âYou seem tortured, Barlow.
Why not just tell her the truth? Both of you care for each other, and I know Karinaâs character well enough to say she doesnât shy away from challenges.
Why canât the two of you face this together?â
Engrossed in his phone, Barlow refused.
âNo, Iâm used to handling things on my own.
â
Perhaps one day, when his world became secure, he would have the courage to pursue her.
Meanwhile, a short distance away, Brian remained silent in the driverâs seat.
His thin lips tightened as he observed the car in front of him.
The soft, yellow light cast a glow upon the vehicle, illuminating his icy gaze.
After a moment, he retrieved his phone and dialed Rosalynnâs number.
The call connected swiftly, and Rosalynnâs pleasant voice echoed from the receiver.
âBrian.
â
âWhere are you?â
âIâLL be home soon.
And you? Are you still at the hotel?â
Brianâs eyes darkened.
âNo, Iâm almost home.
â
âAlright .
â
After ending the call, Brian gazed at Rosalynnâs car and a self-mocking smile formed on his face.
Why did he feel as though he was increasingly resembling a coward?
Selinaâs words struck a chord.
He had become so infatuated with Rosalynn that he had abandoned his principles.
Inside the car, Rosalynn pocketed her phone and opened the door.
âWell, Iâm heading back now.
You should go too.
â
Barlow sported a mischievous grin.
âRosalynn, does your husband truly not take the video seriously? He didnât seem to be in a good mood.
If he ever resorts to domestic violence, remember to inform me.
If you ever want a divorce, Iâll be by your side and I can whisk you away at any time.
â
Rosalynn cast a brief glance at him and chose to ignore his comment.

They both stepped out of the car, parting ways without another word.
After Rosalynn arrived home and changed into comfortable clothes, Brian returned.
fouâre back?â Rosalynn remarked, taking a sip from her glass of water.
âYes,â Brian replied, sitting on the sofa and unbuttoning his shirt.
His expression remained stoic, and a chill seemed to hang in the air, leaving an inexplicable sense of gloom.
Sensing his sour mood, Rosalynn decided to pour him a glass of water.
