Brian studied Rosalynn's beautiful face and discerned that she had resolved not to reveal the truth to him.

He collected his thoughts, drew closer to her, and tenderly held her chin.

“Are you satisfied now?" He was referring to Eleanor.

Gazing into the man's dark eyes, Rosalynn slightly averted her gaze and responded, “Mm-hmm."

If she didn't need to uncover the truth behind John's death, she would have publicly exposed Eleanor's lie today and then shattered her career.

“That's it?" Brian traced her chin with his slender fingers.

"Darling, in the eyes of outsiders, I'm a jerk!"

He got Eleanor pregnant, only to abandon her. Wasn't he despicable?

“That's exactly what I want. Let's see who dares to pester you in the future? I will make her suffer!"

A hint of cunning sparkled in Rosalynn's eyes.

She could have told Brian that Eleanor impersonated her that night.

But she chose not to.

She aimed to make Brian feel indebted to her. In doing so, would he feel slightly better about the night she spent with Barlow?

She planned to reveal the truth once Barlow's plans came to fruition.

"You're so devious?" Brian slightly raised his eyebrows, a faint smile flickering in his eyes.

“Yes. Do you disapprove?" Rosalynn lifted her hand, her fingers Lightly brushing against his chest.

Brian's gaze deepened. He grasped her chin and leaned in to kiss her rosy lips.

"If you initiate, I'll find you even more appealing."

Rosalynn smiled, her fair fingers tracing the contours of his Adam's apple.

“How about I cater to you tonight?"

She desired to bring him joy and offer him solace.

Brian's Adam's apple bobbed, a flash of astonishment mirrored in his eyes.
