After concluding the video call, Gail turned her attention to Brian.
âBrian, your mother still bears a grudge.
â
Brian wore a solemn expression.
He remained silent, acknowledging the truth in his heart.
Gail then stood, announcing, âIâm going to freshen up.
You two can talk.
â
She refrained from delving into the matter with her longtime friend.
She aspired to engage in a heart-to-heart conversation with Noemi, serving as a mediator upon Noemiâs arrival in Skrix.
Observing Gail ascend the stairs, Brian focused on Rosalynnâs countenance.
âHoney, whatâs on your mind?â
He feared that her happiness had been compromised.
Rosalynn gazed up at him, saying, âIâm pondering your mother.
What if she always harbors ill feelings towards me?â
Brian tenderly caressed her smooth face with his slender fingers, assuring, âDonât fret.
Iâm by your side.
â
Arching her eyebrows, Rosalynn remarked, âWhy do I sense a hint of unreliability in you?â
Brian was left without words.
Was he truly unreliable?
âIn what way am I unreliable?â
âIs it considered reliable to obtain a fake divorce certificate?â
Rosalynn withdrew from his touch, rising to her feet.
âBrian, donât you understand that giving people hope and then letting them down only exacerbates their feelings?â
Brian maintained a silent acknowledgment, nodding.
âI comprehend it was a mistake.
â
Back then, swayed by his sisterâs persuasion and fearful of his motherâs extreme reactions, he had acquiesced to his sisterâs proposal without contemplating the repercussions.
âWell, Iâm feeling tired.
Iâm heading to bed.
â
Rosalynn opted not to dwell on the matter further and made her way upstairs for some rest.
Certain issues couldnât be resolved overnight.
