The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1779

Alyssa cast a doubtful glance at them, “What’s up with you two? Strangers now?”

Robin snapped back to reality, forcing an awkward smile, “Mother, what brings you here?”

“What? I can’t see my own son now?”

Robin pursed his lips. “I’m happy to see you, mother”

Alyssa sighed inwardly. Her son could sometimes be too serious, not the type to handle jokes well. “Tve finally managed to divorce. Came over to celebrate with a meal “c2

Robin took a moment, glancing at the expressionless Royce, then back at his mother’s demeanor from start to finish. She seemed oblivious to the recent happenings. He relaxed a little upon realizing this, quickly saying, ‘I’ll have the cooks prepare something right away.”

“No need I’ll cook today and prepare the dishes you used to love”

Robin looked surprised, unable to believe what his mother just said. ‘No, no need

“But your health.

“I know my limits “Hannah gave him a reassuring nod and guided Alyssa inside

Robin stood there looking at Royce, lips moving but no words forming

Royce merely held Elizabeth close, giving him an indifferent look before entering the house.

Robin stood outside for a moment longer before following them in His wife had grown accustomed to life in Hong Kong and had returned there after just a few days here He had been busy with work and had been living alone. The villa was large but simply furnished. Most of his time was spent at Harper’s Mansion Sometimes he even stayed overnight at the office so the house rarely felt lively

Alyssa looked around, feeling a pang of sympathy Elizabeth was also surprised by his living conditions

Though Robin always kept his concerns to himself, his intentions were not hard to figure out. Since he had the intention to fight for the Harper family it was surprising to see him leading such a simple life

“What are you thinking? You are a Harper after all. Why live so frugally? Alyssa was displeased with his current state, “We work hard to earn money so we can enjoy life You’re at an age where you should be enjoying life. We spend the first half of our lives working for ourselves, the second half for our kids. Your kids are doing great, your life should be fulfilled. You need to let go of whatever’s troubling you”

Alyssa was blunt, but her words were somewhat subtle. He was a man after all, and she worried that being too harsh might hurt his pride

Robin merely nodded. “You’re night, Mother As long as the kids are happy I should be content”

“Glad you understand it’s not too late”

The living room fell silent for a moment. Not just Alyssa, even Elizabeth sensed the unusual atmosphere “What’s wrong? Why the long face now? Is something bothering you?”

Robin shook his head. “No.”

Alyssa was a bit upset. Even if there was, you probably wouldn’t tell me. I’ll head to the kitchen. You two brothers should catch up.”

Robin tightened his lips. “Take care, Mother”

Elizabeth was still puzzled, but she followed Alyssa to the kitchen to help
