Rosalynn persuaded, "It's true Hutton shouldn't have left during arguments. However, about him being with another woman-I think that's a misunderstanding. Remember, this is his first serious relationship; he's still learning. Disagreements happen in every relationship.”

Valeria shook her head again, her decision unwavering.

“Misunderstanding or not, that's for him to know. What I do know is that he's immature and overly possessive. He even invaded my privacy. I might have endured that, but I cannot forgive his infidelity."

She paused to steady her breath, her resolve clear. "I'm done. We're simply not right for each other."

Rosalynn frowned slightly, recalling her conversation with Hutton.

He had explained a lot, but she didn't press him further about that female colleague of his. Because she had always believed in Hutton, assuming the alleged affair was a misunderstanding.

Yet, Valeria's revelations suggested there might be more to the story.

Rosalynn ventured cautiously, “Isn't that woman merely a colleague of Hutton's?"

Valeria's expression chilled further. "No, she's his alumnae and has been pursuing him for years. She started an internship at his company two months ago, and I've caught them flirting more than once."

She pondered the situation but struggled to accept that Hutton could be unfaithful.

“But Hutton isn't that type of man. Did you actually catch them together intimately?"

Hutton had confessed to Rosalynn that he had drunk too much the previous night, and the woman had taken advantage of his inebriated state. However, nothing had happened between them.

It was merely unfortunate timing that Valeria walked in on them.

Valeria responded with a bitter laugh, “Rosalynn, my time in the entertainment industry has shown me the true colors of men. Men have urges they sometimes can't control. If they lack restraint, they succumb to temptation. Hutton is young and full of vigor, and I was not in a condition to fulfill his needs while pregnant. Then this admirer from his past shows up. He might have resisted once, maybe twice, but not indefinitely. If I hadn't visited the office last night, it would have gone further."

Her reasoning resonated with Rosalynn, stirring unease about her own relationship.

Her husband too, was surrounded by temptations, and she was now pregnant. Could Brian remain faithful?

"What are you doing here? Get out!"

"Hutton, please don't send me away. I just want to talk to Valeria."

Suddenly, the sound of Hutton shouting outside the room interrupted them, accompanied by a woman's pleading voice.

Startled, Rosalynn moved toward the door to investigate the commotion, but just as she reached it, the door swung open. Lyndon entered, laden with several bags.
