Chapter: 397
A man’s voice cut through the tense atmosphere from a distance.
“Brian, Barlow, you’re both here!”
It was Aldrich who broke the silence.
He eyed Barlow’s bruised face.
“Barlow, what happened to your face?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBarlow grinned, draping an arm around Rosalynn’s shoulder. “Brian did. He wants Rosalynn to
himself.”
Brian glared at Rosalynn’s shoulder, barely containing his rage.
Rosalynn furrowed her brow, shrugged off Barlow’s arm, and approached Valeria, who leaned against
the wall for support. “Would you Like me to drive you home?”
Valeria had sobered up, casting a glance at the group before replying, “If it’s not too much trouble, I’d
appreciate a ride. If not, don’t worry about it.”
It was Brian who hit Barlow.
He was fighting another man for Rosalynn.
It made her seem anything but ordinary.
Rosalynn agreed, eager to leave. Turning to Karina, she said, “Karina, I’ll drive Valeria home. Have a
good time.”
“Alright, I’ll call you later,” Karina replied, miming a phone call with her hand.
Rosalynn nodded and left with Valeria, without sparing a glance at Brian and Barlow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a sly smile, Barlow casually eyed the fuming Brian.
He seemed particularly unhappy.
Aldrich, standing nearby, chimed in, “Brian, Barlow, you’re family.
Let’s talk things out. No need for anger.”
Barlow scoffed, “My last name is Tucker. I wouldn’t dare claim membership in the Hughes family.
Anyway, I’ve got business to discuss, so I won’t keep you.”
He shot a glance at Karina, motioning for her to follow.
Karina glared at Brian before trailing behind Barlow.
