Rosalynn took a deep, frustrated breath.

“Stop it, Brian. Our relationship is already tainted. We may try our hardest to make it work, and maybe it would be fine in the beginning, but with all our differences, we would break up sooner or later. It's better to nip it in the bud while it's still early."

“That is your opinion, and I do not agree with it. I intend to share the rest of my days with you, whether we spend them arguing or cuddled up in bed. I want the good memories and the bad. I want you." Brian looked straight at her as he said this.

His voice was calm and pleasant, as if he was simply presenting a mundane idea. Even so, Rosalynn felt herself getting bewitched by those damn eyes.

She mustered a smile and said nothing, then proceeded to brush her teeth.

She looked at herself in the mirror and reminded herself again and again.

If she didn't want to get hurt again, then she must stand strong against his charms.

Rosalynn ignored Brian and carried on with washing her face and changing her clothes. She grabbed her phone before applying her makeup.

That was when she realized that her phone was off.

Apparently, it was out of battery. She plugged it in and turned it on.

Sure enough, she had one missed call and one message.

They were all from Valeria.

Rosalynn clicked on the message.

There was no text, just a photo.

It was a picture of Hutton walking into a bathroom, half-naked.

Rosalynn stared wide-eyed at her screen.

What was going on between those two?

Were they staying in the same room?

Had they...

Rosalynn was about to call Valeria, but she was interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell.

She left her phone charging and went to open the door.

She came face to face with Edwin, who was holding a large bag of takeaways.
