Rosalynn admitted, "I was so incensed at that moment. There was no time to consult him."

Above all, she believed that if she had brought it up, he would have surely forbidden her from retaliating.

And if she held back, Barlow would have taken it upon himself to respond.

If Barlow intervened, the situation could spiral.

It was better to give Noemi a lesson herself.

So, she took action and chose to seek understanding rather than permission.

"You two must have butted heads over this, didn't you?" Gail inquired.

Rosalynn's lips formed a tight line as she remained silent.

Gail's smile emerged, teasing, “You appear serene, yet there's a fiery temper beneath, reminiscent of a young Noemi."

Was her temper really akin to Noemi's?

That couldn't be the case!

Rosalynn's brow creased in objection.

"I am not as illogical as her.”

Gail's laughter spilled out, unrestricted.

"I'm not saying your actions were incorrect. However, acting without consulting Brian isn't quite right.

"Keep in mind, she's your mother-in-law, your husband's mom. You should take Brian's emotions into account, shouldn't you?"

Her tone was soft and coaxing.

Rosalynn remained wordless, yet she absorbed her words.

If it were in the past, she could have brushed off such advice.

But with the passing days, she had come to recognize the wrongfulness of her actions.
