Chapter 165: Chapter 165 – What if I let Zayla go? Will you come back to me?

At Robin’s office, he was rounding up to go and pick up Sabrina from work when his phone rang. Seeing Zayla’s father’s name, he did not answer the phone.

He had already seen numerous calls from the driver and Zayla herself but ignored them all.

His silence meant NO and the driver knew it since he already texted wherever he was taking Zayla to Robin.

Robin had also received emails, text messages, and calls from the bank to approve a ten million transaction.

He laughed bitterly, not surprised that Zayla was trying to pay off her father’s former investors with his hard-earned money.

He was glad that Zayla’s first opportunity was half a million. If that had not happened, how would he have prevented her from taking this much? Robin wanted to embarrass her to the world before proceeding with his final revenge plan.

When he was about to set off, a text message dropped on his phone. Thinking it was Sabrina since her closing time was just twenty minutes away and it would take him fifteen to get there, he checked it only to see,

’Zayla fainted at the bank.’

The message was from Kennedy. Robin was not moved to honor it with any response, amused by the fact that Zayla fainted because she had the money but could not touch it.

Well, nobody messes with Robin and he was just getting started. Destroying Zayla was not hard but his greatest challenge was in how to get his ex-wife back.

He stepped out of his office and told Aria, "You can leave when you are done. Great job you did there."

He was talking about the inner room she transformed into a cozy bedroom. It had no reminders of what he used to do in there before and now felt like his peaceful bedroom, but just smaller.

Robin regretted so many things including his relationship with his father before the old man died. Some damages were irreparable but for those he had the power to correct, he was going to do so.

It was such a shame that even with all his money, he only found his peace in such a small four-corner room.

"Thank you," Aria smiled. It wasn’t easy to get complimented like this by her boss so indeed, her head was swollen with pride. "But sir, why the changes?" she asked curiously.

Robin smiled bitterly, "you won’t understand, Aria," he said and walked away.

Robin got into his car and silenced his phone since it was now past business hours. Sabrina was still rounding up so he went in and sat on a visitor’s chair in her office without disturbing her.

Sabrina was uncomfortable with his gaze on her, thereby saying,

"You shouldn’t be looking at your ex-wife like that."

She did not even glance at him while she spoke but Robin realized that every time he saw her, she looked more and more beautiful. He smiled.

"Is there any other way to look at my wife?"

Sabrina paused and looked at him. Then she went back to doing what she was doing before. Maybe it was just a slip of the tongue because even when they were married, Robin never called her his wife.

He would only call her by her name and he said once to his father when they were both in his study that he would never call her his wife because he felt ashamed of her.

No one knew Sabrina had heard those words because she was taking coffee to her father-in-law by then, not knowing that Robin had returned from work.

He called her a desperate woman who would marry a man who was in love with another.

The remembrance of it got into Sabrina and her expression turned cold.

"Dear one, would you go on a date with me if I asked?"

Sabrina paused her actions again and this time, her voice equally lacked radiance,

"Robin, you never went on a date with your wife before and now you are asking your ex-wife?"

"It’s to improve our relationship," Robin said cunningly but Sabrina resumed whatever she was doing on her laptop and responded,

"Our relationship is fine like this. No need for improvement."

Robin knew it was going to be hard but when she turned cold like this, he felt helpless since he did not know how to woo a woman, much less the one he had hurt before.

"Sabrina, I miss you."

Sabrina paused her actions and began to massage her temple, feeling like she was having a bad headache.

"Robin, please stop. I’m begging you to not ruin my mood."

"And I’m begging you to consider going on a date with me," Robin insisted but in a polite tone to not upset her further.

He knew he had to start from somewhere but did not intend to stop even if she rained bitter words on him.

"Please go with Zayla or is it because of how her face turned bad from the slaps?" Sabrina asked mockingly, Robin chuckled.

If he tells her about his findings concerning Zayla now, it would only worsen matters.

"Sabrina, can you please forget Zayla when we talk?" His voice was indeed pleading but Sabrina was not moved. She was also angry.

"No, I can’t. She is the reason why we got to this stage. The reason why you divorced me. You were waiting for it for a long time and when I proposed it, it wasn’t difficult for you to accept it."

Robin felt ashamed because, throughout their marriage, he held Sabrina responsible for the reason why he did not marry Zayla, due to the most outrageous reason he just discovered was a scam.

"I was stupid and I’m sorry."

Robin never apologized for anything throughout their three years of marriage but when he did now, it did not move Sabrina. She spoke indifferently,

"I forgave you a long time ago but you already have a woman in your life," Sabrina said bitterly, Robin smiled and asked,

"What if I let Zayla go? Will you come back to me?"
