Smiling faintly, he took off his coat and walked towards her. He leaned over and kissed her. “What brings you here?”

Rena wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. “I wanted to cook something for you.”

As she spoke, she looked at his face carefully.

He didn’t look too good.

Waylen seldom told Rena about what was going on, and she seldom asked him about it. After all, she couldn’t talk about it because Korbyn had already asked her to let Waylen do this to repay the Coleman family.

But when she ran into Elvira today, she saw just how crazy the woman really was..

And because of this, Rena had changed her mind a little.

“Have some soup first to warm you up,” she said gently, gesturing at the table.

Waylen couldn’t bear to let her go. After holding her a long time, he teased, “Do you like playing the role of my wife that much?”

Rena couldn’t help but blush furiously. ,

“Who would want to be your wife? I’m still young!” she retorted with a pout.

Waylen kissed her fair neck and said in a low voice, “Well, I’m not young anymore. I’ll be thirty next year.”

Rena turned to look at his handsome face and was particularly tempted by his lips.

Waylen leaned in to kiss her again.

After a while, Waylen pulled away slightly to whisper, “We haven’t done it in a long time, Rena. Can we please do it tonight?”

Finally, Rena acquiesced, and this night, he was very gentle.

As they were doing it, Rena couldn’t help but arch her back and whisper into the air, “Oh, honey…”

Being called like this, Waylen was caught off guard…

Waylen suddenly pulled Rena into a tight embrace and kissed her ear.

“Call me honey again,” he whispered.

But Rena refused.

She rested her head on his shoulder, smelling the faint scent of his sweat.

Waylen, as restless as he was, wanted to do it again.

Rena ran her finger down his jawline and whispered, “You should get some rest and have some soup later.” –

Waylen’s eyebrow shot up. “Are you worried about me?”

Indeed, Rena did worry about him.

Seeing the concern in her eyes turned Waylen on. Without hesitation, he climbed on top of her again and started to kiss her.

But just as things were getting heated, his phone rang. It was the ringtone exclusive to Lyndon.

Rena pursed her lips. She knew that a call from Lyndon meant no good.

As expected, after Waylen said a few words on the phone, his face turned sullen. He stood up to get dressed as soon as he put the phone down.

Rena hugged him from behind, trying to stop him from leaving.

“Waylen, can’t you just leave her alone?

You know she’s doing this on purpose. How long will you let her hurt you like this?

Waylen, I know your family owns Mr. Coleman. But you’ve done enough, really.”

After all, Rena was a woman…

She couldn’t just wait for Waylen to come back and pretend that nothing happened. She couldn’t just watch him go to the hospital to transfuse blood to a lunatic every so often.

Seeing the bruises on his arm from the blood transfusions, Rena felt suffocated.

Waylen didn’t say anything at first. Instead, he kissed her deeply, holding her trembling body.

When she finally calmed down a little, he said softly, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”

“No, you won’t. You never come back.

Elvira won’t let you…”

For the first tme, Rena spoke her mind about this matter. “Waylen, even though your family owes Lyndon, Elvira isn’t your responsibility. You can help her with her case, but being at her beck and call will only make her crazier.”

Truth be told, Rena almost said that Elvira really was crazy and that she should go see a psychiatrist, but she managed to hold her tongue.

Waylen studied Rena’s face. He probably knew what she meant.

But there was a complicated look in his eye, and Rena knew that nothing she could say would convince him to stay.

Sure enough, he put on his clothes and left in the end.

And as usual, Waylen didn’t come back that night.

This spring night was quite cold. Rena tossed and turned in Waylen’s bed until three o’clock in the morning. She got up and had half a mind to go back to her apartment, but she didn’t want to wake Snowball.

In the end, she sat on the sofa in the living room for the rest of the night…

In the following weeks, Elvira kept doing extreme things.

As a result, Rena could hardly see Waylen.

They only met twice, and both times, he looked exhausted and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Rena didn’t ask him for anything.

In this relationship, she was in a weak position, and there was no way back. At this point, her relationship with him was so shaky that…

She didn’t even sure what she meant to him.

Days turned into weeks, but things didn’t change. At first, she lied to herself and insisted on holding on, but after nearly a month passed, she found herself thinking that maybe she no longer held hope for this relationship either, and she was just waiting for Waylen to say that same thing out loud.
