"Wait, Rosalynn. I'll go with you.”

Barlow was about to get up as well, but Sanford stopped him.

“How can you leave halfway through the meal? That's rather disrespectful!"

Barlow turned around to look at Sanford. Before he realized it, Brian had already stood up and followed Rosalynn out. Barlow chuckled to himself.

Instead of going after them, he settled back in his seat and resumed his meal.

"Do you intend to pursue Rosalynn?" Sanford asked after a moment.

Barlow paused in the act of pouring more wine into his glass. His eyes darkened.

“It's the normal thing to do when a man finds a woman attractive, isn't it?"

Outside, Rosalynn fished her phone from her purse and headed over to the cashier's desk to pay the bill. But before she could utter a word, Brian came up beside her and whipped out a black card, passing it over to the cashier.

“Let me pay for this.”

Rosalynn considered it for all of two seconds, then put her phone back.

They exited the restaurant one after another.

"Rosalynn, don't you want to know about the relationship between Barlow and me?" Brian asked.

Rosalynn slowed in her tracks.

“I can tell that you are brothers.”

"He is not a good man. You should stay away from him," Brian warned her.

Rosalynn strode past him to her car.

"I am not a child. | know what I'm doing.”

She didn't seem to care about it at all.

Brian grabbed her by the arm before she could slide into the driver's seat.

"What do you know? Do you enjoy the attention he's giving you? I'm telling you, Rosalynn, he approached you for a reason. He has an agenda, and a malicious one at that. Don't you believe for one second that he actually likes you.”

Rosalynn forcefully shook his hand away.
