Chapter 1540:


    A wave of warmth washed over Christina, her expression softening into a truly affectionate smile.


    From that day on, she decided she would consider Robin as family. Even without sharing blood, the Millers were her family in every way that mattered.


    At Scott Group.


    Dn,pletely focused on his work, didn’t look up as Edwin’s hesitant voice filled the office.


    “Sir…” Edwin stammered nervously.


    “Speak,” Dn said coldly, his eyes still on the documents before him.


    After a brief, anxious pause, Edwin continued. “The argument between you and Mr. Miller is the number one trending topic. It’s all over the news.”


    Beyond Dn and Robin, the public was buzzing about a mysterious third man—the supposed third corner of the love triangle, based on Robin’s earlier ims.


    The dramatic “love-and-hate” saga among the three men had sparked intense spection among gossip-hungryizens. The public had an insatiable appetite for scandal, and this one was too juicy to ignore.


    Dn did not even bother raising his head, showing no interest in the escting tension unfolding before him.


    “Should we deal with this, sir?” Edwin asked respectfully, awaiting Dn’s instruction.


    “Leave him,” Dn answered dismissively.


    “Understood,” Edwin confirmed before turning to leave, his expression puzzled.


    He truly could not tell whether Dn intended to y along with the fake “romance” Robin was attempting to stage. Though Edwin could not guess the reason, he trusted that Dn had a deeper strategy in allowing the drama to continue.


    Soon after Edwin left, Dn’s phone chimed with a new message.


    Recognizing the distinct notification tone, he immediately set aside his work and picked up the phone.


    M?????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????


    Seeing it was from Christina, his lips curved into a genuine, unmistakable smile. Christina had actually texted him—that simple fact alone filled him with happiness.


    Even a casual greeting from the woman he loved was enough to bring him pure joy.


    “Busy at work?” the message read.


    Dn’s smile widened at her simple question.


    Since she had reentered his life, he found himself smiling more often, and each smile felt more real than thest.


    Whether she sent a question, a yful emoji, or even an idental voice message, everything about her brought him contentment.


    After a brief nce at the unfinished proposal on his desk, Dn gave a soft chuckle and began typing his reply. “Not too busy. Chrissie, I really miss you.”


    “Miss you too,” Christina replied instantly, adding a winking emoji.


    Before Dn could respond further, another notification arrived—this time a screenshot of a news article.


    The photo showed Robin sitting on the ground clutching his leg, while Dn leaned over him, aggressively gripping Robin’s cor.
