Brian smiled, a glimmer of mischief in his eyes.

"From now on, you can address me as your brother-in-law."

Hutton was rendered speechless.

He desperately wanted to refuse, but the thought of their marriage certificate prevented him from retorting against Brian's claim.

"Is Hutton staying at your place tonight?" Brian questioned, his gaze on Rosalynn.

"Yes," Rosalynn affirmed with a nod.

Brian draped an arm around her shoulder, remarking Lightly, “He must be exhausted. We should Leave and let him hit the sack early."

"I'm not tired," Hutton retorted, his eyebrows knitting together.

“Really? Have you ever had sex? Do you need me to find someone to tire you out?" Brian suggested, a wry smile tugging at his lips.

“Hey! I'm not as idle as you are!" Hutton shot back, visibly irate.

With Rosalynn in tow, Brian sauntered towards the front door.

“Apologies for my candidness. Time is of the essence at night. I'm sure you understand, even if you're new to sex.”

Hutton watched the pair Leave, the slam of the door echoing in the silence. He couldn't help but curse under his breath.

How could Brian be so harsh?

Back at his apartment, Brian Looked at Rosalynn intently.

"No wonder you didn't wait for me in my place. There's a man in your apartment.

Were you planning to keep him company if I hadn't shown up?"

Rosalynn retorted, “He's my brother. Is there something wrong with me spending time with him?"

Brian closed in on her.

“You're an orphan, Rosalynn. How can you have a brother?" le's like a brother to me."

“Still, he's a man," he reminded her.

Rosalynn found herself at a loss for words. Brian was so unreasonable.
