"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself. I'm sorry I broke my promise." "It's okay," Rosalie replied. "Go handle your business." "When I'm done, I'll take you to see shouses," Justin assured her.
"Alright," Rosalie responded softly. "No rush." After the call ended, Rosalie exhaled a sigh of relief. Looking down at Steve in her arms, she said, "Good thing Justin is okay. He really scared me." Still, a lingering unease gnawed at her.
Meanwhile, Justin ended the call and sat on the floor, pressing his hand against the blood-soaked wounds on his body. Using rudimentary tools, he painfully extracted the bullets from his injuries, then wrapped them with bandages. Sweat poured down his face as he worked.

How about we meet after that?] [You're house-hunting? Letgo with you.] [It's okay. I can go by myself.] [I'll go with you. It's not safe for a girl to look at houses alone. What if you run into screep?] [I'm not a girl anymore.] [Rose, you'll always be a girl-cute and beautiful.] Rosalie couldn't help but laugh softly. [Fine. Should I cto you, or will you cto me? Let's have lunch first.] [I'll cto you now. Where are you?] Chapter 1084 1 Yerick was meticulous, focusing on the layout and security of each property. It was as if he had thought of everything.

After undressing, he handed his clothes to Rosalie through the door.
