Internally, she chided Kyson.
He always ruined, never succeeded.
Why did he bring her up?
âYouâre too blunt.
Even if Lyndon had affections for Rosalynn, heâd never confess to you.
Heâs likely upset now,â Selina reproached him.
Kyson rubbed his head, admitting his fault, âI wasnât thinking.
â
âLet it be.
Just be more mindful going forward.
â Selinaâs voice softened.
âUnderstood.
â
Inside, Brian acknowledged Brendan with a nod.
They exchanged brief courtesies.
Noticing Brianâs sweat-drenched appearance, Gail offered, âBrian, perhaps youâd like a shower and fresh attire? We have spare clothes.
Iâll have someone lay them out for you.
â
Brian declined with courtesy, âI appreciate the offer.
We can switch things up once weâre back at the hotel.
â
Gailâs spirits dipped slightly upon hearing his words.
âIn Skrix, why chose a hotel? You both should spend the night here,â she suggested.
Glancing at Rosalynn, Brian replied firmly, âWe prefer the hotel, thanks.
â
âWhy the insistence on a hotel? Youâre not strangers here.
â
With a reassuring hold around Rosalynnâs waist, Brian explained, âItâs just to sidestep any rumors.
I wouldnât want Rosalynn to feel uncomfortable.
â
Rosalynn found herself at a loss for words.
How was this related to her?
She could honestly declare she felt completely fine!
Gail, taken aback, only grasped Brianâs intention when Selina came into view, understanding the ârumorsâ he mentioned.
She pressed no further.
âGo ahead, then.
Wash up and help yourselves to some sweets.
Dinner will be served shortly.
â
Acknowledging her, Brian let go of Rosalynn and headed to the restroom to wash up.
