Chapter: 650
"I’m not talking about that. Where’s your sister?" Dustin pressed.
"My sister can’t meet you yet. Just stay here for a few days, and when the time is right, I’ll arrange for you two to meet," Ruth replied.
"Then you have to at least tell me what happened." Dustin frowned.
"Water won’t boil if you watch it. The situation right now is unfavorable. Knowing too much won’t do you an good, either. If you trust my sister, then wait a couple of days." Ruth looked serious.
"But Dustin started, but Ruth interrupted him.
"Before we came, we already agreed that you would listen to me. Otherwise, please go home!"
"Fine, I’ll wait!" Dustin took a deep breath. In the end, he chose to give in. After all, he was already in Millsburg.
If trouble really arose, he could lend his support anytime.
"Great. Just wait here, and I’ll contact you in case of anything."
With that, Ruth got in the car and left. She’d snuck out, so she couldn’t stay for long.
"Mr. Rhys, please have some tea." Mr. Robinson handed him a cup.
"Thank you."
Dustin accepted the cup with both hands and said, "Mr. Robinson, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you for the next few days."
"It’s no trouble. It’s what I should do." Edmund Robinson smiled. "Ms. Harmon saved me before, and my family is hugely grateful for her. Any opportunity to repay Ms. Harmon is my honor."
"Really? I didn’t know Natasha was so beloved," Dustin said with a chuckle.
"Why, of course!" Edmund said, his voice tinged with pride. "I watched Ms. Harmon grow up. No one can say anything about her character–no one in Millsburg can measure up to her!"
"I can tell." Dustin nodded, smiling.
"Mr. Rhys, look at me. I was all focused on chatting that I almost forgot to do my job. Have you eaten? Please wait a moment while I whip something up." Edmund said, hurrying into the kitchen and getting to work.
He looked like a proper househusband.
Dustin smiled softly. Sipping at the tea in his hand, he surveyed his surroundings.
