Then, the macrame knots ultimately confirmed Josephine’s speculation.
She was almost sure that the prisoner was Baby Robbie.
Zayne was afraid that once Baby Robbie broke free from the flimsy knots, it would be bad for them. Hence, he tried to pull Josephine away.
Josephine broke free from his hand and strolled toward Baby Robbie. She tentatively asked, “Do you want to escape?”
Baby Robbie lifted the macrame knots and put on a bitter expression on his handsome face.
How could he escape now?
This macrame knot was akin to a charm that was testing his sincerity. If he dared to cut it off so mercilessly, how disappointed would Mommy be in him?
Mommy was in terrible health now. Would he be willing to make Mommy angry?
Josephine was being mischievous. “I can cut it off for you. As long as you promise me you’ll never come back to Mount Pearl.”
Baby Robbie, “...”
Josephine turned around to look for a knife after speaking. Then, she took a fruit knife and walked toward Baby Robbie.
The frightened Jenson and Baby Robbie involuntarily did a backflip, then they jumped up and down the room.
Zayne was even more frightened and ran over to restrain Josephine. “Are you crazy, Josie? How can you cut off the rope that binds him?”
Josephine suddenly laughed out loud.
She was so ecstatic that her cutest and warmest little nephew in the world, Baby Robbie, had returned.
Josephine stuffed the fruit knife into Zayne’s hand and said, “Don’t you worry. Even if you want to cut off the macrame knots on their hands, these two brats wouldn’t let you succeed.”
He threw the broom to the side and lay tiredly on the sofa.
“You’re so capable now, huh? Uncle can’t outrun you now.”
“You couldn’t outrun me even from way before.”
Zayne, “...”
Baby Robbie cast a glance at Zayne and Josephine. He once again reversed the topic and teased. “How did you two end up together?”
“It’s a long story. You should be talking about yourself. When did you become such a heinous villain?” Zayne replied to him with a question.
Baby Robbie retorted, “Then, why did you abandon Aunty Shirley? And you, how did you come to adopt a scumbag?”
Zayne deliberately confused the right and wrong, saying, “This is all your mommy’s fault. She forcibly separated Aunty Shirley and me, even turning Aunty Shirley into a daughter of the Severe family. Since I couldn’t change her mind, I was only left with the option of respecting her decision. You guys know that your mommy has the highest position in the family’s hierarchy.”
