When Georgia walked up to the second floor, she saw Robert standing in the middle of the second floor's living room.
He stood by the window as he silently looked outside, Georgia could only see his back figure.
Georgia thought about last time, she had ever walked out of that place without any hesitation.
Robert had ever said that she would regret it and come back to beg him... What he said was true, and thus Georgia silently kneeled down.
Robert actually heard the sound of Georgia's footsteps, he thought that she'd come over and ask him what actually happened or ask him for help.
But there was no movement for at all for quite some time, so Robert turned around and saw that Georgia was already kneeling not far from him.
Georgia was very thin, she silently kneeled with lonely and miserable expression on her face... Robert's heart suddenly ached.
“Why are you kneeling? You haven't even begged me yet.”
Robert said that as he walked to Georgia, he then stretched his hand to grab Georgia's arm, wanting to pull her up.
Georgia knew that but she waved her hand and refused instead.
“I'm afraid that you won't say yes if I'm not kneeling down.”
Georgia really had no other way, her daughter was missing, Travis was also in a huge distress, and even Vanessa was not in a good condition at that time.
Everything was too hard for her to handle by herself.
Meanwhile, Robert, the man in front of her eyes, was the only person she could beg.
Robert tried a few times to pull Georgia up again, but Georgia persisted on kneeling down.
Robert was helpless so he finally spoke.
“First of all, you should say what you want me to help you with, right?”
Georgia lifted her head with eyes full of tears, her voice was trembling and hoarse.
“I have told you about my daughter that went missing, I’m begging you, please help me find my daughter... There's also another problem, Travis is now in a mental hospital, he's hospitalized today because he got beaten up, he's injured very badly, can you save him?”
Georgia finished talking nervously, she didn't even dare to breath heavily, in case Robert got angry and said no to her.
Since they knew each other, there were too many problems had been happening between them. Georgia didn't even have the guts to guarantee that he'd say yes.
Robert didn't immediately say yes to help her but asked another question instead.
“Travis is a retard now but you're still standing by his side, I heard that he's your first love, don't tell me that you still love him?”
Georgia felt that Robert's question was quite strange and she didn't really understand it.
“Is that question very important?” asked Georgia.
Robert just silently looked at the woman in front of him.
He was thinking of how he should handle it if she had deep feelings for Travis?
Being kind to his love rival was something he couldn't do.
“It's very important, I need you to answer this question honestly... If you lie to me, I'll make you pay the price.”
When Robert said the last sentence, his voice sounded cold.
Georgia suddenly felt oppressed, which made her couldn’t help being afraid of him.
After thinking for some time, Georgia briefly talked about her and Travis.
“Travis has no close relative, I’m the only person in this world that can take care of him and he depends on me... If I don't take care of him then there's no one else in this world that can do so. As for the feelings between us, that's a matter of more than ten years ago.”
“He has been going through a hard time over the years, I've encountered even more problems over the years, how could there still be love between us?”
Georgia didn't tell the details, she had been suppressed by the pain of life for a long time... She completely had no one to depend on and love was just a beautiful fantasy.
Georgia didn’t understand the importance of being simple and pure when she was young. She now realized at her age that what she needed was someone she could rely on and make her feel at ease.
Seeing Georgia's expression and listening to her denial of loving Travis, Robert suddenly felt happy in the heart.
It turned out that she took care of Travis because she was kind and not because of love, that made Robert feel very satisfied in the heart.
But that wasn't enough, far from enough...
He wanted everything, but things like getting a woman's heart weren't easy, he could only do it slowly.
“I got it, I can help you find your daughter back and let Travis live in a better place... But he has the record of murder so I can't completely set him free for the time being.”
Georgia was already very thankful for him to do it to such extent.
As long as Travis wouldn't get beaten up again and could live in peace, she’d already be so grateful.
“Robert, letting him live in a safe place is enough.”
After Georgia said that, Robert said, “Do you still remember what I said last time? I’ll help you and you’ll become my woman. From now on, you're staying here.”
Georgia suddenly raised her head and looked up at Robert.
“Are you serious?”
Georgia didn't understand why he would ask her to be his woman.
