She moved a step closer, attempting to straighten Brianâs shirt apologetically.
âItâs fine,â Brian replied softly, ringing the doorbell soon after.
From the first-floor window, Rosalynn watched the scene unfold, her face growing stormier with each passing second.
She had vowed to trust Brian, so why was her heart twisting uncomfortably at their intimate interaction?
As the door swung open, Brian and Selina made their way inside, one after the other.
âWeâre back.
Rosalynn, youâre still here?â Selina chimed cheerfully as she slipped off her shoes.
Her demeanor mimicked that of a hostess casually speaking to a guest.
âIâm waiting for my husband,â Rosalynn replied curtly, her gaze briefly flickering to Brianâs chest.
His shirt was damp, evidence that a woman had nestled against his chest.
âHas Grandma gone to bed?â Brian asked softly.
âYes,â Rosalynn recovered quickly and responded.
âJust a moment.
IâLL go say goodnight to her,â Brian declared.
Before Rosalynn could respond, Selina was quick to interject, âBrian, let me accompany you to wish Debora a goodnight.
â
Suppressing her frustration, Rosalynn wrapped her arm around Brianâs and offered, âLet me join you.
â
âAlright.
â
Brian raised an eyebrow and led Rosalynn to Deboraââs bedroom.
Selina watched Rosalynnâs retreating back, the smile melting away from her face.
Her eyes burned with an intense cocktail of jealousy and resentment.

Selina was adamant that Brianâs love for her hadnât vanished.
His interest in Rosalynn was simply because she was new.
She was determined to reclaim what she believed was rightfully hers.
After bidding Debora farewell, Brian and Rosalynn exited the room.
As they left the villa, Rosalynn disentangled her arm from Brianâs.
Under the soft glow of the moon, Rosalynnâs face was an unreadable mask.
Brian felt his heart race as he slipped his arm around her waist.
âAre you upset?â he inquired softly.
Annoyed, she shrugged off his hand.
âKeep your distance, Brian.
You reek.
â
The mix of alcohol and another womanâs scent was enough to make her stomach churn.
Brian, a tad bewildered, Lifted his arm to take a whiff.
The hint of Selinaâs perfume was unmistakable.
He couldnât help but raise an amused brow at the realization.
Rosalynn, he concluded, was unmistakably jealous.
