Semua Bab If I were Yours: Bab 1041 - Bab 1050

Robin had never spoken to her mother in such a tone before. Upon seeing her mother's slightly surprised expression, Robin instantly realized that she was in the wrong."Roo, am I pushing you too hard?" Alina asked. She was also somewhat at a loss when she saw how irritated Robin looked.Robin had always been a very independent and rational person. Alina had almost always respected all of Robin's decisions since she was a child. It was only this time that she was intervening in her personal affairs. It was because of her excessive worry and fear. However, she didn't expect that her actions would end up hurting Robin.Alina didn't want such a trivial matter to affect their mother-daughter relationship. As such, she looked at Robin nervously.Robin felt discomforted. She looked at Alina for a moment and took a deep breath to steady her emotions.Then, she replied softly, "No. Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me recently. I've become unusually irritable. Mom, I'm really sorry.

Terence nodded slightly. When he noticed Robin's weary expression, he couldn't help but frown.Alina had originally intended to just see Robin off at the door, but upon seeing Terence, she wanted to walk her daughter downstairs herself.After taking a few steps outside, Robin stopped and said in a low voice, "Mom, it's pretty cold out. You're not dressed warm enough. It'd be best if you head back inside."Hearing that, Alina could only retract her steps.Robin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Alina no longer intended to follow her.As she stepped into the elevator, Terence followed suit.Neither of them said anything to each other in the elevator.In the end, Terence was the one to break the silence.He said in a deep voice, "Robin, have you honestly decided to be with Lukas?"Robin lifted her head and looked calmly at Terence, who was beside her.She replied in a calm tone, "My parents are discussing the engagement. We just haven't chosen the date yet. When the ti

Monica harbored a particular dislike toward Melanie at the moment.Melanie hadn't done anything in Terence's office except serve guest coffee and tea, yet her salary was on par with theirs.Another thing about Melanie was that she was not capable of reading the room. It felt as if she didn't understand the ways of the world.Melanie bent down to pick up the broken glass on the floor. She looked a little embarrassed as she said, "Ms. Blake, you haven't done anything to offend me, and I you. Why are you making things difficult for me?"Melanie's expression morphed into one of anxiety. After picking up the broken glass shards from the floor, she immediately returned to the pantry to brew more coffee.If she delayed too long and Robin left, then her sister's condition would worsen even further.When Monica saw Melanie head to the pantry just like that, her expression turned dark. She walked over and snatched the mugs from Melanie. She said in a cold tone, "Ms. Matthias, let me clear

After returning to the Angevin branch, Robin did not leave the office.Just as it was time to clock out, Sylvia brought in the day's report to Robin's office.Robin skimmed the document for a moment. Once she confirmed that everything was correct, she signed it."I'm going to leave a little earlier today. My parents are in Henkel, so I need to head back home early to keep them company. If any issues arise later on, just give me a call," Robin said.Sylvia nodded upon hearing that. She watched as Robin picked up her bag and walked out of the office. Then, she tidied up Robin's office before following suit.On her way back, Robin received a call from Jean."Ms. Michaels."Robin immediately answered Jean's call. She did not dare to delay doing so.Jean's voice was gentle on the other end. Her reply was immediate."Ms. Sage, do you have some free time tomorrow? I want to go shopping at the mall. You've helped us out so much during my wedding with Tyler. I haven't gotten the chance

Since Lukas was no longer at home, Robin found an excuse to leave after sitting around for a while.Alina and Conner also got up and left as well.Alice had a huge smile plastered on her face as she saw them off downstairs.After Robin walked out of the apartment complex, she got into her car's driver seat and waited for her parents to settle into their seats before saying softly, "Didn't you guys say that Mr. Jenkins couldn't drive because he drank? I saw his car parked there earlier, but it's not there now."Seeing as Lukas' car was gone, it clearly indicated that Lukas had driven off earlier.Upon hearing Robin's words, Conner's expression immediately turned solemn. He quickly said to Alina, "Why don't you call him and ask about what's happened? He can't drive after drinking. Why did he leave in his car just like that? What could possibly warrant such urgency?"Hearing that, Robin didn't start the car. She quietly waited for further explanation.After all, if it was an emerge
