Roxie liked Baby Robbie, but she kept her love for him silent. Meanwhile, the way Whitney liked Jens was vigorous. Hence, Whitney was able to understand Roxie’s feelings. She sympathized with her and said," Roxie, Robbie's character is like the sun. He’s so kind t o every girl. It must be very hard for you to like him, right?"
Roxie shook her head. "I don’t think you know Baby Robbie well enough, Sis-in-law. Robbie's always resistant when it comes to love. He knows that the sisters like him, and he still takes care of us meticulously. But his love for us is like family affection. It's definitely not that kind of love."
After a brief pause, Roxie smiled bitterly. "Everyone has a strong psychological trauma regarding the military intelligence division, and Robbie is no exception. When he was there, he lost his ability to love that way."
Whitney was shocked. The Baby Robbie Roxie was talking about and the Robbie she knew were two completely different versions. If what Roxie said were true, the dark side of Baby Robbie’s heart had not been revealed to her. The trauma hidden in his heart might have had a profound impact on him.
"Roxie, can you tell me why Robbie has lost the ability t o love?"
Roxie looked at her arm that was dark as coal, and she thought to herself that she might not be able to survive this poisoning.
She began to unreservedly confide in Whitney and share the thoughts she had kept to herself for many years. "I know that everything you do will be in Robbie’s best interest from now on, Sis-in-law, so I'm going to tell you these things. Truthfully, when Robbie was in the military intelligence division, he liked our eldest sister. However, our Sis Daisy was under Monster's manipulation, so her kindness toward Robbie was simply to utilize him. At the time, Robbie was young and relied on Sis Daisy very much.
Ultimately, Daisy received a command from Monster t o kill Baby Robbie.”
Whitney was utterly shocked when she heard this." How big of an impact could that have had on Baby Robbie?"
Roxie nodded. "If Sis Daisy had actually tried to kill him, perhaps things would've turned out better.
Robbie would merely think that he fell for the wrong person and would gradually forget about Sis Daisy. But Sis Daisy didn't kill him in the end, so don’t you think that was an even greater psychological torment for Robbie?”
Whitney lamented. "Truly. Baby Robbie must be living in conflict and suffering for the past few years. Sis Daisy's feelings for him were so complicated, and it's difficult to tell whether they were genuine or not. If it were a false friendship, she still ultimately violated Monster's instructions and spared Robbie’s life. However, if she had truly liked him, then as the eldest sister in the military intelligence division, she must have been looking for a way to help Robbie escape from that place. Perhaps she stood firmly on Robbie’s side to defend him against Monster.”
Roxie said, "Exactly. Even us sisters have no clue if Sis Daisy treated Robbie well because she was carrying out Monster's order or if she was beating Monster at his own game to protect Baby Robbie.”
Roxie said in frustration, "It just so happened that Robbie was too young at the time and relied on Sis Daisy very much.”
Whitney grew silent.
She could not imagine how much Robbie had suffered in such a cruel environment at that time.
Roxie suddenly thought of something else and suddenly smiled at her. "Sis-in-law, even though I like Robbie, I also know that I'm not worthy of him. Therefore, I hope that in the future, there’ll be an innocent and pure good girl who loves Robbie wholeheartedly like how you love Jens. I hope that she’s able to understand Robbie’s emotions.”
Whitney said, "Won't you get jealous?”
Roxie said, "I'll be sad, but not jealous. As long as someone treats him well, I’ll be grateful to her."
