Mysterious Male Escort Is a Mogul

Chapter 738

It was Jamie's first time discussing this matter so seriously with Robbie. Indeed, Robbie was an entirely different person from his usual frivolous self.

He'd suddenly grown stern. Looking into his brother's small face, Jamie felt that Robbie exuded an aura of manliness.

“I haven't...” Robbie began, then reflected. “My personality's always been rather neutral. I'm not as lively as you.”

“No,” Jamie shook his head, saying solemnly. “You were always wiser and more mature than I was even when Mommy was still with us. But you'd still laugh and joke. You were close to Great-grandpa too. I haven't seen you smile in a while.”

“Now that Mommy's not around, I can't bring myself to smile,” Robbie replied in a low voice, his eyes reddening.

Jamie bowed his head in grief. He was silent for a moment, then said, “Ellie and I are sad, too, that Mommy's no longer around. But we can't take it out on Great-grandpa. It has nothing to do with him.”

Robbie frowned but said nothing. He was the only one who had borne witness to the last time Mommy had been with them. She'd clearly been threatened by Great-grandpa. Robbie hadn't stopped blaming himself for trusting Great-grandpa.

If only I'd stopped him! If only I'd never left her side! Robbie despaired with all the benefits of hindsight. Perhaps tragedy would not have struck then.

There was no way he could tell all this to Jamie and Ellie, though. He swallowed the truth in silence, and it weighed heavy on his heart like a stone.
