"You don't have to explain, nor do you need to cry," Robert said with cold indifference. "In the past, you... she would never do this. You wouldn’t cry or show weakness so easily."
Exactly. The Linda Linda of the past had always been strong and resilient.
That was what he admired most about her. But now, the only thing Linda Linda exuded was pain and a growing distance from him.
"Big brother, if you forgive me, I won’t cry..." Linda murmured, her voice laced with grief as if bargaining with him.
Robert’s brow furrowed slightly. "Linda Linda, that’s not the point." His gaze locked onto hers, his eyes filled with a quiet intensity. "In the future, I'll arrange a new place for you. There will be a beautiful house and delicious food..."
"I don't want that!" Linda’s eyes widened in shock as she interrupted him, her panic becoming palpable.
She knew exactly what Robert was implying—he wanted her to leave Williams Court. He wanted her out of his life.
