The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219 How Dare You Detain Us Illegally!
Vera was yanked out of Rosewood Hotel's lobby by Robin.

Feeling bewildered, she struggled to free herself from his hold.

"Let me go, Robin! I still have more to say. Why are you dragging me away like this?"

Ignoring her protests, Robin kept steering her toward the car.

Vera massaged her wrist, which felt tender from his grip. "Robin, what's your problem? I was just arguing with her. Why are you pulling me away?"

"Ms. Quinn is incredibly unreasonable. I've never encountered such an overbearing woman ... "

Robin pressed his lips together, observing her furious expression, and remarked, "Alright, Bro, you're quite bold. Do you find it entertaining to argue with someone so clueless?"

"What did you just call me?" Vera asked, taken aback.

Robin smirked and replied, "I mean, there's no point in spending time with some worthless people."

"No!" Vera frowned, concentrating hard. "What did you say just before that?"

"Did I say anything before that?" Robin asked as he pushed Vera into the car. "Let's discuss this inside."

Vera raised her fist and punched Robin. "Did you just call me 'Bro'?"

Robin paused for a moment. "Huh? Maybe."

"Robin, no matter what, I'm a beautiful woman, yet you keep treating me like a guy. What's up with that?" Vera said, pouting in frustration.

Robin nodded nonchalantly. "Does it really matter what you're called? Bro, Miss, they're pretty much the same. Now open the car door!"

Daphne and Rita exchanged a knowing smile as they listened to the exchange between Robin and Vera.

When Vera saw Daphne and Rita getting into the car, she decided not to bother him any further.

Rita started the engine, and an uneasy silence filled the air.

Vera glanced at Daphne and Rita in the front seat before shifting her gaze to Robin, who was resting with his eyes shut. After a moment of hesitation, she leaned closer and whispered, "Robin, are you really going to give me that expensive necklace?"

Robin opened his eyes to find that Vera had already placed the Eternal Moonlit in a box and was handing it to him. "This is too valuable," she said.

He pushed the necklace back into Vera's hands. "I told you it's for you, so just keep it. Why are you giving it back? Do you not want it, or do you not like it?"

Vera cradled the box and murmured, "It's too precious. I don't know how to thank you."

Robin said lazily, "This necklace looks perfect on you. It's a gift for you—what return do I need? As long as you like it, that's all that matters.

"These items are just overhyped to seem luxurious. In reality, they don't hold much value. It's just a regular piece of jewelry."

Vera paused for a moment before taking back the necklace. "Alright, now that you've said it like that, I feel better. Otherwise, wearing a necklace worth five billion feels like I have a whole corporation hanging around my neck. I can't breathe."

Noticing Vera lost in thought, Robin chuckled and remarked, "Don't overthink it. It's just a necklace."

Vera pressed her lips together, thinking, "Just a necklace, but it's worth five billion!"

After a moment of hesitation, she looked at Daphne and Rita, who were quiet.

Then she turned her gaze to Robin, who was still lounging in his seat with his eyes shut.

Leaning closer to him, she whispered, "Robin, you've been really kind to me. Do you have feelings for me?"

Robin gradually opened his eyes and met Vera's worried gaze. He smiled and replied, "You're overthinking it."

"I mean, if you really do like me, I might think about it! Just don't always treat me like a brother, okay?" Vera said, giving his waist a gentle pinch as she whispered.

Robin winced slightly. "Why are you pinching me?"

Vera beamed with a joyful smile. "My mom always said that if you pinch someone and they feel pain, it means they like you. Haha ... Robin, I've just proved that you have feelings for me, haha ... "

Vera was so thrilled that she completely forgot Daphne and Rita were still in the car.

Robin was momentarily at a loss for words. "It sounds like anyone would feel pain if you pinch them—unless they're a fool ... "

Vera erupted in laughter.

However, as she laughed, her nose began to tingle, and she choked slightly.

"Robin, you j*rk! Do you have any idea how excited I am today?

"It's been more than ten years since my mom left, and no one has ever treated me as kindly as you have. Sob ... sob ... "

Vera began to cry uncontrollably.

Seeing her so sad, Robin was confused. "What's wrong? Everything is fine, so why are you crying?"

Wiping her tears, Vera replied, "Robin, you're just too good to me. I don't know how to repay you, and it worries me ... "

"Oh, come on! Is that all this is about?" Robin shook his head. "Did I ever ask you for anything? Stop crying! You're an adult, not a child!"

As she wiped away her tears, Vera remarked, "If you don't want me to do anything, that's up to you. You treat me so well and treat me like a brother. Even if I want to have feelings for you, I'm scared to. Otherwise, wouldn't that just be considered gay?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Robin noticed a playful glint in Vera's eyes. "Are you just joking with me?"

Rita and Daphne couldn't help but laugh at what they heard.

Vera paused, chuckling, "Haha ... Robin, you're too clever. How did you catch on to me so easily? Haha ... "
