Waylen reclined the passenger seat, effectively trapping Rena beneath him, and tenderly kissed her.

He took great care to avoid putting any pressure on her lower abdomen, fearful of harming the baby.

Originally, he had intended to stop there after making out with her.

However, as her clothes came off in the car, he couldn’t help but notice how her pregnant body appeared even more delicate and attractive than usual. He succumbed to his desires, making love to her…

Throughout the entire process, he was exceedingly gentle, constantly checking in on how she felt.

Having holding himself back for far too long, they made love twice that night.

When their intimate encounter concluded, Rena appeared enchanting, tears glistening in her eyes.

Though Waylen couldn’t fully indulge in the experience, he felt a distinct sense of satisfaction. Sometimes, life could be quite intriguing…

Following that night, their sexual relationship resumed.

They engaged in lovemaking twice a week.

However, once Rena reached seven months into her pregnancy, Waylen refrained from touching her.

With Rena being pregnant, Waylen arranged for Eloise to come back from Czanch and keep Rena company.

One day, Rena visited the music studio.

As she prepared to depart, Waylen picked her up. Settling into the car, Rena said softly, “Everything has been arranged here. I’ll return to work after the baby is born. I never expected Zack to change so rapidly. He’s nearly capable of managing everything on his own.”

Under normal circumstances, Waylen would have undoubtedly responded with a sarcastic remark about Zack.

But on this day, Waylen remained silent.

Rena sensed his unusual demeanor and inquired with a smile, “What’s the matter with you?”

Waylen stopped the car at an intersection, where a red light awaited. After a moment’s hesitation, he finally confessed. “I still need to go to Braseovell for that case. Mr. Coleman called this morning, expressing his lack of trust in Milo to handle Elvira’s case. Rena… I have to go back there once more.”

Rena blinked, her eyes reflecting a mix of surprise and concern.

After a prolonged silence, she finally spoke up, her voice soft. “Is he worried about this case, or are you?”

Waylen remained silent.

Being aware of Rena’s pregnancy, he couldn’t afford to engage in a quarrel with her.

Exercising self-restraint, Rena said gently, “Waylen, you promised me that you wouldn’t go back to Braseovell again. Moreover, the baby is already seven months along. It may be fine if you’re at home, but if an urgent matter arises, it will take at least 24 hours for you to return from Braseovell. Did you… Did you not consider that before agreeing to go to Braseovell?”

Waylen recognized her discontent.

He was willing to assuage her worries. “The baby

is in stable condition. I’ll only be away for three days. I’ll return as soon as the trial concludes, and I won’t take on any new cases for the time being. I’ll remain by your side until you give birth, alright?”

Rena knew that he had firmly made up his mind.

Feeling upset, she asked softly, “When will you depart?”

“Tomorrow morning”

Rena visibly appeared taken aback.

Subsequently, she turned her head, silently gazing out of the window. No further words escaped her lips…

In the evening, as Waylen began to pack his belongings, he attempted to console her.”

However, Rena remained discontented.

As they lay down to sleep, she positioned herself with her back turned towards him. Throughout the night, her sleep was restless and troubled.

At dawn, Waylen rose quietly, pressing a gentle kiss upon Rena’s lips, his voice hoarse as he whispered, “I’m leaving.”

Rena awakened from her slumber.

Recollections of blood from her dream lingered, causing her to feel apprehensive.

Clasping her arms around Waylen’s waist, Rena experienced discomfort in her belly. Her voice trembled as she pleaded, “Waylen, please don’t go. I’m not feeling well.”

Waylen tenderly caressed her belly.

Believing that her unease stemmed from unhappiness, he didn’t take her concerns to heart. He attempted to console her, saying, “It’s probably because of the weather. It’s getting warm lately. Let Eloise accompany you. Honey, I’ll only be away for three days.”

Embracing him tightly, Rena whispered, her voice filled with apprehension, “Waylen, I have this constant feeling that something is going to happen. I truly don’t feel well… The baby is kicking vigorously in my belly.”

Waylen responded with a smile.

Bending down, he placed a tender kiss upon her protruding belly. “Is our little one being disobedient?”

Rena lovingly ran her fingers through his hair and expressed, “The baby has never been like this before… I… Waylen, please, don’t go. I’m afraid something terrible might occur.”

Waylen straightened himself and kissed her passionately on the lips. “If I don’t go now, I won’t be able to catch the flight. Trust me.”

Rena refused to release her hold on him.

Gently, he peeled away her fingers one by one, wearing a soft smile. “You’re behaving like a child now, I promise I’ll be back in three days.”

With his luggage in hand, he departed.

Rena remained seated, feeling an icy chill despite the sweltering summer heat.

She longed to return to sleep, yet the discomfort and restlessness plagued her…

Rising to her feet, Rena grabbed her phone to check the time and then descended the stairs. with her phone in hand. She called out to Eloise, uttering, “Mom! Where are you?”

Eloise and the maid had just returned from their grocery shopping, engaged in lighthearted conversation and laughter outside the door…

Upon hearing Rena’s voice, Eloise intended to respond.

Then, a deafening explosion resounded in the vicinity. It was followed by a chaotic whirlwind of flying debris, shattered glass, and countless shards of reinforced cement scattering across the sky…
