Jay dug out the CCTV recordings of Tourmaline Estate to find that Baby Robbie had snuck out of the estate during the rainy night. He guessed that Baby Robbie must have returned to Exuberant City to look for his mommy, thus he immediately called Rose. The phone rang, but nobody answered it.
Jay was feeling uneasy without any news about Baby Robbie. He took along Josephine and Jenson who were both equally worried for Baby Robbie and rushed back into the city center.
After a whole night of drizzle that washed away the dust and grim of a bustling city, the surroundings looked much more vivid and beautiful.
When dawn broke, Rose heard the security door being banged a few times. She frowned in alertness. She walked over to the door to see Baby Robbie who looked like he was in a pitiful predicament. He was covered in mud and standing in front of her. Rose was dumbfounded.
"Baby Robbie, what happened?"
Baby Robbie’s eyes become bloodshot as he sniffled. H e had convinced himself to not cry and not let Rose worry about him, but when he saw his mommy, all that hidden hurt and pain came tumbling down. He leaped into his mommy’s arms and wailed his heart out.
"Mommy, Daddy doesn't love me anymore," Baby Robbie cried out hurtfully in between sobs.
Rose was very much shocked at the revelation.
'If Jay did not love Baby Robbie, he would not be going through all the hoops to compete for Baby Robbie's custody with me.'
"Baby Robbie, tell Mommy what happened." Rose gently wiped Baby Robbie's tears away and cleaned off the mud from his face. Her heart was aching badly. Her son had always been a happy-go-lucky boy. He was with his daddy for just two days before he came back searching for Mommy, looking all sad and pitiful. Something extremely unhappy must have happened.
Baby Robbie hugged Mommy's neck tightly and said i n between sobs, "Mommy, I'm sorry. I've caused big trouble. I accidentally broke all the porcelains inside Jenson's castle. Daddy seemed quite angry and punished me to clean up the room, but he did not say anything about forgiving me.”
Rose carefully listened to the child's explanation, trying to keep herself calm. She needed to be unbiased when analyzing the facts that happened in the conflict between the son and father.
