Brian replied, his voice solemn.
Lyndon lapsed into silence before sighing.
âIâm sorry.
â
Despite Noemiâs unfathomable actions, he couldnât shake the feeling of remorse.
He never knew living in the Moreno family would have such serious consequences.
Perched on the edge of the bed, Brian said in a low voice, âWell, remember to stay away from my wife.
Donât cause any more disruptions in our lives.
â
âIâm marrying Tilda,â Lyndon announced.
Brian turned towards Lyndon, surprised.
âYouâre marrying Tilda? Has she agreed?â
âYes.
Her mother just passed away.
Weâve decided to move forward with the marriage certificate,â Lyndon explained.
Brian was taken aback once more, but he nodded in understanding after a brief moment, opting not to probe further.
âCongratulations,â he said blankly, looking away.
As long as Lyndon kept his distance from Rosalynn, Brian had no issues with him.
âWhy donât you try to quell the rumors?â Lyndon inquired, his tone cool.
Brianâs eyes gleamed coldly.
âThereâs always a puppet master pulling the strings behind the scenes, stoking the flames of these rumors.
Itâs causing the news to flare up once again.
â
Lyndonâs eyes narrowed slightly.
âIs someone trying to undermine you and Rosalynn?â
Given their backgrounds in the business world, they both possessed acute intuition.
âYes.
â Brian confirmed.
âDo you need my assistance?â
Brian met his gaze and replied, âThe best way you can assist me is by keeping your distance from my wife.
â
It was a refrain he had uttered many times before.
âBrian, I understand your concerns, but that request is a bit excessive.
Rosalynn and I are innocent.
Your mother is the one spreading these false accusations.
Itâs unreasonable to expect Rosalynn not to have any male friends.
Canât she even maintain platonic relationships?â Lyndon retorted.
Brianâs breath caught in his throat.
âRegardless, I insist that you keep your distance from my wife.
Donât complicate matters any further.
â
Lyndon regarded Brianâs icy demeanor, then glanced at the figure of Noemi lying on the bed.
Choosing not to delve deeper into the matter, he addressed him sternly.
âBrian, I trust youâll handle your relationship with Rosalynn responsibly.
Donât cause her any pain or distress.
Iâll be keeping an eye on you.
â
With that, he turned and left the room.
As the door closed behind Lyndon, Brianâs expression grew even colder.
