Adam Thrown Out in the Middle of the Night
Three days later.
Night falls.
Friends Bar.
"Adam".
Lily waved to Adam.
"Just you? Where's Marshall?"
Adam sat down and asked curiously.
Marshall and Lily have always been inseparable, and it's rare to see them acting alone.
"He has a paper to finish."
Lily laughed and said, "Besides, I'm getting married soon, so I'll have a lot to do."
Congratulations! May the lovers finally be united in marriage.
Adam said with delight.
Marshall and Lily got engaged last year and are getting married this April. They are still two months away from their wedding and are currently making final preparations.
"Hehe."
Lily's smile seemed a little forced.
"What's wrong? Are you experiencing pre-wedding jitters?"
Adam glanced at her.
"No."
Lily waved her hand to cover up, saying, "Let's not talk about us, let's talk about you. I heard you were kicked out of bed and thrown out of your house in the middle of the night, Adam Duncan, you've finally met your match!"
"Don't even mention it."
Adam could only manage a wry smile.
"Tell me about it."
Lily gossiped, "I heard Robin yelling at you all night long, buddy, you really pissed her off this time."
"You already know, so what's there to say?"
Adam said awkwardly.
"I'd like to hear your explanation."
Lily laughed and said, "Perhaps Robin has misunderstood you?"
"You really think so?"
Adam rolled his eyes. "You just want to hear more gossip!"
Can't I listen?
Lily said matter-of-factly, "My Sheldon are still ringing because of you."
How's Ted doing lately?
Adam changed the subject.
"Don't change the subject."
Lily interrupted, "Let's start with how naturally you said 'Sorry, it's a habit' to Robin."
"Well."
Adam sighed, "This is the lesson!"
The story begins when Heather came to adopt Tatiana, and Juno and Karen came to organize a party so everyone could celebrate this joyous occasion.
Afterwards, Heather stayed for two days, accompanying Tatiana on a tour of New York.
After Heather left.
Robin summons at night.
Adam went there.
Then, the two had a major disagreement in their daily discussions about the continuation of humanity.
Robin was momentarily stunned by Adam's powerful retort.
However, afterwards, Robin flew into a rage, cursing Adam while rummaging through drawers and cabinets to carry out Plan B, wishing she could shoot Adam dead immediately.
Adam vaguely remembered that Robin, like Monica, held a pessimistic view of the continuation of humanity, and that Robin was more radical than Monica.
Monica is physically pessimistic but mentally positive.
Robin, on the other hand, was extremely pessimistic, both physically and mentally.
So, Adam, who didn't think much of it, casually said, "Sorry, it's a habit..."
This meaningful remark immediately ignited Robin's anger, and he immediately went to fight Adam.
Emmm.
He's really giving it his all!
Upon seeing this, Adam realized he had spoken out of turn and truly angered Robin. He had no choice but to retreat tactically, only to be kicked out of Robin's house in the middle of the night, experiencing this legendary ordeal for the first time.
However, this also served as a wake-up call for Adam.
I was careless.
Heather's visit these past few days has lulled him into a false sense of security, making him forget that Heather is special.
Fortunately, this time it was Robin, whose body and spirit had both despaired of the continuation of humanity; if it were Paige ...
He didn't want to create a future monarch who was perhaps more handsome and intelligent than him and who would compete with him for beautiful women—a 'superiorly intelligent and benevolent' monarch.
"Adam, you're such a bastard."
Lily exclaimed, "How could anyone say something like that?"
"I really didn't mean to."
Adam lamented, "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Alas, this is so hard for me!"
Have you figured out how to apologize to Robin?
Lily rolled her eyes at him.
"Wait until she calms down?"
Adam was very straightforward.
Clap clap clap!
Lily clapped her hands and looked at Adam with the eyes of someone looking at a magical creature. "You really think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome."
"It's mainly because I'm in good health."
Adam added reservedly.
"..."
Lily's lips twitched. "Robin is really angry this time. You think you can just wait for her to calm down on her own? That's probably not going to work. Robin isn't an ordinary woman."
"I know."
Adam nodded.
Robin is indeed extraordinary; she is a mutated hybrid of Robin Sparkle and Robin Knife, capable of transforming at any time. She was previously in the Robin Knife form.
If she hadn't been without a knife, she probably would have stabbed Adam.
"She seems indifferent to relationships."
Lily continued, "She knows you're a playboy, but she's still willing to hang out with you. However, she's actually a very possessive person."
"This..."
Adam hesitated before replying, "It's alright."
He remembered that Robin and Alice had fought twice, and the second time it was she who suggested it.
"Believe me."
Lily, with an air of authority, said, "After Robin became my best friend, she was very concerned about me having other female friends. How could she not be possessive?"
"Uh, okay."
Adam thought about it and agreed with this view.
Robin's second suggestion to fight Alice was more out of revenge. After thoroughly bullying Alice, he left without a second thought.
Afterwards, no matter how much Adam hinted, she didn't respond.
She almost lost her temper when the implication was even a little too explicit.
I didn't contact Adam for a long time after that.
Looking back now, if her younger sister Katie hadn't come over, and she hadn't needed to find a reliable scumbag as a role model to scare her sister, the two of them probably would have ended up completely.
On the surface, she didn't care about Adam's reputation for womanizing, but that was only because she didn't want to see it.
Once she found out, she cared more than anyone else.
This time, Adam casually said a meaningful "Sorry, it's a habit," directly revealing the fact that Adam was not Alice only "good friend."
Because she knew that he had never had this bad habit, whether it was with Alice or with her before!
Both old and new grudges made it impossible for her to tolerate.
"Now you understand, right? She's really angry this time."
Lily nodded in satisfaction. "It's impossible for her to calm down on her own. You need to apologize to make her calm down. So, what are you going to do?"
"Cold salad".
Adam said honestly.
"What?!"
Lily's eyes widened.
"You said yourself that Robin has a strong personality."
Adam asked sincerely, "Do you think she will accept the current apology before I'm ready to take things further with her?"
"No... then can't you take things a step further with her?"
"Lily called out."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Adam sighed, "What she wants, I can't give her."
In his mind, Robin wouldn't even rank in the top three of his female best friends. How could he possibly cut off everything for her?
Robin is not Xiao Longnü.
He is not Yang Guo either.
Moreover, he remembered that in the original timeline, when Robin helped Ted pick up girls, she used a trick called Versailles's hint that the other woman broke up with Ted because Ted had a physical problem, which was too exaggerated.
Emmm.
Ted, that's just nonsense she made up.
However, Adam did have a physical ailment.
Every drink and every bite, is it all preordained?
This can be considered a prophetic statement... even though it's from a parallel universe.
"Then you..."
Lily was very disappointed.
Robin is her best friend, Adam is her good friend, so naturally she hopes they can be together.
Let nature take its course.
Adam laughed and said, "You said yourself that Robin is no ordinary woman. She doesn't need you to worry about her. Maybe I've already become one of those people who are all lovey-dovey one second and dead in her eyes the next."
"You're such a jerk."
Lily sighed, "You know perfectly well that your charm is so strong, and that you're completely different from others."
"It was my fault."
Adam laughed and said, "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about you and Marshall. You two can't afford to have any problems."
Lily's face froze instantly.
