Chapter 2152


    Diana was a bundle of nerves as she confessed, “I’m really scared, but what can the cops do


    without evidence? They can’t just arrest him, and I’m terrified he’lle after me if he finds out I


    called them.”


    “Then you gotta move out.” Robin urged. “Don’t stay here.”


    “But I’ve paid six months'' rent upfront, and it’s such a hassle to get it back. And you know, it’s close


    to work and was hard toe by. I just can’t let it go.” Dianamented, her face the picture of


    helplessness.


    “Just be extra careful, alright? And call me if you need anything,” Robin said, his concern evident.


    Diana hesitated, “I don’t want to bother you too much. Sophia might get upset.”


    “Listen, you came to J City with no family or friends here. It’s only right I help you out. Sophia’s


    understanding; she won’t mind,” Robin reassured her.


    “Yeah, Sophia is truly wonderful. You’re a lucky guy,” Diana said with an innocent smile.


    Robin just smiled softly, “I am.”

    Their conversation was interrupted when the silence of the night closed in around them. Diana


    pushed her water ss forward, offering, “Have some water, Robin.”


    Given thete hour and their solitude, Robin felt it was inappropriate to linger. Standing up, he


    declined, “No thanks, I should get going if you’re safe now.”


    “Could you stay a bit longer?” Diana’s voice was soft and timid. “I get so scared when I’m here


    alone. Would it be okay if you stayed just a little while longer?”


    Robin hesitated but finally nodded, “Alright, I’ll stay a bit. Just to make sure that guy doesn’te


    back.”


    “Thank you so much,” Diana beamed at him, her gratitude sweet and genuine.


    “It’s no trouble. I’m here to look after you,” Robin assured her.


    Diana stood up, “You sit tight. I’m going to take a shower.”


    A warmth spread through Robin as he nodded nonchntly, “Sure, go ahead. I’m here, you’ve got


    nothing to worry about.”


    “Okay,” Diana said, giving him a deep, meaningful look before lowering her eyes and retreating to


    her bedroom.


    The heating was on in the house, making the air warm and dry. Robin took a sip of water and shot a


    quick message to Sophia, [Hey Sophia, work rante. You get some rest; I’lle by tomorrow.]


    Two minutester, Sophia replied, [I’m fine, don’t wear yourself out. Take care of yourself.]


    [Will do. I’ll see you first thing in the morning,] Robin texted back.


    [Goodnight,] Sophia sent.


    Robin set his phone down but was startled by a knock at the door. His expression hardened as he


    approached, peering through the peephole to see a man in a ck puffer jacket and a baseball cap


    standing outside.


    He flung the door open and demanded, “What do you want?”


    The man in the cap jumped back, stammering, “Who-who are you?”


    “I’m Diana’s boyfriend. If you don’t stop bothering her, I’ll break your legs,” Robin threatened with a


    menacing glower.


    The man turned tail and ran.


    “Who was it?” Diana approached in her pajamas, her voiceced with rm.


    “A guy in histe twenties, wearing a ck puffer jacket and a baseball cap. Was it him?” Robin


    inquired.


    “Yes, that’s him,” Diana confirmed, visibly shaken. “What did he say?”


    “Nothing. I scared him off,” Robin assured her.


    “But he’lle back,” Diana was on the verge of tears.


    Robin quickly said, “Don’t worry, I already warned him off.”


    “Warnings don’t work. I’ve warned him more than once,” Diana’s eyes brimmed with tears, her


    vulnerability palpable. “What am I going to do, Robin? What am I going to do?”
