Rosalynn was left utterly speechless by her friendâs audacious declaration.
Once she had seen Brianâs striking features, all the other men seemed to have faded into the background as far as she was concerned.
âThank you, but you should keep those handsome men for yourself.
â
Karina raised an eyebrow and retorted, âYou are not into good-looking young men? I happen to know a few wealthy men, each one as impressive as Brian is.
You can choose whoever you Like.
â
Rosalynn couldnât help but laugh.
âAlright, once Iâm divorced, Iâll ask you to introduce me to another man.
â
When Karina heard this, her expression turned serious.
âRosalynn, is Brian really planning to divorce you?â
Rosalynn hesitated briefly, her gaze fixed on her clasped hands.
âIâm not sure.
His mother had a severe bout of depression yesterday and nearly took her own life.
He rushed her back to Folkava overnight.
â
Karina looked taken aback.
âSuicide? That sounds incredibly serious.
â
âYes, it was.
â
Karina let out a sigh and reached out to pat Rosalynnâs hand.
âRosalynn, even though Brianâs mother might not be deserving of sympathy, I canât help but feel a twinge of guilt as the other woman if you and Brian end up splitting over this.
â
The other woman?
Rosalynn, who had initially been feeling down, found herself amused by Karina.
âSo, if I get divorced, you, as the other woman, are going to take responsibility for me.
â
âAlright, Iâll be there for you through thick and thin!â Karina chuckled.
They bantered back and forth, their laughter echoing as they entered the building.
They took the elevator to Huttonâs technology company.
Inside, the office seemed unusually quiet, with only Hutton and Valeria present.
Hutton was tenderly assisting Valeria with her coat and having an animated conversation with her.
