Rosalynn smiled.

“No, it's more about avoiding unnecessary trouble."

Their marriage defied convention, a bond born out of circumstance. It lacked the foundation of love.

Rosalynn had entered the union fully aware that gaining anything from Brian was not part of the equation. ut-" Valeria began.

“Well, Let's put those negative vibes aside. We should focus on being happy! Come on, let's drink!"

Rosalynn suggested, determined to steer the conversation away from Brian.

"Alright!"

Valeria swallowed the words she had been about to utter and joined in raising her glass.

“Cheers!”

Hutton, who had been observing the interaction, followed suit. He raised his own glass, clinking it with theirs.

The three glasses came together with a gentle chime filling the air.

Valeria then regaled them with amusing tales from her life as an actress.

Rosalynn and Hutton listened avidly, their faces displaying genuine interest.

As the drinks flowed, Valeria could not resist the urge to invite them to dance.

Rosalynn's face was already flushed, the effects of alcohol urging her to let loose and indulge at the moment.

With a joyful smile, she eagerly agreed and rose to her feet.

The trio made their way out of the private room and descended to the dance floor.

The pulsating music reverberated through the air, creating a vibrant ambiance.

The ground floor was alive with men and women, their bodies swaying and laughter filling the space.

Valeria skillfully maneuvered through the crowd with Rosalynn close behind.

Soon, they found themselves immersed in the rhythm, moving their bodies in sync with the beat.

Despite Hutton's tipsy state, he instinctively shielded Rosalynn from being jostled by the energetic crowd.
