Struggling to regain his balance, Hutton witnessed Brian already holding Rosalynn protectively in his arms.
âListen up, even if youâre my brother-in-law, my patience has its limits,â Brian declared in a detached yet menacing tone.
Rubbing his throbbing wrist, Hutton couldnât help but retort, âBack when we were children, Rosalynn and I even shared a bed.
Shouldnât you invent a time machine and travel to the past if you want to pick a fight with me?â
Darkness flickered in Brianâs eyes.
âHutton, I couldnât care less about the past.
All I know is that she is mine now.
Please learn to respect boundaries.
â
Hutton choked on his words.
âBrian, youâre despicable!â
âIf you canât stand it, youâre free to leave,â Brian raised an eyebrow challengingly.
âNo way! Iâll make you sick to your stomach!â Hutton retorted, unwilling to back down.
Witnessing the two of them bickering incessantly, Rosalynn hurriedly intervened, trying to put an end to the squabble.
âAlright, are you both done now? Seriously, youâre acting like children.
And you, Mr.
CEO, why are you being so petty?â Rosalynn shot an annoyed glare at Brian before making her way to the bedroom to gather her belongings.
âHutton, Iâm off to work.
Do whatever you want.
â
âSure thing, Rosalynn.
Iâll be eagerly awaiting your cooking tonight,â
Hutton responded with a smile.

Brian glanced at him, catching the provocation in his eyes.
It was hard to decipher the emotions playing across his face.
The two of them walked out the door and headed to the elevator.
As the elevator doors opened, they were greeted by Maggieâs presence.
âGood morning, Rosalynn and Mr.
Hughes.
â
âMorning, Maggie.
Youâre right on time.
â
Rosalynn handed Maggie a breakfast, She had invited Maggie to join them for breakfast.
However, Maggie had been too embarrassed to agree.
âThank you, Rosalynn,â Maggie replied gratefully, accepting the breakfast.
Rosalynn noticed that Maggieâs right hand still appeared slightly red and swollen.
âMaggie, your hand is injured.
How about taking a day off and resting at home?â
âNo need, itâs not a big deal,â Maggie smiled, dismissing the injury as insignificant .
As the elevator descended, the three of them remained silent, lost in their own thoughts.
