Waylen had driven an hour to get here and see Rena.

But she was already leaving to attend a business dinner party before he could even have a few words with her.

Waylen was a man of pride. He had never gone after any woman. Women had always been the ones going after him. The only reason he was being all territorial with his wife right now was that another man might be interested in her. And it was also because he hadn’t had her completely yet.

But once a man’s desire to conquer and possess surfaced, it didn’t go back under without a fight.

Instead of getting upset, he said in a gracious manner, “Okay. Go ahead to your party. Please ask the driver to drive carefully. I want you to get to your destination safely.”

After saying that, he pulled her toward himself and kissed her on the lips.

“You look so beautiful even when you’re all sweaty.”

Rena’s face turned bright red.

Waylen was satisfied. On his way out of the company gym, he walked past a man. It was Hector.

“Hello, Mr. Fowler.”

Looking at Hector who was already dressed up to attend the party with Rena, Waylen felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He frowned and nodded slightly to his former subordinate.

Rena didn’t notice the tension between the two men.

She just said lightly, “Wait for me in the car, Hector.”

Hector.

Waylen clenched his fists.

He didn’t expect Rena to address Hector by his name in such a friendly tone like they were close friends.

After taking a shower, Rena changed into a cocktail dress and put on a white overcoat Wendy accompanied Rena to the car.

At the parking lot, Waylen was leaning against the driver-side door of his black Maybach and smoking. When he saw Rena, he stubbed out his half-finished cigarette. He offered, “It’s snowing heavily. Let me drive you to the party.”

Rena took a look at the company car. Hector must already be inside and waiting for her.

Then, she looked at Waylen.

She rubbed her forehead, wondering if Waylen was acting like this because he was jealous.

Fine snow filled the air.

Ultimately, Rena decided to take the company limo. She opened the car door and said to Waylen, “I’ll take the company car. Please go home and keep Alexis and Marcus company.

Marcus has been able to see objects more than 20 centimeters away for a few days. You should play with him more to help his development.”

Waylen put his palm on the back of her hand.

His dark eyes were deep. “I’ve already spoken with your driver. We’re going in the same direction anyway. I can drop you off at the party.”

Rena smiled, cocked her head to the side, and said in a singsong voice, “You are always going in the same direction as everyone wherever you go, Mr. Fowler.”

Waylen knew that she was being sarcastic.

He didn’t want to pretend anymore. He leaned in and whispered to her, “Never ride in the same car with him again, okay? Remember to avoid giving him special treatment. I don’t want that man getting the wrong idea when it comes to you, Mrs. Fowler.”

In the end, Rena allowed Waylen to give her a ride to the party.

A hardworking man like him should get a reward from time to time.

She got in his passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. Waylen looked at her and muttered with a grin, “You look gorgeous in that outfit.”

The dress under her coat was indeed stunning.

Rena lowered her eyes and said, “You used to tell me that a lot.”

Waylen’s eyes darkened. After a while, he beamed and replied, “It seems that my aesthetic standards haven’t changed after all.”

Rena turned away and looked out the window. “Well, I’ve always been beautiful.”

She sounded like a spoiled little girl.

Waylen’s heart skipped a beat. He chuckled and didn’t say anything.

The snowy weather lent the air inside Waylen’s vehicle a romantic feel.

Sitting next to Waylen, Rena couldn’t help thinking about how happy she and Waylen would’ve been if Elvira hadn’t been released on medical parole. Tragedy never would’ve struck, and Waylen still would’ve been the man with whom she fell in love.

Tears welled up in Rena’s eyes.

All of a sudden, Waylen pumped the brakes.

He cursed under his breath, opened the door, and got out of the car. He walked toward the hood of the car.

After being stunned for a while, Rena got out of the car as well.

Waylen hit a young girl. It was freezing outside, but the girl was only wearing thin cotton clothes. Her long hair covered most of her face.

Waylen helped the girl up.

The girl muttered, “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.”

After saying that, she raised her head.

Both Waylen and Rena gasped in shock.

It was Mavis. ©

At this time, she looked very pitiful. Waylen’s car hit her squarely in the gut, but somehow, she wasn’t seriously injured. She only sustained a few scratches on her arms from when she attempted to break her fall.

Rena wasn’t a mean person, but she couldn’t help but chuckled at the sight. “Aren’t you the lucky one, Miss Lynch? Thank heavens you didn’t get majorly hurt.”

Mavis shivered.

She bit her lip. “I’m sorry to inconvenience you, Mrs. Fowler. I should’ve watched where I was going.”

Rena didn’t have time to deal with Mavis. She was running late for the party. She said to Waylen in a low voice, “She’s fine. Let’s go. I’m going to be late.”

But Waylen didn’t move.

He stared at the specially shaped turquoise pendant hanging from Mavis’ neck. He had seen that same pendant before on Elvira.
