Inexplicably, Lyndon felt a reluctance to depart. Though aware of the impropriety, he gently caressed Rena’s hair and said softly, “The next time we meet, I will treat you to a splendid feast.”

Rena returned the smile.

Her smile was irresistibly endearing.

Once again, Lyndon found himself lost in thought.

Rena bore an astonishing resemblance to Reina. If only her mother were still alive, he might have delved deeper into her story.

In the evening, Rena recounted the encounter to Waylen, mentioning Lyndon’s presence at the cafe.

Waylen grinned, teasingly remarking, “Don’t you harbor great affection for him? Did you seize the opportunity to enjoy a cup of coffee together?”

Deliberately, Rena responded, “You are the one I love.”

A visible delight adorned Waylen’s face.

In a melancholic tone, Rena continued, “We only conversed briefly before he received a phone call. It was his daughter calling, and he mentioned having to pick her up from the airport.”

Elvira…

Waylen remained silent, fixating his gaze upon the television screen.

Lost in his thoughts, he seemed distant.

Recently, Rena and Waylen had developed a strong rapport. Waylen’s maturity and exceptional qualities made her value his perspective on matters, In this moment, she couldn’t resist discussing the DNA database with him, yearning to hear his opinion.

She spoke at length, but Waylen appeared unengaged, his attention elsewhere,

“Waylen! Waylen…”

Startled, Waylen snapped back to reality and regarded Rena.

Rena, with her beauty and submissive nature, cared for him deeply.

He understood that he could possess her both physically and emotionally whenever he desired.

He knew that Rena had genuine affection for him.

However, he didn’t wish to be tied down by a woman.

He simply wished to revel in their current relationship.

In his mind, it was perfect!

Waylen’s voice was hoarse as he gently caressed Rena’s long hair. “Sorry, I have some work to attend to,” he said, standing up abruptly and making his way towards the study.

Rena couldn’t help but let her thoughts wander, fueled by his sudden departure.

She never intended for him to fall in love with her, but she sensed that something was off.

The woman he couldn’t forget must have returned.

Elvira, Lyndon’s daughter, was mentioned earlier.

Rena froze in that instant.

Elvira was the one Waylen couldn’t forget.

Rena had encountered Lyndon on multiple occasions and Waylen even engaged in intimate activities with her while talking to Lyndon over the phone. But Waylen had never revealed his past with Elvira to her.

Nobody had told her.

She was the only one left in the dark.

Sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, Rena felt a chill in the early autumn night.

Thoughts of her growing affection for Waylen flooded her mind.

The roses by her pillow in the morning, the piano, and their intimate moments,

She realized now that those meant nothing compared to Elvira’s importance in Waylen’s heart. That woman was definitely more Important to him compared to her.

Rena had no intention of confronting him because she was crystal clear that she meant nothing to him.

Judging by Waylen’s recent attitude, she knew he still couldn’t forget Elvira, she wouldn’t humiliate herself by bringing the other woman up in front of him.

If he wanted to be alone, she would respect his space.

Quietly, she prepared a midnight snack for him, placing it in an insulated container on the table. When he was ready to leave the study, he would see it waiting for him.

Sitting in the living room, she checked the financial statements of the music studio. Then she took a shower, tending to her skincare routine.

Late at night, Waylen sat in the study.

He was surrounded by smoke-filled air and cigarette butts in the ashtray.

As he finished his last cigarette, he crushed the box and discarded It.

With his eyes feeling weary, he realized it was getting very late.

Standing up, he made his way out.

The living room was dim, illuminated only by a small wall lamp. The insulated container on the table caught his attention.

Opening it, he discovered a bowl of steamed pear with rock sugar.

It was a soothing remedy for his throat.

He sat down, took a few bites, and then walked into the bedroom.

There, Rena lay in peaceful slumber.

Her form wrapped in the modest embrace of a white pajama set. It was evident that she had chosen to abstain from the usual intimacy they shared.

Waylen guessed that she had uncovered something, a secret he had kept hidden.

Resolute in his desire to bridge the growing chasm between them, he gently enfolded her in his arms, their bodies seeking solace in proximity.

“Wake up, Rena,” he whispered softly, his voice laced with vulnerability.

“Waylen.”

She sighed, her voice laced with a little hint of annoyance. “I’m not in the mood tonight.”

However, Waylen didn’t intend to make love to her either.

“I need to tell you the truth. I was with Elvira for several years… She is Lynden Coleman’s daughter”
