My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 674 Getting Closer Than Before

It turned out that Robert had already met Doe before.

"I didn't say that. I only shared what I know, as I'm not sure about the exact truth either. Doe does have a foreign appearance, unlike your lineage. However, Petala mentioned that her family has German and Irish lineages. It could be a case of inherited traits across generations. Anyway, these are just my guesses. You need to investigate it for yourself. If Doe turns out to have no connection to you, don't be disappointed. Oh, and there's one more thing—"

I paused and looked at Robert, who seemed lost in thought. His expression was particularly complex as if he was pondering something he couldn't figure out.

So, I continued in a soft and gentle voice, "Did you really give Petala away to someone else after having sex with her back then?"

Robert sat back in the recliner and answered, "Yes."

"Why did you do that?"

He rolled his eyes at me. "Do I need a reason? I just did it at the time, without thinking about any reasons. There's no need to dwell on that."

Clearly, he had no regret.

"If Doe is your child, will you regret it?"

With a firm tone, Robert denied believing that. "That girl definitely has no connection to me. If conceiving a baby was that easy, by just having a one-night stand, I would have many offsprings over all these years. Anyway, there's no need to be curious about the girl's identity."

"What if it turns out that she's your daughter?"

"I don't deserve to be her father." Robert's voice was lowered.

"Robert…"

I felt really uncomfortable hearing him say that.

Immediately, he smiled and reassured me, "Why are you worrying about these things? Even if she turns out to be my daughter, so what? Robina means nothing to me. There's no need to care too much about her."

Robert rejected any warmth from the outside world.

He only longed for the warmth at home.

Seeing that I wanted to say more, Robert scoffed and said, "Ree, worry about yourself more. Don't bother about me."

"But our bodies—"

"What? Do you think that we're gonna die young?"

I just reminded him, "Treasure the present."

Robert tilted his head. "You're blocking my sunlight now."

It turned out thot Robert hod olreody met Doe before.

"I didn't soy thot. I only shored whot I know, os I'm not sure obout the exoct truth either. Doe does hove o foreign oppeoronce, unlike your lineoge.
