Adeline was Barlowâs biological mother, who had been used as a pawn by Aldrichâs biological father to manipulate Frankie.
Barlow, who had been absorbed in his phone, paused at Noemiâs words.
His smile faded, and he glanced up at Frankie, sensing the pain in his eyes.
His grip on the phone tightened, his dark eyes filled with a mix of emotions.
Debora let out a sigh and spoke, her voice laced with understanding.
âNoemi, I understand your concerns.
I know you fear for Brianâs well-being, but we shouldnât compare Rosalynn to Adeline.
In my eyes, Rosalynn is a good-hearted girl.
She initiated the divorce and willingly gave up all her claims to the property.
I purposely postponed the divorce proceedings without informing her.
If she truly had malicious intentions towards Brian, she wouldnât have taken such actions.
They have built a good relationship now.
As the elders, itâs not our place to interfere in their affairs.
Let them handle their own matters.

Memories of the past flooded her mind, causing her to unintentionally draw parallels between Rosalynn and Adeline.
She couldnât bear to see her son suffer once more at the hands of a woman.

Letâs focus on enjoying our meal.

It was clear that Debora didnât wish to delve deeper into the topic, preferring to avoid any further discussion on the matter.
Frankie had regained his composure.
He rang the bell and asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Before long, the waiters waiting beyond the door began to bring in the dishes, setting them on the table one by one.
Noemiâs expression grew stormy.
With the topic now closed, a sense of disappointment washed over Selina.
She took a look at Barlow, her eyes flickering.
What did Barlow mean?
Why did he vouch for Rosalynn?
It was possible he had feelings for Rosalynn too, and they must have had sex that night.
