Poor Robert, he just want to have a family around him. And he genuinely like Serena and thought he could trust his cousin.
That’s why it’s understandable that he feels hurt and betrayed now. Him refusing the good-bye hug from Serena, but still lingering there even after she drives away was devastating to watch. Once again kudos to Ryan to bless us with such nuanced portrayal of Robert.
(P.S.: something tells me Serena and he are gonna be alright.)
