Chapter 67: Chapter 67 – Robin’s anger towards Zayla

No matter how Robin tried to deny it, Sabrina’s words stirred up something inside of him. Something that told him that he had offended her badly.

For the three years Sabrina was married to him, she never complained about anything. She kept his home and made her body available every time he wanted it.

This was the first time she spoke to him with so much hate and anger, it made Robin feel a pain in his heart. Zayla had seen the change in Robin’s appearance that he was affected by Sabrina’s words and quickly allowed the tears to fall, giving her a pitiful look.

This was the first time after the villa incident that Robin had ever stood up for her against his ex-wife and she had to take advantage of it.

"Zayla, what happened?"

Robin held her two hands and pulled her up. Seeing her reddened cheeks, he was furious but did not know whether it was against Sabrina or himself. In the end, he wrapped his arm comfortingly around her.

Zayla snuggled closer to his chest and said through sobs,

"I just told her the truth and she hit me."

"What truth?" Robin asked whilst stroking Zayla’s hair. Her heart leaped, as excitement cruised through her.

She felt that Robin cared about her so she said without thinking much,

"At first, I asked her to sell me the villa because I wanted my kids to grow there and she said she’ll only sell it for 500 trillion dollars."

She wanted Robin to think of his ex-wife as a gold-digger but hearing about the villa again, Robin frowned a little but did not pull away.

He already knew that Sabrina would not sell the villa and for whatever she wanted to do with it, he did not care.

"Then what happened?" He asked Zayla.

"I mentioned that..." Zayla sobbed.

"That what? And don’t lie to me," Robin pulled away and looked at her with an intense but soft gaze.

Zayla feared a little but also reminded herself to use it as an opportunity to remind him that he need not feel pity for Sabrina because she was not worth it.

"I...I just reminded her of her lifestyle after the divorce."

"Which is?" Robin tried to remain calm, already guessing that Zayla must have crossed her limits again. She just could not stay away from trouble and he knew it quite well.

"Fucking two men and she slapped me."

Robin’s gaze turned cold and his hand that was still comfortingly resting on her shoulders dropped. No wonder Sabrina was so upset and Robin only made matters worse by jumping to conclusions.

It was unlike him but at the moment, all he thought about was the child in Zayla’s womb, for which reason he lost control.

"How dare you tell that to her?"

Zayla saw how his expression changed and anger welled up in her heart again. It was heart-wrenching that Robin always defended his ex-wife.

"But it’s the truth. Did she not date two men already?" Zayla insisted innocently, trying to create the impression that Sabrina was a loose woman.

Robin did not want to tell her about his findings but this was the second time Zayla made such an indecent remark about Sabrina and he did not like it, for which reason he was forced to explain,

"Sabrina did not date anyone. The guy you claimed to have slapped you in the washroom is her half-brother and she and Martin are only fake dating because she wants to make me upset. Sabrina is a decent woman."

Robin’s words were a bit rushed because he was upset so Zayla took her time to break them down. She knew Sabrina from before, when they were kids but she never told Zayla about her half-brother.

Also, fake dating? Martin looked like he was in love with Sabrina so Zayla did not believe Robin’s words. Feeling that he had been misinformed, she thought it right to correct him,

"Robin, it’s not true. She is lying to you."

Robin pursed her lips and shook his head. No wonder Sabrina slapped Zayla. He could not blame her anymore since Zayla never thought about the child in her womb before doing anything. Because if she did, she would not go around creating messes for him to clean up.

Then again, he recalled when Daniel told him about Zayla and Sabrina being friends before so he thought to ask, "I think you know her better than I do."

Zayla realized that she had given herself away and quickly nodded her head, "No. I only saw her when you took me to the villa."

Robin trusted Daniel’s detailed information, feeling that Zayla was lying to him so he insisted, "Zayla, I know that you and Sabrina were friends before."

"No, how could I be friends with her? I never knew her. Besides, a woman who said directly that she easily left you for me because you were not worth fighting for?"

Zayla saw as Robin’s gaze darkened and she smiled a little at her success. ’You keep defending her but she doesn’t care about you,’ she said in her mind.

"I think we should leave now," Robin clenched his teeth and spoke. Zayla was disappointed that their romantic dinner was ruined and she was not ready to leave yet. They had to have that dinner tonight.

"What about the food? I’m hungry," she complained innocently.

The waitress quickly brought their takeouts. Robin did not touch it and when Zayla did, he began to walk ahead while she ran to catch up with him.

Robin did not come here to dine like he made it seem. He was only here to mess up Martin’s date with Sabrina and it was also the reason why he bought the hotel.

Coming alone would have made it too suspicious, for which reason he brought Zayla along, telling her that he had a surprise for her.

"Are you upset with me?" Zayla asked after getting tired of Robin’s indifference but he did not answer.

"Robin, please understand that pregnant women are prone to depression and it can make us act and do silly stuff sometimes."

Using the pregnancy was a brilliant idea because it caught Robin’s attention, as he glanced at her whilst driving but from the question he asked her, she regretted trying to grab his attention.
