âI fear you might put on a brave face.

âExactly.
We should place higher value on our friendships over our relationships.

Upon hearing this, Karina flashed a sudden smile.
âHow about you become my girlfriend? That way, I wonât have to wait for Rosalynn to get divorced.

Karinaâs heart fluttered.
She looked at him, attempting to gauge whether he was being sincere.
His charming eyes were filled with amusement, his usual playful smile dancing on his lips, making it hard to discern whether he was joking or not.
Feigning nonchalance, Karina retorted, âSure, I owe you a favor anyway.

Hearing this, Barlow appeared stunned.
His gaze fixed on her.
After a moment, he replied with a teasing grin, âYou agreed that quickly? Are you considering me as a backup? If so, Iâm not interested in being with you.
â
He wasnât interested in being with her?
Karina was swamped with mixed emotions.
She feigned indifference.
âWell, I donât want to be with you either!â
She couldnât fathom his thought process at all.
