“Later, Barlow even protected you from Annalise's antics. Frankly, he's a good guy, but I can't see through him. I'd advise you to keep your distance."

Nodding, Karina agreed, “Absolutely, I'll avoid him precisely because he's pursuing you."

Rosalynn gave her a glance.

“Rosalynn, mind your words, or I'll have you sleeping on the streets."

“Alright, I'll zip it. No more jokes, promise?" Karina pleaded.

Casting a glance to Brian, who was engrossed in his laptop in the living room, she asked, “Rosalynn, how does it feel living with a man?"

Rosalynn placed the fried eggs on a plate and responded with a grin “Not too bad."

Despite being tormented at night, she found herself in high spirits.

“Oh my, look at you. I'm rather envious," Karina teased, pinching Rosalynn's cheek. Then a thought occurred to her.

“By the way, why is he here so early?" jecause he Lives next door." Rosalynn finished preparing breakfast.

“And he paid an additional ten million to buy it from someone.”

Karina exclaimed, "Money does indeed talk!"

“So, he paid that extra money because of you?"

“Most Likely."

“Rosalynn, I must say he's such a fool!"

They continued their banter, setting the breakfast table with Laughter and chatter.

Rosalynn invited Brian to join them for the meal.

Keeping a poker face, Brian seated himself opposite Rosalynn and began eating with perfect decorum.

Karina unabashedly scrutinized him from head to toe.

Irritated, Brian asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Karina blinked innocently.

“Yes, I see a tag saying ‘fool’ on your face."
