The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 337 Initial Charm

Robin stayed in place, not moving an inch.

Shirley leaned in close to him, grinning. "Come on, what are you waiting for?"

Robin shook his head. "You have nothing better to do."

Shirley laughed softly to herself. There was something about him-whether he was cold or just relaxed- that left her captivated every time. Even when people misunderstood him, she found herself drawn in, completely taken.

But now, hearing those heartless comments-from-Diana, Shirley was disappointed. She saw right through her.

Robin helped Rosalie selflessly, without any ulterior motives. If Diana knew how many women-absolute beauties-would do anything to be by his side, who knows what she'd think. Some people go their whole lives without understanding what truly matters in life. Even if they suffered, struggled, and lost everything, they might still never get it.

She'd thought this gathering would be a simple, unpretentious family dinner, a time to relax, chat about little things, and share in genuine family warmth. But now that she was here, the reality was nothing short of disappointing, utterly so.

No wonder people say that if relationships could stay as beautiful and light as when you first meet, without the later resentment and grievances, it would be better to hold onto that initial charm forever.

Shirley had prepared so carefully, hoping for even a hint of motherly warmth from Diana that she had longed for years. But now that hope had completely faded.

Since there was nothing else to do, she decided she might as well watch this little display of human nature. It could be entertaining enough.

Just as she took Robin's arm to head inside, Diana stepped in their way again.

"Oh, right, one more thing," Diana said. "There are two tables in the private room.

"The one further in is for Dorothy's family and a few of the company executives.
