Chapter 642 This Way, You'll Distract Me!

"Stop right there!" Catherine shouted, growing more frustrated as she stamped her foot

Robin paused. "Catherine, why do you keep following me? I've already told you, the Draconite is nothing more than mist gathered over the Peach Blossom Pool

"I don't have the Draconite you're after, so stop wasting your time!"

"When did I say I was following you for the Draconite?" Catherine muttered, clearly displeased.

Then what are you looking for me for?" Robin shook his head.

"Why can't I look for you?" Catherine's eyes flashed with a rare hint of hurt.noveldrama

"After all, we've fought together as comrades. If you can be with these women, why can't I be with you?"

Vera quickly caught on. It seemed like yet another of Robin's admirers.

"Sigh! What a hopeless romantic!" Vera muttered under her breath, glancing at Robin. No wonder her heroic companion was so popular.

Robin ignored Catherine and gave Vera, who was still visibly nervous, a light pat. "Let's go. Drive me to Brookhaven Residence.

"My comrade's sister, Annie, just bought a new place in that neighborhood."

Vera glanced over at the fuming Catherine. "What about Ms. McKay?"

"Don't worry about her: just let her be." Robin said, getting into Vera's car.

"Robin!" Catherine stomped her foot in frustration. Just wait, you won't get away!"

As she watched the Porsche disappear into the distance, a sly, mysterious smile appeared on her flawless- face, her eyes glinting with something calculating. "Hmph, Brookhaven Residence? I know a shortcut! You think you can get away? We'll see that."

Then, she hopped into her BMW SUV and sped off in another direction.

On the way to Brookhaven Residence, Vera's smile gradually faded, replaced by a trace of concern in her

eyes.

Robin glanced at her. "You mentioned earlier that you had something to ask me. What's going on Has your Silva Group run into some trouble lately?"

"The Silva Group's business has been doing well. But recently. I received a letter from my grandmother in Brighton

"She's hosting a celebration for her 80th birthday on the 20th of next month.

"She invited me to come to the capital and attend her birthday party at the Lynches's place.

Chapter 642 This Way. You'll Distract Me!

"This situation is troubling me.

"My mother always warned me to stay away from the Lynches of Brighton

"Yet, she also said that, out of everyone in the Lynches, only my grandmother ever treated her with kindness. "When my grandfather found out about my mother's marriage, he was furious and kicked her out of the Lynches. "At that time, my mother had nothing-no money, no support.

"It was my grandmother who gave my mother five million, which allowed her to start her business in Harmonfield. "When the Lynches found out, they tried everything to block and sabotage her efforts.

"It was only because my grandmother stepped in that they stopped causing trouble for my mother.

"But after my useless father betrayed my mother, my grandmother severed ties with us and stopped reaching out.

"After my mother passed away, I had no more dealings with them.

"A while ago, Jamie tried to take over Silva Group, but it was you who stopped him from succeeding.

Then, when Jamie sent assassins after me. you placed people around me to protect me. and because of that, he failed.

"Robin, you've been so good to me.

"My life hit rock bottom after my mother and brother gone. It wasn't until I met you that I found hope. "If you hadn't come into my life. I might have ended up like a stray dog, trampled by everyone. "Everything I have now is because of you. Robin, thank you.

"Whatever happens, I will follow you for the rest of my life."

Vera slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Robin.

Today, I'm finally telling you what's in my heart. I want you to know that all the carelessness, indifference. and fake smiles I put on before were just masks to hide the pain and helplessness inside "Ever since you came into my life. I've never had to hide behind a false facade again. Robin. I always be with you."

Robin looked at her, her eyes full of tears, and fell silent for a long while.

Sigh. Everyone has their own share of suffering in life.

ho hasn't struggled through their past?

He took a deep breath and gave Vera a light pat on the head. "A few days apart, and you're already getting sentimental. Stop with the sad talk, or I might start believing it."

Vera playfully punched Robin in the chest, her tears giving way to a smile.

"I just wanted to be a little sentimental, to make you feel something, to... to act a little spoiled, you know? Why did you have to interrupt me? You completely ruined the moment I was trying to create. Annoying!" Vera threw her hands up in frustration, then leaned her head on Robin's shoulder. "Robin, I really wish we could stay like this forever"

Robin shrugged. "Alright, let's get back to business. If you keep this up, you'll distract me!"

"Eh?" Vera took a deep breath. "Oh, I wouldn't dream of distracting you. I won't do it again."

Robin gently helped Vera smooth out her disheveled hair. "Whether you should go to your grandmother's 80th birthday celebration, just follow your heart. It's not a big deal.

"Go with what your heart tells you.

"Life's too short to worry about the little things. Don't stress over it."

Vera nodded and started the car, heading toward Brookhaven Residence. "I'll contact you if I go to Brighton."

"Alright. If you need anything, or if the Lynches give you any trouble, just let me know. If the whole d'mn family turns out to be like that idi't Jarnie, I'll take them all down for you." Vera nodded, a happy smile spreading across her face.

Ten minutes later, she drove up to Brookhaven Residence.

As she entered the parking lot, she suddenly froze.

"Robin, look! Do you see who that is?"

In front of the parking lot gate, Catherine was leaning against her BMW SUV, swaying to the music from her portable player.

"How does she keep showing up like this?" Robin muttered, clearly frustrated.

Vera chuckled. "Robin, I can tell, Ms. McKay has definitely taken a liking to you."

Robin made a face. "I can't stand that spoiled, domineering, borderline reclusive princess."

Vera parked the car and walked over with Robin.

As they passed Catherine, Robin purposely acted like he didn't notice her.

"Hey, didn't you see me?" Catherine quickly pulled off her headphones and called after him.
