The sisters suddenly became silent upon hearing the words from Thirteen's mouth.
They truly had no clue who Baby Robbie liked, but each of them had a special type of affection for Baby Robbie.
Perhaps it was gratefulness as they were thankful to Baby Robbie for giving them the warmth of the scorching sun during the coldest years of their lives, allowing them to experience what it was like having loved ones. After all, life and death was the most common thing in the military intelligence division. No one batted an eyelid toward another person's fate. However, Baby Robbie would care about them and protect them.
Perhaps it was the deep friendship they shared from getting along for a long time. They had morphed themselves into each other’s lives and were each indispensable. Their bonds were akin to blood, skin, and bones inside a body. Since they had been working together for a long time, they had become dependent o n each other and merely coexisted as a whole.
Perhaps it was even from the affection of living under the same roof.
It could also be the sort of admiration for each other’s excellence during such a confusing period of puberty.
In any case, they could not clearly tell what sort of sentiment it was but they knew that they loved Baby Robbie very much and were unwilling to leave him.
At this moment, Sis Six, Roxie, lamented emotionally, " I know that we’re all not willing to leave Baby Robbie since all of us like him. But we must understand that he's different from us. We're killers, and our hearts are cold. No matter how much our adoptive father and mother want us to be ordinary people, we can still revert to being cold-blooded killers when we're thrown into a cruel environment. Baby Robbie's different from us. Even from the day he became a killer, he resisted it and had always longed to be an ordinary person. An ordinary person will want to start a family, so he’ll definitely find a girl he likes in the future, marry her, and have children.”
When Roxie was saying this, she looked at the bewildered sisters with a wistful look. She continued with a wry smile, "I know that all of you are reluctant t o leave his side, and so am I. But if we love him, we should respect his choice. Right?"
All of the sisters nodded.
At this moment, Thirteen said, "Sis Six is right. Even if Robbie were to fall for any of you in the future, I hope that the other sisters can give them their blessings."
The sisters obviously had a hard time accepting that Baby Robbie was not one of them. All of them bowed their heads. They were feeling sorrowful and refused t o speak.
On top of the roof, Baby Robbie could not help but chuckle as he looked at the sisters who had tears in their eyes and their heartbroken appearance.
