Chapter 954
Chapter: 954They clinked their glasses, and amidst the comfortable silence, Barlow posed a question lingering in his mind.“| heard the news about Eleanor’s baby. Are you still planning to divorce my brother?”
Rosalynn took a sip of wine at Barlow's question. “Eleanor’s child might not be Brian’s. He might not even have slept with herever.”
Barlow’s hand stopped midway to his mouth, his glass suspended in the air before it could reach his lips.“How did you know?” he asked in surprise.novelbin
“Because...” Rosalynn paused, then Looked into Barlow’s eyes in an unreadable gaze. “You want to know? Then tell first whowants to replace Brian.”
Barlow was struck speechless.There was always something incredibly sexy about an intelligent woman.
“Alright, | won’t pry anymore.” Barlow turned the glass in his hand, letting its contents swirl inside before taking a sip. “Speakingof which, it’s not our first time alone. | suddenly feel nostalgic for the days when we were in the hospital.”
The image of Karina’s face came to his mind. He remembered her delicate features and the way they made him want to reachout and come closer.
“Are you thinking about Karina?” Rosalynn asked.
Barlow kept his gaze on his glass and did not say a word.
“| think Karina Likes you too,” Rosalynn continued despite his Lack of response.“| know that,” Barlow said softly, letting out a sigh.
“Okay. So you know your feelings are mutual. Then why aren’t you with her?”
Barlow gripped his glass tighter. “No. | have too many enemies. Being with me is as good as putting a target on her head, andthat’s the Last thing | want. She’s innocent. | don’t want her involved.”
This man was far too kind and righteous.
On second thought...
Rosalynn glared at him. “I’m innocent as well.”
She had passed judgment too quickly.
Barlow was far from kind. Whatever nobility he was capable of came with selfishness underneath.
ALL he wanted was to protect the woman he Loved. It had nothing to do with justice.
