Virgil's expression changed as he cast his gaze to Annalise.

With a blink of her eyes, Annalise put on a convincing show of vulnerability.

“Karina, I understand that you don't approve of me. I was perhaps a bit too harsh this afternoon, and for that, I apologize. Could you possibly allow me to be with your brother? Rest assured, I'll love Virgil as you would.”

Annalise was insinuating Karina's feelings for Virgil.

If Karina didn't give them her blessing, she'd appear jealous.

Hearing Annalise's words, Rosalynn became angry.

Just as she was about to respond, Barlow chimed in.

“Miss, you look familiar."

His smile was warm as he gazed at Annalise.

Annalise had taken note of Barlow.

Her heart fluttered at his greeting.

Casually tucking a Lock of hair behind her ear, she blushed slightly.

“Sir, have we met before?"

Barlow raised an eyebrow, smiling.

"No, we haven't. But you remind me strikingly of certain unsavory women I've encountered in the past."

Annalise was dumbfounded.

She had presumed he recognized her or was charmed by her.

She hadn't expected his words to be a jibe.

Paying no mind to Annalise's crestfallen expression, Barlow redirected his attention to Virgil.

"It appears you've yet to experience such a woman, haven't you? You should be vigilant."

After saying that, Barlow held Karina's arm and took her away.

Rosalynn wanted to Laugh and thought Barlow did a good job.
