At ten o’clock, she phoned Cecilia and arranged to go shopping together.

The anniversary celebration of the Exceed Group was approaching, and Rena had yet to pick out her dress. Additionally, she hoped Cecilia could attend the event and spend time together.

In the exclusive Sephin Studio.

Juliette held a prominent status as a super VIP, so the entire place had been reserved for

Rena and Cecilia’s visit.

‘As they perused the clothing selection, Rena engaged in conversation with Cecilia, inevitably broaching the subject of Mark.

However, Rena was not acting as a mediator; instead, they discussed parenting. Despite being a mother for only two months, Rena seemed more knowledgeable in the matters of parenting compared to Cecilia, possibly due to the attentive care Alexis required.

Cecilia felt comforted by the conversation.

Rena selected a dress for Cecilia, who tried it on in the fitting room.

Seated on a plush sofa, Rena savored scented tea, patiently waiting for Cecilia.

Soon, the store manager approached with an embarrassed expression. “Mrs. Fowler, there’s a Mr. Moore who is also one of our VIPs… I’d like to discuss with you the possibility of making an exception.”

Rena’s compassionate nature led her to agree. ©

However, as the man was let in, Rena discovered it was Harold, accompanied by his stunning new girlfriend.

Harold was equally taken aback.

After a long pause, he looked at Rena and said, “You’re back?”

Rena nodded, offering a warm smile. “Please feel free to browse.”

Desiring a private conversation with Rena, Harold asked his date to pick a dress on her own.

The woman was smart enough to read the air and understand the situation as she discreetly kept her distance.

Seated across from Rena, Harold pondered his words, momentarily distracted.

Harold had the urge to light a cigarette but as he reached for the lighter and cigarette case, he resisted and instead greeted her with a smile. “Long time no see. I heard that you and Waylen’s child are almost four years old.”

Rena casually perused a magazine, responding with a soft affirmation.

As Harold observed her serene countenance, a sense of bewilderment washed over him.\

There was a time when he had been captivated by her, yearning to possess her wholly.

Yet, with the passing years, it seemed everyone else was moving forward, leaving him entangled in his own uncertainty.

He couldn’t discern whether he still loved Rena or pined for the simplicity he once shared with Cecilia…

In the midst of his perplexity, Cecilia emerged from the dressing room.

Unaware of Harold’s presence, she lowered her head, adjusting the strapless gown while voicing her complaint in a hushed tone, “Rena, isn’t this dress too revealing? Perhaps we should try another one.”

Rena remained silent, offering no response.

As Cecilia looked up, her gaze met Harold’s, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Years ago, when Harold betrayed her, keeping another woman by his side, the Fowler family vehemently called off her engagement to him, causing significant damage to Harold’s business.

Now, however, after a few years had passed, he had managed to rebuild his life and regain his debonair charm.

A faint smile played upon Cec

She nodded politely at Harold. slips.

In stark contrast to her composed demeanor, Harold was thoroughly taken aback…

Rumors had reached Harold’s ears about Cecilia having an affair with that Mr. Evans in Czanch. At first, he had dismissed them as baseless gossip but now, as he observed Cecilia’s countenance, he couldn’t deny the truth.

The once radiant face he knew had been eclipsed by the trials of an obviously struggling relationship.

Her expression lacked its former brilliance.

Yet, there was a newfound maturity about her.

Harold had never imagined that Cecilia could evolve in such a manner; he had always seen her as someone who would never grow up.

But here she stood, transformed into a fine, mature woman he could never have fathomed… all for the sake of another man.

When the former couple crossed paths, an overwhelming silence fell upon them.

Harold found himself incapable of inquiring about Mark, his emotions tied in knots.

Throughout his life, he was involved with numerous women, yet deep down, he acknowledged that he had let both Rena and Cecilia slip away.

Laying eyes on Cecilia once more, Harold felt as though an eternity had passed since they were together.

However, Cecilia had moved on and her heart now belonged elsewhere.

In Rena’s direction, she gestured to her chest and assured her, “I’ll change it.”

Rena responded with a nod and a gentle smile.

As Harold’s face displayed a sense of loss, Rena refrained from speaking aloud. She understood that some people only grasp the weight of their regrets once they’d forever lost someone dear.

In arush, Harold departed with his date, who hadn’t even tried on any dress.
