Chapter 291 Help Her, Robin
"Shoo! Nothing is going on between us!" Robin playfully swatted Brenda on the head.
"Quit messing around, or I'll punch you!"
Brenda pouted. "Stop it! I'm not a kid anymore. Don't hit my head!"
Robin chuckled. "Maybe I'll stop if you behave."
Marrisa sat beside them and chimed in, "Robin, Brenda does have a point.

"That girl seemed really sweet. Since you're both here in Terenova, why don't you date and marry her?"
"Oh, come on-what are you two going on about?" Robin made a face.
"I just happened to meet her once in Draconia and that's all! How did we jump to marriage?
"What's going on in your mind, Marrisa?"
Marrisa gave him a mock glare. "You're old enough to have a girlfriend, you know?
"Since you're taking Brenda to the Terenova Film Festival tonight, I'm going with you to check things out.
"When the time comes, I'll have a little talk with Ms. Dickinson.
"If neither of you is willing to break the ice, I'll do it for you!"
Robin sighed, unable to shake her.
"I'll take you both if you're that eager to see the festival.noveldrama
"But if you're going just to bring this up with Ivy, then you'd better stay here!"
Marrisa's face softened as she pretended to give in. "Alright, alright, I won't say a thing. Let's just go and see the festival, okay?"
She winked at Brenda as they headed into the kitchen together.
"Brenda, it'd be perfect if Robin could marry a lovely girl like Ivy!
"Let's make sure we bring it up tonight!"
Brenda nodded. "Yes, let's do it, Marrisa!"
Robin spent the day helping Marrisa and Brenda at the shop.
Business was unusually lively, with a steady stream of customers coming in one after another.
It was already late afternoon by the time they finally had a break.
Tue,

Marrisa breathed a sigh of relief, smiling fondly at Robin and Brenda.
"This has been the happiest day at the shop that I can remember! ex 69%

"Robin, I'm coming with you to the Terenova Film Festival. I want a night off too-plus, I'll take the chance to speak with Ivy."
Robin shook his head. "Here we go again. Do as you please; as long as you're happy, but it won't change anything.
"Go ahead and dress up. We'll be heading out soon."
She disappeared upstairs and returned with a dress from ten years ago.
"Robin, can I wear this to the festival?"
Robin grinned. "Of course-it looks great on you."
Then, he handed her a debit card. "Here, take this. There's 300,000 dollars in this."
Marrisa's eyes widened in shock. "Robin, what..."
It's winnings from Hugh's casino then. It's yours now."
Marrisa hesitated, but Robin insisted, "Will you take it or not? If not, I'll just gamble it away again!"
"Fine, brat. I'll take it!" Marrisa accepted it with a smile.
"I'll keep it for your wedding."
"Are you wearing that, Marrisa?" Brenda asked, glancing at her outfit.
Marrisa looked self-conscious. "It's the nicest thing I have, and Robin said it's just fine."
Robin gave Brenda a look, signaling her to drop it.
Brenda wanted to tell Marrisa that her dress was too tacky for the film festival, but she decided to remain silent at Robin's disapproving look.
The three of them flagged down a cab and set off toward the Terenova Film City.
Brenda chattered excitedly the whole way.
As they passed Crescent Lane, Robin glanced toward Dreamscape Bar.
Its familiar silhouette glowed warmly in the sunset.
But the scene was marred by a group of rowdy young men shoving a young woman nearby.
Robin felt a pang in his chest as he recognized her.
Anna.
Since the Harlows had their downfall, Anna had lost everything.

This scene looked just like something out of seven years ago.

Robin wanted to ignore her, but as their cab drew closer, Anna's eyes met his, and they lit up with a glimmer of hope.
She didn't call out his name, and Robin kept his gaze lowered.
A hint of sadness flickered in his eyes.
Brenda noticed everything and she said, "Robin, you should help her...
Robin sighed and finally picked up his phone. "Conrad, there's a gang of thugs outside Dreamscape Bar.
"Go there and give them a proper beating.
"And tell Darren-if Dreamscape needs a server, give Anna a spot. But don't let her know I had anything to do with it."
When he hung up, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.
The sunset seven years ago flashed through his mind.
The golden sky.
The lost and helpless girl.
The floral dress and her bob.
The images got more blurry as time went by.
