Baby Robbie had always been able to speak eloquently. He could also pry out secrets from the smallest things. Zayne's wishful thoughts instantly crumbled from Baby Robbie’s words.
Baby Robbie continued, "Uncle, when the time comes, Aunt Josie will be able to find a kind man who loves her and pampers her, but there may not be such a warm and kind lady out there who's willing to marry you, a man who has no sense of responsibility. Oh, you’d have your new flame, but since she's someone who destroyed another person's family, she'd be labeled as a mistress. I don't know how strong her mental state is, but how long can she last before she falls into depression and jumps off the building?"
Zayne was overwhelmed and had goosebumps all over his body upon hearing this. He shouted in a panic," You stinking brat! Who said that I have a new flame? I don't have one, so stop talking nonsense. Aunt Josie and I are on great terms."
Josie was bringing some tea over when she happened to hear Zayne’s last words. She beamed with happiness and said, "I've always known that you only love me, Zayne. We'll be together until death. In my heart, no one can be more important than you."
Zayne looked embarrassed and said somewhat unnaturally, "Of course."
Baby Robbie smiled and drank the glass of tea that Josie handed over. Then, he patted Josie on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Aunt Josie, feelings are the most unpredictable thing in the world. Uncle Cole's ability to let go of my mom and accept my aunt i s the best proof of this."
After Baby Robbie said this, he shot a sharp warning glare at Zayne.
He brought up Cole and Shirley's love story that only happened after sustained efforts in hopes that Zayne would get a grip and start acting appropriately.
Zayne was indeed intimidated by Baby Robbie.
Baby Robbie had hit the nail right on the head and stated the negative consequences Zayne would face so that he could be aware of what his willfulness would bring him.
Zayne grew worried about his personal gains and losses. He dared not recklessly make a move as he was afraid that a single slip might cause everlasting sorrow.
