Thump, thump. Robin knocked on the door of Rosey Chambers.
“Who is it?”
Rosey Chambers opened the door, only to find that it was Robin. A smile immediately bloomed on her face. “You finally came. You haven’t been around for several days. I missed you. Oh, and my grandma has been talking about you too.”
“It has been a few days.”
Robin stepped inside.
In this city, he had nothing to hold onto, except for this silly girl.
A very naive silly girl.
She had a kind of adorable simplicity.
She was somewhat like the little girl in his home. To be honest, he missed Leslie very much right now, extremely much. He missed the scenes where the little girl would rush into his arms, sweetly calling him ‘dad’.
However, home comes after the country.
He had to win this battle before he could go home.
After he returned home, he needed to hold a grand wedding for another silly girl who had been waiting for him for so many years.
As for why he was not staying on the battlefield now, it was mainly because he led the Ghost Wolf Cavalry, and the Ghost Wolf Cavalry had already been dispatched. The new soldiers were left to Maclean. The Dragon Regiment was naturally led by Dragon, and the internal affairs of St. Sunday had been handed over to Evelyn Hall.
So at a glance, it seemed he had nothing to do.
This was what a real leader should do. If they did everything themselves, what would their subordinates be for?
So his current task was to wait.
By the way, to visit this silly girl.
This girl had called him many times.
“Grandma, Robin is here. It’s the big brother who saved you.” Rosey Chambers brought Robin to the bedside, pointed at Robin and introduced him to her grandmother.
In fact, her way of addressing him was not incorrect. Of course, she could also call him ‘uncle’.
After all, Robin’s child was not small.
“Young man, thank you, really thank you so much. I’m an old woman nearing death, yet I’ve caused you such a big trouble. Especially this silly girl, she’s so foolish, often cheated without even knowing it.”
The grandma sighed at Rosey Chambers.
She didn’t know why she had such a naive granddaughter.
“Oh, grandma, I’m not that foolish.”
Rosey Chambers pouted in protest.
“Whether you’re foolish or not, everyone knows.”
Grandma gave Rosey Chambers a glance.
Actually, she also knew that Rosey Chambers was not foolish, but naive, having grown up in the countryside without cunning or too many plots, which gradually shaped her character.
However, she also knew that this kind of character could be disadvantageous when dealing with others.
Then, the grandmother turned to Robin again: “Young man, since you’re friends with my Rosey, could you please teach her a thing or two? This girl’s life hasn’t been easy. Her father was a talented and handsome young man, but after her mother died in childbirth and her father had a car accident, breaking a leg, he had to return to the countryside.”
“He’s been there for the last eighteen years. It’s been hard on this girl. She grew up without a mother, and her father, because of the accident, became reticent and short-tempered. Now, she has to take care of me, an old woman.”
“Rosey, you’ve really worked hard.”
The grandma touched Rosey Chambers’s hair, full of sympathy.
“It’s alright.”
Rosey Chambers shook her head: “I love grandma and grandpa, and I love dad too. Even though he often scolds me, I still like him.”
“He often scolds you?”
Robin somewhat understood why this girl was so timid.
She probably had a traumatic childhood.
“Um, sometimes he would go out to drink, and he would hit me when he came back drunk. But it’s okay, he would come to apologize to me the next day. It’s just that it hurts a bit on the day.” Rosey Chambers said with her head down.
“Ah.”
The grandma sighed, then looked at Robin, waiting for his response.
She knew she didn’t have much time left. All the elderly have this premonition. But her only worry was her foolish granddaughter.
“Okay, Grandma, I promise you,” Robin agreed.
He could’ve denied an old woman on her deathbed her dying wish. After all, it was somewhat of a moral blackmail, but Robin agreed eventually because Rosey Chambers had always been kind to him.
From the start, this girl had a hunch that Robin was Mr. X. It was a bit naive, but she was a top student, just a bit too innocent. She discovered the truth early on but didn’t expose it. Even when the Roach family offered a large bounty.
“Thank you,” the grandmother’s voice was a bit raspy, her eyes filled with relief. “You kids go out and play, no need to stay here with this old woman. I’ll rest for a bit. You young people have your own ways of having fun.”
“Okay, Grandma.”
Rosey Chambers took Robin out with her.
“Have you eaten yet?” Rosey Chambers asked Robin.
“I haven’t had dinner yet,” Robin replied.
“Then let’s go buy some groceries.”
Rosey Chambers grabbed a basket and took Robin out the door. On the street, Rosey Chambers turned and asked, “Why hasn’t that fierce one come?”
“He’s at the city gate,” Robin said and left.
But Jeff Reczek had to stay there. There always needed to be a powerful figure stationed there.
“Oh, then let’s make an extra bento later and bring it to him. It’s been a while since he had my cooking. Last time he praised me, said it was delicious, just a bit fierce, but everything else was good,” Rosey Chambers said, in a daze.
However, at that moment, a car stopped in front of her. A head popped out from inside. It was a woman with makeup, curled hair, and sunglasses, looking quite fashionable. But her words were rather unpleasant.
“Oh, who’s this, Rosey Chambers? Instead of staying in your mountain, what are you doing out here? Or do you think, dressed in these shabby clothes, carrying a broken basket, walking in St. Sunday, it won’t ruin the cityscape?” the woman sneered.
“Hanh.”
Rosey Chambers greeted the woman and continued walking with Robin. But before they could get far, the woman got out of the car, accompanied by two other women. Hanh said, “Why are you running? Did you steal something? Feeling guilty?”
“I didn’t,” Rosey Chambers turned pale and shook her head.
“No? I don’t believe it. I think you definitely stole something. Let me search you. It must be in your clothes. Strip off your clothes, and it’ll come out,” Hanh said with a nasty grin, reaching out to pull at Rosey Chambers’ clothes.
However, Rosey Chambers hid behind Robin, and Robin glared, “Touch her once, and I’ll break your hand.”
