“Rosalynn, that's just fiction. How could something so perfect happen in real life?"

"Valeria, you know, scripts often draw inspiration from reality. Life can be even more dramatic at times!" Rosalynn said, her smile widening.

Valeria chuckled “Seems Like you're quite knowledgeable about scripts.”

Rosalynn raised an eyebrow, remaining silent.

Valeria let out another sigh.

“The main issue is that we didn't have a solid foundation before, and well, I'm older than him. Women age faster, you know? Plus, if I have to eat more to support the baby, I'LL end up gaining weight. And a year after the baby's born, I'm pretty sure I'll look less than glamorous. Rosalynn, what if we stroll down the street with our little one, and people mistake me for his mom and our child's grandma?"

"Ha-ha!" Rosalynn burst into Laughter, unable to hold it in.

"Valeria, you're so gorgeous. Let's not get carried away. Don't worry, he's not the shallow type. Besides, he never had a real family growing up, so he's drawn to older girls. You have nothing to fret about, seriously.”

Hearing that, Valeria glanced playfully at her and remarked, “You're right. He's quite fond of you!"

Amusement danced in Rosalynn's eyes as she gently touched Valeria's belly.

“Little one, can you believe it? Your mom is feeling jealous. Can you imagine that?"

Valeria chuckled, the worry in her heart melting away.

After washing the bowls, Hutton emerged from the kitchen, spotting the two engaged in conversation and laughter. Curious, he inquired, "What are you girls giggling about?"

Valeria glanced at him and replied, "Oh, we're just talking about you. You're such a riot."

Hutton nodded, saying, "Well, as long as you're happy."

The three of them continued chatting and Laughing for a while. After enjoying a meal together, Rosalynn bid her goodbyes and headed home.

Later in the evening, Brian returned.

A faint scent of alcohol lingered on his shirt, blending with his distinctive aroma, creating an intoxicating mix.

Rosalynn poured a glass of water for him and said, “Have some, it'll help.”

"Alright."

Brian took the water and sipped half a glass, weariness flickering in his eyes.

Rosalynn trailed behind him, her slender fingers gently massaging his temples.
