She saw an ice-cold drink on Karinaâs side and quickly requested,
âKarina, could you grab me a drink? Iâm parched.
â
Karina looked at her and said with a smile, âValeria, I dare not.
If Hutton catches me, Iâll be in big trouble.
â
âHe wouldnât!â Valeria grabbed Rosalynnâs hand and begged, ââRosalynn, how about you? Can I have a drink, please?â
Rosalynn chuckled.
âAlright, but donât drink too much.
â
âDeal, I promise it will be a tiny sip.
You are the best, Rosalynn!â
Valeria leaned over and planted a kiss on Rosalynnâs cheek, eliciting laughter from Karina and the others.

As they casually chatted, Sanfordâs phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at his phone and then at Rosalynn before answering the call.
âHello?â
After a brief exchange, Sanford handed the phone to Rosalynn, saying,
âRosalyn, itâs Brian.
â
What? Brian?
Had he now resorted to contacting her through Sanford?
Rosalynnâs heart sank as she took the phone and quietly stepped away from the group.
The once cheerful atmosphere took an abrupt turn.
Valeriaâs brow furrowed as she asked worriedly, âBrian didnât show up today.
Did they fight?â
Karina glanced at Rosalynnâs retreating figure and let out a resigned sigh.
âThe relationship between Brianâs mother and Rosalynn is difficult to deal with.
Valeria, you are lucky.
If you marry Hutton, you wonât have to deal with these troubles.
â
Maggie, who had been silent until now, nodded in agreement.
Sanford turned to Maggie and playfully pinched her hand.
