Chapter 228 - Your wish is my command, dear one.

To dine with her family before making progress in the relationship? Daniel paused in his steps and turned around, not expecting that invitation, and smiled,1

"I won't refuse if you invite me."

Lizzy smiled shyly, "So, I'm inviting you." 

She caught up to him and held him by the hand, as Daniel's heart warmed and he said,

"Thank you."

At the dining table, Cobby was surprised but happy to see Daniel. 

From his experience, he always believed that everyone had to be given a chance and no man was beyond help if they indeed wanted to be helped.

"How have you been, Daniel?" Cobby asked since he remembered Daniel from the hospital and also knew that he was Robin's best friend.

"I've been doing great sir," Daniel said politely, Cobby felt strange. 

Dining at the same table, he did not understand the reason why he was being addressed as sir.

"If you are having dinner with us, then you are part of the family. Call me dad."

Daniel was super excited, smiling broadly and liking Cobby even more. 

The man was indeed a great father and Daniel could also understand the reason why Robin changed so much after forcing himself into Sabrina's life again.

Cobby was a good man and no man in his right sense would want to offend him. 

Due to that, the kindness he shows always bounces back to him through the happiness of his children.

"Thank you, Dad," Daniel said with genuine gratitude.

Cobby turned his attention to Robin, acting as if he was not aware of Robin's arrangements, and said,

"Robin, Sabrina tells me that you are inviting Zayla to the party."

Robin bobbed his head before responding,

"Yes, Dad but I won't bother you with the details since the party is just tomorrow."

Cobby did not know the details of Robin's plans so he could not help being worried, though Robin had changed so much.

"Robin, I don't want her to get hurt again," Cobby warned subtly.

Robin smiled, looked at Sabrina, and said,

"I promise I will never do anything to upset her. Her happiness is my greatest concern and it's even more important to me than mine."

Sabrina was trying to keep calm. She was even trying to forget everything but sadly, she still had a weakness whenever Zayla's name was mentioned.

She already felt that her birthday party, which Robin insisted on celebrating for her, was not going to be a happy one because of Zayla's presence but since Robin had insisted, she had no say.

However, she was also determined to make Zayla suffer what she suffered, thereby requesting,

"If my happiness matters to you, then I don't want to see you with Zayla after the party. You can only go with her for her antenatal checks."

Robin smiled, glad that Sabrina had no clue of the reason why he was bringing Zayla over, and said humbly,

"Your wish is my command, dear one."

Daniel and Devin smiled internally, having a hint of what was going to happen but the women had gloomy expressions.

After dinner, Robin took Sabrina for her usual walk, and whilst at it, he said, 

"You look beautiful."

Sabrina rolled her eyes but did not respond. Robin had gotten that reaction before so he did not mind and confirmed,

"I don't care if you believe me but it's the truth. I never thought you would rock a scarf like that."

Sabrina stared at him, saw the seriousness in his eyes but still did not respond, feeling that if she did, then he wouldn't stop talking.

After the walk, Robin went to the penthouse, surprised to be met with a candle-lit dinner. 

He had kept so long that Zayla had dozed off on the sofa, curled like a ball and the candles were almost ready to go off after melting to the bottom.

Robin went to his room but since it hadn't been cleaned for weeks, it made him uncomfortable so he spent the next twenty minutes cleaning his room before putting all the needed documents together.

He laid on the bed but sleep eluded him until he brought out his phone and began to watch Sabrina's pictures.

As his mind glazed with memories of Sabrina, he fell into a deep sleep, waking up to Daniel's call the next morning, which was the day of the party.

"Robin, are you going to pick Sabrina?"

"No, I will be coming with Zayla," Robin said honestly, Daniel smiled and responded over the phone,

"Then I would go and bring Lizzy." He still could not get over the kiss they shared and was upset with himself for booking their date to next week. 

He should have made it Sunday.

"All the best and look your best," Robin said before he remembered something and asked, "Can you do me a big favor?"

Daniel was reluctant at the end of the line since he knew that Robin was in the penthouse. 

Daniel abhorred the evil woman there so much and responded,

"Anything that doesn't have to do with Zayla."

Robin chuckled. He wanted to do it himself before but then, who would keep an eye on Zayla? Also, he wanted her to feel that she already has everything, only to realize that she lost everything including her life.

"It has to do with her father."

"You still ruined my mood but what is it?" Daniel asked with irritation in his voice.

"I want to send you Zayla's father's address and suit size. You buy him a nice suit and bring him to the party."

Daniel was not liking this. To be the chauffeur of an evil man? Then what about Lizzy?

"So, you don't want me to bring Lizzy."

"You never arranged with her anyway but you still get to send her home. Also, I need you to keep an eye on the man when you arrive at the party. Be nice to him and make sure he doesn't suspect anything," Robin stated.

Daniel let out a humorless chuckle, since he was not good at pretending but because he was only escorting the old man to face judgment, he agreed.

"Oh, Robin, you are so lucky you are my best friend."

"I know right?" Robin smiled and spoke.
