âHutton, Valeria,â Rosalynn greeted the couple with a warm smile.
Karina waved a friendly hello to both of them.
âRosalyn, Karina,â Hutton replied, his face lighting up.
Rosalynn and Karina presented the gifts they had brought and offered their well wishes.
âIâm so glad youâre here.
â Hutton accepted the gifts graciously.
Valeria pulled Rosalynn and Karina close to her as if they were her saviors.
âRosalyn, Karina, you have no idea how glad I am to see you.
â
Seeing Valeriaâs bitter expression, Karina asked, âWhat happened? Did Hutton bully you?â
Hutton, who had just finished putting away the gifts, interjected,
âI didnât do anything.
â
Valeria shot him an annoyed look.
âOh, come on! You discipline me as if I were a child.
You even follow me to the bathroom.
I feel Like a prisoner in my own life.
Rosalynn, Karina, look at this.
Itâs scorching outside, and he insists I wear this coat.
I have zero freedom!â
Valeria continued her tirade.
Hutton, his face a picture of innocence, retorted, âValeria, Iâm just looking out for your safety.
You are carrying our child, after all.
You must be safe.
â
Valeria couldnât help but chuckle and turned to Rosalynn and Karina.
âSee what I mean? He is always playing the âitâs for your own goodâ card, but itâs more like heâs imprisoning my soul!â
Rosalynn and Karina exchanged amused glances and burst into laughter.
Seeing Valeriaâs increasing irritation, Hutton quickly tried to appease her.
âAlright, alright, itâs all my fault.
Donât get angry.
â
Valeria shot him another glare.
âFine, just stay away from me, and I wonât get angry.
â
Hutton couldnât help but smile.
