He faced Betty with a furrowed brow, his voice tinged with frustration. "Aren't you supposed to take this seriously?" he asked, a hint of annoyance in his tone. She met his gaze with a playful glint in her eye, clearly amused by his concern.

"We've been practicing hard since morning," she explained casually, a smile dancing on her lips. "We're just taking a short break." His scoff of disbelief revealed his lack of awareness of the break, but even so, he found it difficult to reign in his rising anger at the situation.

Watching Betty share a moment of laughter with another guy only added fuel to the fire of his unease. The way she interacted with him sparked a sense of question in his mind, stirring up a mix of jealousy and suspicion that clouded his thoughts.

As he uttered the words, "Sorry for that, I should take my leave," he turned on his heel and swiftly exited the room, leaving an uncomfortable silence in his wake.

Elena absentmindedly scratched the back of his head, her gaze fixed on him."I just wanted to let you know that you shouldn't blame yourself for anything. I know I can be a handful, but you don't need to be so hard on yourself. You look kind of ridiculous with that expression," she remarked, her voice taking on a slightly teasing, babyish tone.Bryan's brow furrowed in response. "Who ever said you were a burden to me? You're my sister, and it's my duty to look out for you," he insisted, a touch of protectiveness slipping into his words.

You aren't the only one here," he blurted out, his irritation palpable to Kingsley and Elena, who exchanged baffled glances at his outburst.Betty abruptly ended her phone call and turned to face Bryan, her expression a mix of surprise and annoyance. "Why are you acting so cold? I was talking to someone. Aren't you supposed to respect that?" she inquired, her tone accusing and expectant of an explanation.Bryan averted his gaze, his frustration simmering just beneath the surface as he let out a scoff."Don't you know the type of words to use with your lover when you are amidst people?

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes locking with his as he struggled to express his thoughts. "What are you talking about, he's just friends, and nothing of such will happen," she replied calmly, her voice tinged with a hint of skepticism.Bryan, taken aback by her nonchalant response, paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and mustered the courage to speak his mind. "He seems to like you, I guess from the way he was looking at you," he said tentatively, his voice a bit shaky.Betty couldn't help but chuckle at his observation. She knew all too well of the lingering gazes, the hidden smiles, and the subtle hints that the other guy had been dropping. "I know he's into me, but I don't love him.

    “Did you think that will be possible, she will suspect we are together” Bryan let her understand the risk they are about to take. She scoffed, and stared at Bryan. “I heard you are smart. You can't be this handsome, and tell me you don't know how to handle simple cases like this? I know you are up to the task, that's why I am leaving it to you. I should leave before I get noticed” She said, and stood up, ready to leave. “Okay, I will handle that, but still we have to sign a contract. We have to authorise this. I don't love disappointment at the end. And I have trust issues” He let out, and Jessica was bewildered. “Why are you so difficult? You are acting like a narrow minded person. Did you think this was a plan or what? Did you think I would want to fake marriage just to dump you?” She demanded, and he smirked. “I am human, and it's normal to have trust issues, don't you think?” He asked, and she scoffed “You are unbelievable, so you would think I am trying to make a fool outta

She hesitated, her mouth agape as she grappled with the decision to apologize to Bryan, unsure if it was the right course of action."Is that difficult to take in?" Grandma Creston's voice broke the tense silence, her tone laced with a hint of amusement. Ellen let out a sarcastic chuckle, a mix of frustration and defiance evident in her expression."You're joking, mum. That's not happening," Ellen retorted, her reluctance palpable. The thought of apologizing to Bryan seemed inconceivable to her, a bridge too far to cross. The internal struggle reflected in her eyes as she stood her ground, torn between pride and the desire to mend fences."If you can't consider doing that, then I wouldn't be able to help you," she stated firmly, her words carrying a finality that brooked no argument.

    Alora's eyes narrowed, her voice laced with skepticism. "So you're just saying that to tell me it's not good, it's not actually your first time, right?" she asked, her tone implying disbelief.Bryan's scoff was dismissive, his eyes rolling in exasperation. "I haven't smoked once. Even though I grew up around people who smoke, I never tried it. I don't hate smokers, but I correct them and advise them to quit if I can. There's no gain in smoking, it only causes harm to the body," he explained, his voice patient and matter-of-fact.Alora's expression turned thoughtful, her eyes softening slightly. "You're being such a calm man. England must have changed you," she said, her tone tinged with a hint of surprise.Bryan's scoff was wry, his eyes glinting with a hint of sadness.

He turned to see Alora, her slender fingers holding a cigarette, her eyes gazing out at the horizon. Bryan's eyes widened in disbelief - Alora, smoking?
