin greeted.Brian nodded slightly in response and walked over to her side.He whispered, "I heard that Aunt Alina isn't doing very well, so I came to check on you guys. Don't be too upset if you can help it."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. She replied in a soft voice, "I already expected this to happen, so I'm not too upset by it. I just feel a bit helpless at the moment."Although Robin had already anticipated this outcome, she couldn't change it.Robin sighed as a hint of grief filled her eyes.Brian walked over to sit beside her. His tone was gentle as he said, "Death is inevitable for everyone, after all. People either die from old age or sickness. Try to take it easy."Aunt Alina probably wouldn't want you to be so upset either."Robin nodded and turned her gaze toward Brian. When she noticed that was wearing a suit, she asked, "Where we
During her conversation with Alina, Robin had already tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She did not expect Alina to get so worked up.Robin simply didn't want Alina to use her past as an example to educate Robin.After all, everybody was living a different life.Robin would never settle for second best.Robin sat quietly as the doctor continued talking. But she didn't hear a word he said. Noticing Robin's low spirits, Conner said softly to her after the doctor left, "Roo, don't burden yourself with all this. This day was bound to come sooner or later."Although Conner was trying to comfort Robin, his voice was hoarse and contained a hint of melancholy that he failed to conceal.Robin took a deep breath. With her reddened, teary eyes, she told Conner, "I shouldn't have argued with her knowing she was sick. With her current state, it's my fault that I insisted on my point."Conner sighed with a hint of helplessness in his expression. He avoided Robin's eyes and
Robin took a deep breath and said softly, "Don't worry about Chandler. Terence will handle it."After all, Chandler raised Terence like a son despite not being blood-related. The bond between them was too strong for Terence to ignore."Just focus on getting better."Alina went silent for a while. Robin chose not to say anything further either.She wanted to end the discussion in Alina's silence. But to her surprise, Alina uttered hesitantly after a long pause, "No, Terence will not care about Chandler."If Terence helps Chandler out, Weiss Group will face setbacks. Terence prioritizes his interests above all else. He won't care about Chandler. I…"Robin watched Alina getting worked up as she continued talking. Robin couldn't help but feel bad.However, she couldn't pinpoint her feelings. Did she feel bad because after all these years, Alina still cared about Chandler? Or was it because Conner's effort was being overlooked by Alina?Even though Chandler was her biological father
Conner had been working tirelessly to take care of the family. Even now that Alina fell ill, he cared for her selflessly."I should go back and check on your mom. If not, she'll wake up and find herself alone."Robin felt bad watching Conner's silhouette. She and Conner went back to the ward together. Sure enough, Alina was already awake.Robin sat on the couch and felt a mix of emotions as she watched Conner care for Alina devotedly.Alina had finished her medicine for the day, and Conner needed to get her the newly prescribed medicine from the pharmacy. So, Robin stayed back to keep Alina company.Robin kept her gaze fixed on Alina's weary face and asked softly, "Mom, do you want me to end up like you?"Alina paused for a moment after listening to Robin as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. Clearly, she did not understand the meaning of Robin's words.Robin took a deep breath to control her own emotions and continued softly, "I was referring to finding a man who takes
Terence was waiting at a traffic light, so his surroundings were noisy. As Robin's voice was very soft, Terence couldn't quite make out what she was saying. "I'm heading to the hospital to check on her now. How are things with your mom?" Terence repeated his question to Robin again. Robin went silent. She had already decided to be with Terence, and he had also publicly clarified that nothing was happening between him and Monica. So, it would be childish of her to ask the question again because he had already made things clear. Robin's lips were pressed together, and her expression had reverted back to normal. She said, "She's fine here. Don't worry about it." She then murmured softly under her breath, "I'll call you back later. Drive safely." As soon as she finished talking, she immediately ended the call. Terence didn't give it much thought after Robin ended the call. He turned the engine on and drove off to the hospital to visit Monica. Robin stood in the cor
