Chapter 693:

Her smile lingered, unable to fade. She felt fortunate beyond words.

Her thoughts wandered to whether she should assist Rhys in meeting the challenges posed by her brothers.

Rhys chuckled.

He was used to being in control and had already noticed the shift in Harlee’s feelings toward him after the gunfight.

Her emotions for him had deepened beyond mere affection.

With a teasing smile, he gazed down at the woman in his arms.

“I’m remarkable, aren’t I? Are you thinking of claiming me entirely for yourself?”

Harlee’s eyes gleamed. Keeping him all to herself sounded like a good idea.

With a laugh, Rhys playfully tapped her nose.

“Hold onto that thought. I have to win over your brothers first.

As for becoming exclusively yours… Let’s revisit that once I’ve earned the right to marry you.”

“Alright…” Her voice carried a trace of disappointment.

Smiling warmly, Rhys pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead and said, “For now, watch some TV. I’ll handle lunch.”

With reluctance, he ran his fingers through her hair before stepping away.

Instead of watching television, Harlee headed to the study. The situation with Robbie still wasn’t fully resolved.

After being rescued from the container, Robbie remained weak, struggling to speak without gasping for breath.

Fixing her gaze on the screen, Harlee noticed Robbie’s weary expression and frowned.

“So, you’ve given up?”

Tonya, who was in Breezeland, couldn’t arrive immediately but was already on her way. Robbie, knowing Tonya might identify the root of his condition, seemed less defeated than before. Yet, the memory of being captured so easily weighed heavily on him.

He blamed himself for holding back the team, forcing Harlee to seek outside assistance.

Seeing the guilt etched on Robbie’s face, Harlee’s eyes flickered with thoughtfulness. She didn’t blame him. Instead, she said, “You have two weeks.

After that, you’ll be in charge of stabilizing Uwhor.”

She had always believed Robbie was the most optimistic and lively member of the Shadow Moon Society.

But now… Perhaps she had been wrong. The brightest smiles often concealed the heaviest burdens.

Robbie was taken aback by her directive. Stabilize Uwhor? Could he manage that? Harlee never made errors in judgment. She always made the right decision. If she trusted him to bring order to Uwhor, then why had he been captured so effortlessly? Had he overlooked something crucial?

Robbie replayed the events in his mind and finally spoke hesitantly.

“Harlee, I think something isn’t right.”

“What do you mean? Anything amiss?” Harlee asked, her brow furrowed.

Robbie nodded and then recounted every detail, from blacking out to awakening in the container.

By the end, he identified something peculiar.
