Chapter 384: Chapter 384 - Just allow me to take it off

"Regarding your twin brother, I want to see him," Cecilia stated.

Robin was unsure of how things would go between him and his twin brother, who seemed determined to harm him. He didn’t know how to respond to his grandma, but he tried to remain positive.

"I will inform him about you when I locate him. I have his whereabouts and will send people to discreetly keep an eye on him. I need to be certain if he knows anything about yesterday’s scandal," Robin replied.

Cecilia was uneasy about the scandal and didn’t believe that Robin’s twin brother was involved. "Why would he want to harm you?" she asked.

Robin forced a smile, not wanting to explain everything again, knowing that his grandmother sometimes forgot things. "I told you before that he demanded that I give Sabrina to him."

The elderly woman stiffened upon recalling that statement. She would never exchange Sabrina for anything, not even for her desire to see Robin’s twin brother.

"Robin, nothing must happen to Sabrina," she cautioned. Robin promised, "Grandma, I swear it with my life."

Cecilia almost believed him, but remembering what happened the previous night, she panicked. "But you were drugged yesterday. What if the same thing was done to Sabrina?"

Robin’s expression darkened. He couldn’t bear the thought of anything bad happening to his wife.

"You’re right, but I need to investigate and find out exactly what they did in order to take precautions in the future."

"You better do so," Cecilia agreed.

Robin thought of his angry pregnant wife and told Cecilia, "Anyway, I’m going to bring breakfast to my pregnant wife in bed."

Grandma Cecilia smiled as she watched him leave for the kitchen. Sabrina was already in the shower when Robin returned. He dropped the food on a table in the bedroom and joined her.

"Why did you shower without me?" he asked, pretending to be upset.

"That’s because you went out to answer the call. What are you hiding?" Sabrina asked, irritated. She turned off the faucet and covered herself with a towel, her back to Robin.

As she walked past him hastily, Robin couldn’t shake the feeling that she was hiding something from him.

He pulled her into his arms at the doorway, but she kept her head lowered and her eyes teary.

Robin’s heart thumped in his chest, wondering if there was more to her behavior than just the call.

"I will answer your question, but please tell me first, why are you covering up?"

The boundary of nakedness had never been an issue in their rocky relationship in the past, so he couldn’t understand why it was happening now.

"Nothing," Sabrina said dryly, avoiding eye contact. Robin was disturbed. He cupped her face in his hands, but she stubbornly refused to meet his gaze, turning her back to him.

"Please don’t lie to me. It doesn’t suit you," Robin pleaded. Sabrina forced a smile through her teary eyes as she tried to remain calm.

"It’s nothing. I just want privacy until and after the babies are born," she said nervously.

Robin frowned deeply, feeling exasperated since she had been happy when she woke up that morning.

They had even been about to have a morning moment before they were interrupted by his phone. Was that his punishment for answering Pete’s call outside?

Robin felt sorry. Perhaps he could have spoken briefly to Peter before finding another way to discuss other matters with him after reaching the office.

"My queen, please, I’m sorry for picking up the call outside. The discussion was about my twin brother, and for other matters, I will tell you after you deliver the baby. These matters are not healthy for you."

He turned her to face him again and saw a tear roll down her cheek. He caught it in his hand, his heart breaking. Robin felt that it wasn’t about the call and that something else was troubling his wife.

Whatever it was, he wanted to find out and was not ready to give up on her. "If you are going through something, I want to help. Please don’t deny me, I’m begging you."

When their gaze met, Sabrina saw the pain in his eyes and instantly broke down, turning her back to him once again. "My body will no longer be perfect."

Robin was confused, unable to make sense of her words. He feared that she might get depressed along the way and was doing everything possible to prevent it, but it seemed that was exactly what was happening.

What are you talking about?" Robin asked, worried as he took in her facial expressions. She looked saddened and sorrowful.

"Robin, this is all a mistake," Sabrina said, shedding tears that felt like acid being poured on his heart.

"My queen, please help me understand and stop crying," Robin said, wiping her tears. When they were instantly replaced, he tried to remove the towel, but she held tightly to it.

He paused, wondering why she was suddenly trying to hide her nakedness from him, but there was always one trick that worked. "I want to feel our babies."

Sabrina shook her head in refusal. "No. Not anymore."

Robin was disturbed but felt that she might be feeling depressed because of how big her stomach had grown within a short space of time. But she was carrying twins, and this was what Robin had always wanted.

The sight of it was a reminder that their twins were soon going to be born. "Why," he asked, close to her ears, his hot breath warming it.

Sabrina could already feel her resolve breaking but still stood strong, not wanting him to see what she was hiding.

"Robin..."

"Just allow me to take it off," Robin’s voice cut through her words. "We even showered last night together, and I don’t think there is anything for either of us to hide."

Sabrina’s grip loosened a little, so Robin removed the towel. As he caressed her stomach, he felt a strange roughness. At the same time, warm liquid wet his hands.

Gripped with fear, he instantly turned her to face him. "Why are you crying?" he asked, worried.
