Rosalynn turned to him, searching for any trace of his true trust in her, but his handsome face revealed no emotion.

She found herself unable to discern whether his trust was genuine or not.

Debora found solace in his reply, her heart somewhat at ease.

Noemi's discontent was evident as she voiced her objections.

“Brian, this is just his way of manipulating you into trusting Rosalynn and staying with her. Don't be foolish enough to believe him. He's jealous of you and has returned to seek revenge. I want you to divorce Rosalynn."

Brian's grip on Rosalynn's hand tightened, his face revealing no emotion as he spoke with unwavering determination.

“Mom, I will not divorce Rosalynn.”

Noemi's anger surged within her chest, causing it to rise and fall rapidly.

“Are you like your father who's easily distracted by looks? Will you only realize your mistake when it's too late?"

Frankie, who had remained silent thus far, was reminded of the past, and a shadow passed over his eyes, betraying a hint of pain

Collecting himself, he responded, "Noemi, let's not conflate the two matters. Rosalynn is Brian's wife, and as his wife, she would have no reason to harm him."

Noemi snapped, her anger blazing, “How can you be so sure that she has no reason? Perhaps she's another Adeline, deliberately getting close to Brian to fulfill someone else's agenda."

Adeline was Barlow's biological mother, who had been used as a pawn by Aldrich's biological father to manipulate Frankie.

Barlow, who had been absorbed in his phone, paused at Noemi's words.

His smile faded, and he glanced up at Frankie, sensing the pain in his eyes. His grip on the phone tightened, his dark eyes filled with a mix of emotions.

Debora let out a sigh and spoke, her voice laced with understanding.

“Noemi, I understand your concerns. I know you fear for Brian's well-being, but we shouldn't compare Rosalynn to Adeline.

In my eyes, Rosalynn is a good-hearted girl. She initiated the divorce and willingly gave up all her claims to the property. I purposely postponed the divorce proceedings without informing her. If she truly had malicious intentions towards Brian, she wouldn't have taken such actions.

They have built a good relationship now. As the elders, it's not our place to interfere in their affairs. Let them handle their own matters."

Noemi's heart was filled with a mixture of sadness and anger at Debora's words.

Memories of the past flooded her mind, causing her to unintentionally draw parallels between Rosalynn and Adeline.

She couldn't bear to see her son suffer once more at the hands of a woman.
