Chapter 1779

Alyssa cast a doubtful glance at them, “What’s up with you two? Strangers now?”

Robin snapped back to reality, forcing an awkward smile, “Mother, what brings you here?”

“What? I can’t see my own son now?”

Robin pursed his lips. “I’m happy to see you, mother”

Alyssa sighed inwardly. Her son could sometimes be too serious, not the type to handle jokes well. “Tve finally

managed to divorce. Came over to celebrate with a meal “c2

Robin took a moment, glancing at the expressionless Royce, then back at his mother’s demeanor from start to

finish. She seemed oblivious to the recent happenings. He relaxed a little upon realizing this, quickly saying, ‘I’ll

have the cooks prepare something right away.”

“No need I’ll cook today and prepare the dishes you used to love”

Robin looked surprised, unable to believe what his mother just said. ‘No, no need

“Don’t worry I won’t make it too spicy I guess with age, tastes change the most

“But your health.

“I know my limits “Hannah gave him a reassuring nod and guided Alyssa inside

Robin stood there looking at Royce, lips moving but no words forming

Royce merely held Elizabeth close, giving him an indifferent look before entering the house.

Robin stood outside for a moment longer before following them in His wife had grown accustomed to life in Hong

Kong and had returned there after just a few days here He had been busy with work and had been living alone. The

villa was large but simply furnished. Most of his time was spent at Harper’s Mansion Sometimes he even stayed

overnight at the office so the house rarely felt lively

Alyssa looked around, feeling a pang of sympathy Elizabeth was also surprised by his living conditions

Though Robin always kept his concerns to himself, his intentions were not hard to figure out. Since he had the

intention to fight for the Harper family it was surprising to see him leading such a simple life

“What are you thinking? You are a Harper after all. Why live so frugally? Alyssa was displeased with his current

state, “We work hard to earn money so we can enjoy life You’re at an age where you should be enjoying life. We

spend the first half of our lives working for ourselves, the second half for our kids. Your kids are doing great, your

life should be fulfilled. You need to let go of whatever’s troubling you”

Alyssa was blunt, but her words were somewhat subtle. He was a man after all, and she worried that being too

harsh might hurt his pride

Robin merely nodded. “You’re night, Mother As long as the kids are happy I should be content”

“Glad you understand it’s not too late”

The living room fell silent for a moment. Not just Alyssa, even Elizabeth sensed the unusual atmosphere “What’s

wrong? Why the long face now? Is something bothering you?”

Robin shook his head. “No.”

Alyssa was a bit upset. Even if there was, you probably wouldn’t tell me. I’ll head to the kitchen. You two brothers

should catch up.”

Robin tightened his lips. “Take care, Mother”

Elizabeth was still puzzled, but she followed Alyssa to the kitchen to help

Royce sat on the sofa Robin sat in a chair beside him, brewed the coffee and pushed the cup in front of Royce

Royce’s expression was indifferent as he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Im sorry for everything it was a while before Robin spoke.

Royce didn’t respond The atmosphere in the room was frosty

After a few minutes, Royce finished his tea. He stood up and said, “Let’s go for a walk.”

Robin put down his cup and followed silently

They walked along the covered walkway towards a garden, surrounded by several small buildings.

“Have you sorted everything out? Royce asked

“There’s nothing to sort out. I don’t want to make a scene.

“You’re not going to handle it, then? Have you thought about what you’re going to tell our mother? And your wife,

your son, how will you explain to them? Do you really think disappearing without a trace is a good solution? Or do

you think that since you’re going to jail, it doesn’t matter what happens to them?”

“Of course not Robin was silent for a moment before he finally said, “I’ll tell them I’m going on a business trip,

expanding the Harper family’s market. A few years should suffice When when Mother passes, I’ll tell my wife”

“After Mother passes Royce muttered

They reached the park, surrounded by neatly arranged pines and cypresses. Even in the harsh winter, they were

lush and green.

Robin nodded. “From now on, please take care of Father and Mother You and Elizabeth should settle down. And I

hope you and Damon can keep this from Travis He’s at a crucial stage of his life I don’t want to ruin his life’s

efforts.”

Royce stopped abruptly, turning to look at him with icy gazes “You realize what you’ve done could ruin your son’s

life?”

Robin kept silent. Suddenly, he felt a punch to his face, causing him to stumble and finally fall to the ground.

He looked up at Royce. He had never seen his brother, who always kept his emotions in check, so angry

His anger was palpable, it was more than just being irate. The cold emanating from him was almost lethal

“I’m sorry”

Royce stepped towards him, grabbing his collar and pulling him up before landing another punch in his stomach. Tell

me, what exactly have you done? And think about whether your apology deserves a response”

A punch to Robins gut had him crumpling in pain, his face contorted in a grimace with a thin trail of blood trickling

from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were rimmed red

the pained expression on his face unmistakable

“I’m sorry”

“Smack!”

Another punch landed on his stomach, “Why can’t you just talk to me about your grievances? You want control of

the company? I can relinquish it. You want to prove yourself? I could give you opportunities! But do you really need

to msort to such underhanded tactics? You even got involved with the royal family of country and that’s quite a

feat! Just for the sake of the company you disregarded the lives of others. Even towards me, you showed no mercy

atrocious actions?

“Have you ever thought about the consequences when everything comes to light? How are Mom and Dad supposed

to live with this? You asked me to take care of them. Do you think you have the right to say these words “”

Robin closed his eyes tightly “Other than Tm sorry I have nothing else to say Royce, I’m sorry”

Robin was punched to the ground once again.

Tm only hiding this for the sake of our parents and Travis Letting him take the blame for your misdeeds ruining the

life he butt from scratch, it’s simply not worth it You almost destroyed your own son’s life for your own selfish

desires Robin, you truly deserve to die Royce said furiously, coldly standing them and straightening his clothes

Robin wiped the blood from his mouth and slowly rose from the ground, clutching his stomach

Both men fell silent with Royce leaving first after straightening his clothes

Robin remained standing gathering his bearings for a moment before following Royce with a slight stumble

When they returned to the living room, Elizabeth was standing there Seeing Royce, she stepped forward clearly

displeased. “Where have you guys teen? ) just prepared some snacks, and when I turned around, you were

nowhere to be found”

Before she could finish, Elizabeth’s gaze fell on Robin who had just come in Even though most of Royce’s punches

landed on Robin’s stomach, the first punch had landed on his face. At the moment, half of Robin’s face was visibly

bruised and swollen

She glanced at Royce her eyes asking what had happened. In their family, only Royce would dare to lay a hand on

Robin, However, Royce simply took her arm and led her away his face taut and his expression clearly not good

Robin asked a maid for some ice before heading back to his bedroom alone. He sat by the bed, silently applying the

ice to his face. His gaze was foxed on a certain spot. unblinking, his mind seemingly blank It was hard to tell what

he was thinking

It wasn’t until a maid knocked on his door to tell him dinner was ready that he rose opened the door, and went

downstairs

Although the swelling on his face had subsided, it hadn’t completely disappeared. The bruised area was still quite

noticeable

Alyssa immediately noticed the wound on his face. She glanced at Royce but didn’t say anything Instead she picked

up some of Robin’s favourite food and put it on fisi plate “Here, try this I made it with less salt. As we age, we

should eat less salt. Eating light is good.”

When it came to her own son, Alyssa couldn’t help but nag a little. After all, they weren’t young anymore, and she

sincerely hoped that they would all live long thes

Robin took a bite

“How is it Alyssa asked expectantly

Robin nodded. ‘Its delicious*

Alyssa beamed in relief. Then eat more.

in no time his plate was overflowing with food

He had lived for so many years, and he knew that no excuse could justify an emotional outburst at that moment. As

he stuffed his mouth with the food that he loved, swallowed down the lump of regret gratitude, guilt, and reluctance

that surged up his throat

All the things that truly mattered in life were right in front of him, bringing him a sense of happiness far greater

than owning the Harper family fortune.

And he had lost it all From then on, he would never have it again.

“Eat slowly Royce. Elizabeth, you too, slow down Don’t compete with your brother”

Elizabeth pouted” “Youre clearly favoring him it’s a rare occasion that you’re cooking and it’s so delicious. If we

don’t seize the chance to eat more, wust we be

“Fine: You eat! If it’s not enough. I’ll cook more ”

Only then did Elizabeth smile happily. I help you later

Facing the current Elizabeth, Robin was still surprised He was starting to understand why his mother had been so

protective of her

If his future daughter–in–law would be as sweet and cheerful as her he would also like her. He didn’t blame his

mother for paying more attention to her apud fugit, i wan natural but he never knew that in private, his sister in law

had such a personality

The Elizabeth he had seen before seemed just like a regular, dignified upper class lady, reserved and seldom

smaling.

Robin continued eating until the table was almost cleared Alyssa couldn’t bear to watch anymore. “You’re a grown

man. Cant you tell when you he you haven’t eaten in ages

Robin took a deep breath, “Mom, I just I wanted to prove myself. Recently, the company has been facing numerous

Chapter 1779

With just a few simple sentences, Alyssa couldn’t help but feel a bit teary. She looked at Robin, and tears welled up

in her eyes. “Do you think our divorce shamed you, and that’s why you want to distance yourself from us?”

“No…

“Then why? Travis has his own life, and he’s so accomplished. He wouldn’t care about idle gossip. Even if your

reputation isn’t the best, you’re still the head of the Harper Group. Those people have no right to judge you. Why do

you always make things so hard for yourself? How many more years do you think I have? Can’t you just stay by my

side?”

Robin swallowed hard, his eyes stinging with unshed tears. ‘Mom, I’m truly sorry”

Tears finally fell from Alyssa’s eyes. “You all make me worry so much Can’t you just stay?”

Robin stayed silent, but his brother Royce interjected, “Mom, Robin has his own life. What we see as fulfillment may

not meet his standards. We shouldn’t interfere too much in his life”

Alyssa didn’t respond, just let the tears roll down her cheeks
