Chapter 2166: Chapter 2169

Her voice was soft and a bit clingy, adding a touch of vulnerability to her words.

Brian’s heart melted, wishing he could rush to her and hold her close.

“How about I come back now?”

His voice, gravelly but soft, pierced the quiet.

Rosalynn exhaled heavily.

“Let’s just tough it out until we get rid of those villains.

”

At Rosalynn’s words, Brian felt a warmth spread within him, mingled with a hint of guilt.

“I’m sorry.

I love you, honey,” he expressed sincerely.

“Just drop the first part,” Rosalynn said with a playful tone.

Chuckling, Brian replied, “Okay,

honey, I love you.

”

“Well, I’m hanging up now,” Rosalynn announced, ready to end the call.

“Hold on a moment,” Brian interjected hastily.

“Is there something else?” Rosalynn inquired.

“Honey, I just told you I love you,” Brian stressed.

“I heard,” came Rosalynn’s nonchalant reply.

Brian raised his eyebrows.

“Aren’t you going to say it back?” he queried.

After a brief pause, Rosalynn countered with a teasing tone, “Do you always need a return on your investments?”

Brian was left speechless, unable to conjure a retort.

A soft laugh echoed through the phone, followed by the unmistakable sound of a kiss.

“Honey, I love you too,” Rosalynn finally conceded softly.

Even through the distance, her affection radiated, enveloping Brian in its warmth.

Realizing she was teasing him again, Brian’s eyes softened with tenderness as he blew a kiss in return.

“Honey, I heard it,” he affirmed gently.

“I’m hanging up now.

Mom’s calling me for dinner,” Rosalynn announced.

“Okay,” Brian acknowledged, waiting patiently until Rosalynn ended the call before setting his phone aside.

Despite his fatigue, he felt rejuvenated and at peace as he gazed out at the night sky.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Gail glanced at Rosalynn and inquired, “Was that Brian?”

“Yes,” Rosalynn confirmed.
