Ch. 351..355: The President's Pregnant, Ex-Wife Chapter 351-355

Chapter 351: Chapter 351 - Every woman is different

Seeing disappointment flash in Sabrina’s eyes, Robin was relieved that she shared his frustration with the interruption. He winked at her and said,

"Don’t worry. I’ll call him after I give you what you deserve," in a seductive tone. Sabrina blushed, her cheeks turning crimson.

She didn’t respond verbally, but her smile spoke volumes as Robin proceeded to give her the most pleasurable morning experience of her life.

After they both collapsed onto the bed, panting and satisfied, Robin reached for his phone and dialed Devin’s number. As soon as Devin answered, he began speaking.

"Robin, Matilda wants to spend time at the villa with Sabrina. Will that be okay with you?" Devin asked from the other end of the line.

Robin felt a twinge of annoyance at the question, as he had already informed them previously that they were welcome to visit the villa anytime.

However, he understood the importance of ensuring Sabrina was comfortable with the idea. He responded,

"The villa belongs to my wife, so I have to ask her first."

Devin smiled on the other end of the line but remained silent as Robin muted the phone. He turned to Sabrina and asked,

"Matilda wants to come and visit. Should she come?"

Sabrina smiled, hoping that Matilda had changed her mind. She also felt that they had a lot to discuss.

"Of course, she is still my best friend," Sabrina said.

Unmuting the phone, Robin to responded to Devin. "You can bring her over and we can all have a chat."

Devin sensed a misunderstanding and quickly clarified,

"Robin, you don’t understand. She wants to spend the weekend at your place."

Robin paused, considering whether to ask Sabrina again. However, based on his earlier response, he assumed that Matilda’s desire to be with Sabrina stemmed from the challenges she was facing in her relationship.

Despite the situation being Matilda’s fault, Robin believed that family was important and they would always be there for her.

"I don’t think Sabrina would mind. You can both spend the weekend here. If things aren’t okay between you two and you want to sleep in different rooms, we can arrange that too."

Devin smiled on the other end of the line, appreciating the support of family.

"Thank you, and please prepare extra breakfast. We’re on our way."

Robin chuckled as the call ended, then turned to Sabrina and said,

"They’ll be having breakfast with us and staying for the weekend, so I’ll talk to the chef."

Getting up from the bed, Robin headed to the closet to get dressed. Sabrina stood up and declared,

"I’m coming with you."

Robin smiled, touched by her desire to be by his side. He waited for her, and together they walked out hand in hand, both wearing bright smiles.

The chef was serving breakfast when Devin arrived with Matilda.

Judging by the expressions on their faces, it was clear that things were still strained between them.

Matilda forced a smile when Sabrina hugged her, but her eyes betrayed her guilt. If only she had listened to Sabrina earlier, none of this would have happened.

Sabrina’s heart warmed when she saw Robin embracing Devin. It seemed like they were slowly growing closer.

"Let’s eat first," Robin suggested, and everyone agreed. In order to not dampen anyone’s appetite, they all focused on their food.

It wasn’t until they had finished eating that Sabrina spoke up.

"Tilda, let’s go to the garden. It’s beautiful there, and it has all my favorite flowers."

Matilda smiled and followed her, while Devin stayed behind in the living room with Robin.

"So, how did it go?" Robin asked Devin.

Devin managed a weak smile and replied,

"She suddenly wants us to get married."

Robin’s eyebrows shot up, surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

"Well, that’s good news, isn’t it?" he asked rhetorically.

However, Devin’s response wasn’t as enthusiastic as Robin had anticipated.

"It should be, but I’m scared. She wants to put her education on hold, and I’m afraid that if she goes back to school after having the baby, history will repeat itself."

From the way the conversation was going, Robin deduced that Devin had regained control of the relationship and refrained from giving any advice.

Instead, Robin asked, "So, what did you tell her?"

"I asked for time. Do you think it’s the right thing? I wanted to talk to you about it, and she kept saying that she didn’t want to give birth without marriage," Devin explained.

Robin found the situation dicey. If Matilda had truly changed, then that would be great. However, if it was just because of the pregnancy, Robin suspected that it could pose more problems in the future.

However, Robin did not want to overthink things. Devin and Matilda were already in love, but she was just influenced by the things happening around her at school.

Robin comforted him, saying, "Every woman is different. Since you love her, you have nothing to lose."

"But I’m afraid that she would regret it in the future when she meets her school friends again, so I refused to allow her to put her school on hold. She has to face her fears," Devin said adamantly.

Robin was filled with respect for him and suggested, "I agree, and I suggest that you linger around after dropping her off at school to see the kind of friends she has."

Devin’s face froze for a moment as he pondered, "Why didn’t I think of that earlier?"

He had never made an effort to get to know Matilda’s friends at school. If he had, he would have been aware of what to do and could have even advised her against associating with the wrong crowd.

Robin smirked, admiring Devin for his gentlemanly nature.

"Because you’re not as possessive as I am. When I want something, I go after it without fear of the consequences. Even though I was afraid that Sabrina might have stopped loving me, I was willing to accept that and spend the rest of my life seeking her forgiveness."

Devin chuckled, remembering the times when Robin would use Sabrina’s pregnancy as an excuse to stay by her side against her will.

He knew he could never do something like that. He listened intently as Robin continued speaking.

"The thing is, when I started giving her all the love in my heart without expecting anything in return, her love for me began to grow again."

Robin’s words sparked an idea in Devin’s mind, causing a smile to spread across his face. "I think I know what to do, but I’ll need a lot of help from you and my sisters."

"Anything for you, bro. I’m always here for you, but you have to fill me in on the plan first," Robin assured him. However, Devin suddenly froze and exclaimed,

"Oh no, I forgot something really important."

"What is it?" Robin asked, puzzled.

Chapter 352: Chapter 352 – No, I’m not ashamed

In the garden, Matilda appeared despondent, but Sabrina patiently waited for her to open up, refraining from pressuring or pushing her.

"Sabrina, I’ve ruined everything. I’ve lost his trust, and I feel like he no longer loves me. I’m afraid he’ll leave me after I give birth to our child," Matilda bitterly expressed.

Sabrina shook her head, knowing that Devin loved Matilda more deeply than she realized.

"No, you shouldn’t say that. Devin is not that kind of man," Sabrina reassured her, though Matilda remained unconvinced.

She still sensed that Devin was keeping something bottled up inside, as he no longer looked at her the way he used to.

"But he refused to marry me when I suggested it. Initially, he was the one who wanted us to get married, but now that I’m ready, he claims I’m not," Matilda lamented.

Sabrina raised her eyebrows, agreeing with Devin on this matter.

"How do you know you’re ready?" she inquired. She then offered some advice, "Pregnancy should not be the sole reason for rushing into marriage."

"But I love him," Matilda confessed, her eyes welling up with tears.

Sabrina shook her head and questioned her, "Then why didn’t you marry him when he proposed?" Sabrina understood that Matilda was different. Unlike herself, who would sacrifice anything for love, Matilda didn’t seem to possess the same mindset.

"Do you remember Estelle from our school days?" Matilda abruptly asked, leaving Sabrina slightly perplexed.

However, she answered honestly, "She was the only married student in our class."

Matilda nodded in agreement and explained, "I always felt like she was too old to be a part of our group, and I didn’t want to turn out like her. I just wanted to fit in."

Sabrina chuckled as she realized the root of her best friend’s issues. "But did you know that she’s actually a principal at her own school now?"

"Yes, I heard," Matilda admitted. Sabrina continued with her questioning,

"Matilda, how many of our college friends are you still in contact with?"

Matilda didn’t understand the relevance of the question to their conversation, but she answered, "Just you and a few others."

"That should show you that you shouldn’t live your life to please others. Does my brother make you happy?" Sabrina asked again. Matilda blushed and replied,

"He makes me happier than you do."

Sabrina was pleased with her response and honestly said, "Well, then I’m glad."

"I should have married him when he proposed. I should have known that he wouldn’t make me sacrifice my dreams. But now I feel like it’s too late," Matilda said, her tone filled with sadness.

She wished she could erase all the hurtful things she had said to Devin, but now all she could do was drown in pity.

Meanwhile, Sabrina had a different perspective on the situation and honestly stated, "It’s not."

"But he doesn’t even want to be intimate with me," Matilda said, feeling miserable.

Devin had been the one initiating advances before, but suddenly stopped when she started resisting.

She wouldn’t even let him kiss her, and he had grown accustomed to it. Sabrina’s advice was based on her understanding of the situation, as Matilda had left out a crucial piece of information.

"That’s because of how shocking your behavior was. You wanted to terminate my niece or nephew, even after I promised to take care of it," Sabrina explained.

Regret filled Matilda’s tone as she sincerely said, "I’m sorry, I won’t do that anymore, but Devin still doesn’t trust me."

"You have to earn his trust after all the pain you caused him," Sabrina responded seriously, not sugarcoating her words.

"I guess you’re right. I only have one chance to give birth, and I almost terminated it. I guess I’ve caused him too much damage," Matilda admitted.

Sabrina was shocked by this revelation and was about to reprimand her when Devin’s voice interrupted,

"Tilly, I forgot to take you for a proper checkup." It was clear that he wanted them to go to the hospital now.

That was his original plan, but after Matilda woke up and suggested spending time with Sabrina, he completely forgot about it. It wasn’t until his conversation with Robin that he remembered.

Matilda was hesitant to go to the hospital again since she had already been to the clinic yesterday and knew her current situation.

She responded, "We can do that on Monday."

Devin smiled, but it was a bitter smile because he felt that Matilda was still trying to delay their plans. He subtly reminded her,

"You have school on Monday."

"I’m already planning to defer my program," she confirmed, which saddened Devin. He couldn’t help but ask,

"Is it because you’re ashamed of the pregnancy?"

Sabrina noticed the tension between the couple and decided to leave them in the garden to join Robin in the living room.

Matilda was disappointed that Devin felt that way, but she knew she could only blame herself for everything happening in her life.

She stood up and faced Devin, even though she couldn’t match his height. She held his gaze and honestly said,

"No, I’m not ashamed. I’m actually happy because we’re in this together."

Then prove it. You’re going to school on Monday," Devin said seriously, but Matilda refused and explained,

"No, because I took your advice. I want to start my own company. It’s one of the reasons why I wanted to talk to Sabrina, but we ended up talking about you."

A tear fell down her cheek, and Devin’s heart sank, realizing he had been too hard on her.

His gaze softened, and he gently caressed her cheek.

"If you want to start the company, I’m here to support you, but I just want you to complete this semester," he suggested, expecting her to refuse. To his amazement, she nodded her head and agreed, saying,

"Okay."

Devin forced a smile and said, "So, let’s go to the hospital. We’ll come back and spend the night here."

Matilda pursed her lips tightly, feeling that his feelings for her had vanished and his only concern was the baby. "I’ll go to the hospital if you answer my question truthfully."

Devin frowned slightly, not ready for another dramatic situation. "What’s the question?" he asked seriously.

Chapter 353: Chapter 353 – When the time is right

What’s the question?" he asked, his tone serious.

Matilda lowered her head, and when she lifted it again, her eyes were red and teary. She asked him seriously,

"Devin, do you still love me, or do you just want the child? Please answer me truthfully."

Devin’s resilience broke, and confusion washed over him. He couldn’t understand why she would ask such a question, and although he had a response ready, he sensed that she wasn’t prepared to hear it.

"I will answer the question when the time is right," he replied.

Disappointment flashed in Matilda’s eyes, and her resolve crumbled. She accused him in a painful tone,

"I knew it. You’ve fallen out of love with me. You’re only with me because of the baby."

Devin found her accusation offensive, but he didn’t take it to heart. He knew he had been distant lately, but he had good reason for it.

He also believed that once Matilda understood the reasons behind his actions, she would come to love him even more.

"If that’s how you feel, I won’t argue with you. However, I still have concerns about the safety of the child. Until you can prove otherwise, I won’t care about these feelings you have towards me."

Devin anticipated a reaction or response from her, but she simply walked past him to the car and said,

"I’m ready to go to the hospital."

Devin felt a sense of unease, but he didn’t waver in his decision to not answer her question.

Things were so simple in the beginning, so why did they have to become so complicated now?

After arriving at the hospital and receiving confirmation from the doctor, just as they had at the clinic, the pair returned to the comfort of the villa.

Both of them had people to talk to, which helped ease the tension in their relationship.

It was nighttime, and with Matilda asleep, Devin decided to call her father.

"Devin, how are you?" the general asked as soon as he answered Devin’s call.

Devin smiled and replied, "Dad, I’m doing well. How about you? Are you at home? I’d like to come and visit."

"Is everything alright?" the general asked, considering Devin’s desire to speak with him in person before revealing his thoughts.

"Yes, Dad, everything is fine, but I really want to see you face-to-face," Devin insisted.

He knew the general wouldn’t be angry about his request, but he still felt it was important to inform him through someone else.

"I’ll be back in two weeks," the general replied from the other end of the line. Devin felt relieved, but also felt the need to give the middle-aged man a hint.

"Since you’ll be back in two weeks, I have a surprise for you."

The general’s mood shifted. A surprise could be either good or bad, and he didn’t feel prepared for either.

"You should tell me. What kind of surprise? Is my daughter causing trouble?" the general asked anxiously, aware of Matilda’s potential for trouble, which was why he had to confine her after the incident.

However, he relaxed when he heard Devin’s response.

"No, Dad, we’re both fine. I’ll see you in two weeks."

After hanging up and returning to bed, he gazed at Matilda’s peaceful sleeping form and gently kissed the back of her neck before lying down beside her.

He could only hope that she would appreciate what he was doing for her and not become upset or cause a scene.

***

It was a Monday morning after Devin had dropped Matilda off at school following their weekend at the villa.

Devin had made the decision to encourage Matilda to start her own company and wanted her to come to school so he could test her maturity level.

His plan was to give Matilda the opportunity to differ her course, as she had expressed interest in doing so, once he had all the answers he needed.

He believed in her capabilities, but he also wanted to see her demonstrate the maturity he was looking for, not just when she was with him, but also among her friends at school.

This time, Devin didn’t arrive too early like he usually did when he dropped her off.

He purposely arrived later, as he believed it was worth it based on the reaction and attention they received.

"Matilda, you haven’t been answering our calls. What happened?" one of her friends rushed over to hug her and asked with concern.

Matilda wanted to introduce her friend to Devin, but before she could speak, another friend appeared next to the first one, looking at Devin flirtatiously and asking,

"Tilda, is that your brother? He’s so attractive. Can you set me up with him?"

Matilda’s gaze darkened as Devin waited for her reaction, but he pretended not to be interested and went to sit in his car.

Matilda was on the verge of rebuking her friend who had eyes on Devin when the next one said,

"Wait, isn’t that Devin Cage? He’s the CEO and cover model for JC clothing. God, he looks even better in person."

Matilda was not pleased. She never expected her friends, whom she was at least five years older than, to be attracted to her man, who was about three years older than her.

Reality hit her that the very thing she had been ashamed of before was what most women craved for but couldn’t get.

"Hey, Matilda, that’s a nice ride. Is it yours?" one of the guys she usually gave a lift to asked.

Matilda turned around and met Devin’s gaze through the windscreen, unsure of what to say.

She was relieved that she was wearing her engagement ring, but deep down, she feared that it might be too late and she had lost the special place she once held in his heart.

"It’s okay. Let’s talk about it later," she replied to everyone, feeling overwhelmed by the barrage of questions.

However, her second friend was persistent and didn’t give up as they walked away from the parking lot.

"Can you introduce me to your brother? Or at least give me his number," her friend pleaded.

Matilda felt irritated, unaware that Devin had secretly placed a tracker and speaker in her bag.

Not only was he tracking her, but he was also listening to their conversation as he drove to his office.

"He’s not my brother," Matilda responded, annoyance evident in her voice.

"Then who is he to you? A friend? You’ll still give me his number, right?" her friend persisted, oblivious to the fact that Devin was actually Matilda’s partner.

Devin’s ears perked up in the car, eagerly awaiting Matilda’s response.

Chapter 354: Chapter 354 – My queen, it’s not what you think.

Matilda was hesitant to share personal details with her school friends, especially these ones who relied on her for help. She didn’t feel the same connection with them as she did with Sabrina.

However, she also worried that her friend would become desperate and pursue Devin, which could further strain their already rocky relationship.

After careful thought, Matilda decided to reveal the truth about her relationship with Devin.

"He is my fiancé," she confessed, and in that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off Devin’s shoulders. At least she wasn’t as ashamed of him as he had believed.

Her friend’s expression changed, and Matilda could tell that she thought she was being lied to.

It seemed to her friend that Matilda didn’t want to give her Devin’s contact information.

"You never mentioned having a fiancé before," her friend said, glancing at Matilda’s finger and the expensive diamond ring adorning it. Jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"I’m telling you now," Matilda replied, as they entered the locker room. She began to hang her bag and change her clothes, trying to focus on something other than the tension in the air.

"We’ve been engaged for almost two months."

Her friend was still in shock, and the others remained silent. Only the one who was infatuated with Devin continued to speak.

"So when are you going to get married?"

Matilda saw no reason to hide the truth any longer. "I don’t know when we’ll get married," she admitted, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

It seemed as though she would have to have this child without the marriage she had always wanted.

"I have to prioritize taking care of myself and my baby first," Matilda revealed, causing her friends’ eyes to widen in surprise.

Matilda had been keeping many things hidden from them in order to fit in, but she had reached a point where she no longer wanted to pretend. She simply wanted to be herself and attract the right people.

As Devin drove his car whiles listening to their conversation, he couldn’t decide whether to feel happy or sad.

Matilda had just revealed so much about their relationship, something she had never shared with her friends until now.

Despite still being behind the wheel, he continued to listen.

"You’re what? Are you joking?" one of her friends asked, to which Matilda responded and asked,

"No. So what did you learn last week?"

She always changed her clothes upon arrival because the dresses Devin had made for her were very expensive, and she didn’t want to stain them during practical activities.

"We missed you last week, but we’re still working on the wine tasting," her friends revealed. Matilda forced a smile.

"I won’t be able to get that right. My taste buds are terrible."

"We’re here for you. We’ll help you with it, but I really wish Devin wasn’t responsible for your child," her second friend said, growing upset. Matilda asked, not hiding her irritation.

"Why?"

"I’ve had a crush on him for a long time."

Matilda responded half-jokingly, but internally, she was giving out a stern warning. "You’re silly, but you better stop dreaming about him. He’s mine, and I’m carrying his child."

"If I had a man like that, I would insist that we get married instantly," she shrugged before taking a seat beside Matilda. She froze.

That is what she should have done, but she always felt that Devin would be there for her no matter what. Now, she wanted to be his wife, but his mind had changed.

Realizing that all gazes were focused on her, she let out a humorless chuckle. "Hahaha, I just want to complete school first, but now I’m thinking otherwise. So what happened to your boyfriend?" she asked in return since their lecturer had not yet arrived.

"He’s too young and immature. He’s all fun and no action. I want a mature man. One like yours. A man with a vision."

Matilda’s brows raised at the way her friend described Devin, even when she had no idea who he was. "You don’t even know my man well."

"He is a popular figure, and he doesn’t womanize. You are so lucky."

Devin stopped listening when he reached his office. There was something very important for him to do, so he spent a lot of time in the design room. However, he was also satisfied with all that he had heard so far.

A few days later, Sabrina found herself feeling bored in her office, longing for the company of the man she had just had lunch with an hour ago. Unable to resist the urge, she decided to call Laura for a favor.

"Laura, I need your help," Sabrina said as soon as Laura arrived.

Laura was taken aback, as Sabrina rarely asked for assistance, but she smiled and replied, "Of course, anything for you, Miss James."

Sabrina blushed slightly before revealing her plan. "I want to surprise Robin with a visit. Can you drive me there without him knowing?"

Laura’s smile widened, thrilled that Sabrina wanted to surprise Robin.

"Sure, but keep in mind that his bodyguards might still inform him," she warned.

Sabrina was surprised by this revelation, as Robin had never brought his bodyguards to her office before. Typically, they only accompanied him to the casino and then to his office to ward off any unwanted attention from women.

"How did you know about his bodyguards?" Sabrina asked, her tone serious. Laura hesitated for a moment before deciding to be honest.

"We work for the same agency, so we’ve had a few conversations," she admitted, trusting that Sabrina would keep her secret.

Sabrina quickly came up with a solution. She grabbed her phone and dialed Aria’s number. "Aria, I need your help," she requested.

"Please, tell me what you need, Miss James," Aria responded eagerly.

"I want you to find a way to keep Robin’s bodyguards away. I want to surprise him with a visit," Sabrina explained.

"There are no bodyguards," Aria replied, sounding confused. Sabrina furrowed her brow, wondering why Robin had sent his bodyguards away.

Regardless of the situation, she made sure not to display her confusion on her face. "Oh, okay then, thank you."

Sabrina arrived at Robin’s office and inquired of Aria, "Is he alone?"

"No, there was a man and a woman there, but the man went out to get something from his car."

"Alright, thank you," Sabrina replied and turned the doorknob, finding it unlocked. Suddenly, her legs felt too heavy to move as she observed the scene before her.

As Robin’s eyes met hers, fear filled his gaze and he began to panic. "My queen, it’s not what you’re thinking."

Chapter 355: Chapter 355 – Lock the door.

"Mr. Jewel, I received a proposal for a partnership, but I don’t think I have the authority to approve it, so I have directed the couple to you," one of the CEOs from Robin’s other companies informed him.

"Alright. Aria will handle it when they arrive," Robin replied before ending the call.

Approximately four hours later, after having lunch with Sabrina and returning to his work, Robin’s intercom rang.

"Sir, there is a couple here with a proposal for a partnership," Aria informed him. Remembering the earlier conversation with the CEO, Robin responded,

"Please let them in."

A man and a woman entered Robin’s office, both dressed formally.

"Mr. Jewel, it’s an honor to finally meet you. My name is Roger Barne, and this is my wife, Gladys Barne," the man introduced himself, shaking hands with Robin. His wife followed suit.

"Please have a seat," Robin offered, gesturing towards the visitors’ chairs in front of his desk.

As the couple sat down, the man placed the proposal on Robin’s desk. However, as Robin examined it, the man suddenly stood up and excused himself.

"Please excuse me. I left the financial part in the car. I’ll bring it in a moment," the man said before leaving the room.

Robin remained focused on the proposal, but as he looked up to ask the woman a question, he stiffened, his gaze darkening.

"What do you think you’re doing?" he asked, his voice filled with disapproval.

The woman had removed her blazer and was now wearing a transparent black tube top, exposing half of her breast, all while smiling seductively.

"Come on, Mr. Jewel, a little fun won’t hurt," she provocatively suggested.

Robin quickly pushed the document aside, realizing that he had wasted his time.

He couldn’t go into business with people like this, especially considering this unfaithful wife. With a scowl, he shoved the proposal in front of her and commanded,

"Leave my office."

The woman stood up, revealing her attractive figure. Robin couldn’t help but notice her short skirt.

Although the door was closed, it wasn’t locked, so even if he shouted for Aria, she wouldn’t hear it due to the soundproofing.

"No. I just want one moment with you, and then I’ll be gone," Glady’s said, getting up from her chair and slowly approaching him.

Robin panicked, fearing that someone might walk in and misinterpret the situation, especially since the woman was already partially undressed.

"Get out, or I’ll call security," Robin said coldly. However, the woman only smiled flirtatiously and leaned over his desk. He quickly rolled his executive chair backward to avoid her touch.

She frowned at his attempts to evade her and threatened in a smooth voice, "I could tear my clothes and accuse you of rape."

"What?" Robin paled instantly, regretting not bringing his bodyguards along.

How would Sabrina believe him when she had suggested a solution he hadn’t implemented this time because he disliked crowds?

"I’ve wanted this for so long. Please don’t deny me," the woman said, removing the tube top she was wearing as she stepped away from his desk and moved towards his chair.

Robin hoped her husband would walk in at any minute and reminded her,

"You are a married woman. Why are you doing this? Your husband will be here soon."

The woman smiled flirtatiously, "He is not my husband. I just paid him to get him here because you don’t let women in alone."

Robin clenched his teeth, his mind racing on how to get the woman out. In the worst-case scenario, he would have to forcefully remove her, but he worried she might spread false accusations since there were no cameras in his office.

She walked around the desk and was about to touch him when he yelled, "Don’t touch me. Pick up your clothes and leave."

"Mr. Jewel, do you want me to strip and scream? Just one encounter and you will never see me again," the girl threatened, confirming Robin’s fears.

She was about to touch him again when he pushed her, but she had already grabbed onto his waist belt to prevent herself from falling due to her four-inch stilettos.

Just then, the door swung open and Sabina walked in, freezing at the sight before her.

Fear filled Robin’s gaze as he began to panic. "My queen, it’s not what you’re thinking."

He had come so far and didn’t want Sabrina to misinterpret the situation.

Disappointment settled in the woman’s gaze as Sabrina analyzed the scene. Something didn’t feel right to her, but she chose to suppress her suspicions and asked,

"So what happened?"

Her gaze was icy, causing Robin to doubt whether she would believe him. Nevertheless, he mustered the courage to explain,

"She came here with her husband, who went out to retrieve something from the car. I glanced up, and she was partially undressed."

The woman pretended to be shocked, casting a pleading look at Sabrina before directing her accusing stare at Robin.

"Mr. Jewel, why are you lying? You summoned me here, and it was you who instructed me to strip."

Robin’s face drained of color as he witnessed the disappointment and pain in Sabrina’s eyes. He was at a loss for words but still attempted to defend himself.

"What?" he turned to Sabrina, "My queen, I swear it’s not true."

Upon seeing Sabrina’s gaze soften, the girl furrowed her brow and inquired, "Then how did I manage to gain entry?"

Sabrina had invested too much in her relationship with Robin, and he had shown no indication of infidelity.

She also knew that if Robin desired to cheat, he would do so without hesitation. Additionally, Robin had a reputation for being honest.

If he intended to hurt her, he wouldn’t conceal it. Sabrina turned to the girl and asked,

"You claim he called you. Do you have any evidence?"

The girl squirmed, realizing that Sabrina remained undecided. She also feared the truth coming to light, as she understood that Robin would seek revenge. Desperate for an escape, she searched for a way out.

"Yes, I left my phone in the car. I’ll go retrieve it."

Before she could reach the door, Sabrina called after her. "No, wait. I have another method of uncovering the truth. Robin, lock the door."
