Rosalie replied, "You had a bad dream last night and kept calling Youngie's name." Vincent's grip tightened over the spoon he was holding so hard his knuckles popped up.

Vincent remained seemingly emotionless, but his gaze shifted as he said indifferently, "The next tI have a nightmare, keep away fromand leavebe." "Oh, okay." Rosalie was about to sit down when realization dawned upon her.
Why would there be a next time? She chuckled awkwardly. "It's good that you're fine now. I'll leave right after lunch. Don't worry, there won't be a next time." He saved her and got injured. She was worried that something might happen to him, so she stayed the night to keep watch over him.
Since he was fine, she had no reason to stay with him. Her baby was still waiting for her to return.

"Ten thousand dollars is so little. Are you sure?" This man was way too extreme, going from ten billion dollars to ten thousand dollars. She felt like he was just fooling around and taking it as child's play.
