Chapter 2503

Sophia looked at the man standing before her, emotions swirling inside her. After everything they'd been through, she had changed-and so had Robin.

He was more considerate now, gentler than he'd ever been, but it was all happening when she no longer needed him to be.

Robin's voice was low, tinged with regret. "What Diana did afterwards was absolutely insane. I made it clear to her a long time ago—told her I didn't love her, that we'd never be together. That night was a mistake."

He laced his fingers together, tension in every movement. "She asked me for money, and I thought that once she'd taken it, we'd be done. I never imagined she'd go behind my back and scheme like that."

Sophia spoke quietly, "She probably thought that after that night, she had a claim on you. When she realized you didn't want to be with her, she must have grown resentful."

Robin's frustration was plain. "If she had a problem with me, she could've taken it out on me. Why did she have to drag you into it?"

Sophia let out a short, bitter laugh. "Maybe it just means she really loved you."

Robin paused, caught off guard, and slowly shook his head. "I don't love her. After everything she's done, there's no way I could ever be with her."

He took a breath, struggling to steady himself, then continued. "Sophia, I've done a lot of thinking lately-about how we began, about everything that happened between us. I realized the problems all started with me. Maybe you were already disappointed in me before New Year's Eve, weren't you?"
