A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

He even deluded himself into believing that as long as there was no physical relationship, he remained loyal.

On a Friday at 5:30 p.m…

Rena handed the signed documents to Wendy and said, “You can leave after you distribute these.”

Wendy smiled and said “Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Fowler called and said he wanted to pick up Alexis with you.”

Rena remained silent.

Wendy didn’t dare say anything more and left with the documents.

Rena sat there in a daze for a while, and then gathered her things and left.

As she rode the elevator, she was lost in thought.

Waylen had been pestering her, not wanting a divorce, and now he was using their children to soften her heart. But he didn’t know that it was exactly because of Alexis and Marcus that she had made this decision so quickly.

In the Exceed Group’s hall, Waylen lounged casually on the sofa, dressed in an expensive ‘suit.

He wore a light gray shirt and a classic black suit jacket over it.

He seemed to be in high spirits, and no one could tell that he was facing the possibility of a divorce.

Rena walked out of the elevator, her heart heavy with conflicted emotions.

‘As she reached the foyer, Waylen stood up promptly, his eyes locking onto Rena’s every move. He extended his hand to take her bag, his voice gentle as he said, “There’s an activity today at the kindergarten, but Alexis will be finishing school soon. Let’s go and pick her up together.”

Waylen’s insightfulness led him to understand Rena’s desire for privacy. He knew she wanted to shield their personal matters from public scrutiny.

Moreover, Rena longed to see Alexis happy, even amidst the complexities of their situation.

Complying with Waylen’s suggestion, Rena entered his car.

The atmosphere between them was laden with tension, and Rena avoided conversation with him.

The most she asked each day was when he would sign the papers, to which he adamantly refused.

Waylen’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed his emotions, saying in a deep voice, “Please fasten your seatbelt.”

Rena came to her senses.

As she fastened the seatbelt, Waylen started the car, gently probing, “Shall we take Alexis and dine out later? She insisted on dining with us last night.”

Rena understood his intentions well.

She remained silent for a while before finally saying, “After the divorce, you can still see Alexis and Marcus.”

Waylen’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, his knuckles turning pale.

With a gentle tone, he inquired, “What about you? Can’t I see you?”

Rena’s heart ached.

She had vowed not to give up on their marriage, yet she was breaking her promise now.

Turning her face away, she murmured, “Of course, you can see me, but our relationship will be different.” ©

The silence that followed was deafening, each word unsaid carrying the weight of their shared history. “Rena, can’t you forgive me this time?”

Rena’s lips moved slightly.

She wanted to say a lot of things, but ended up with nothing.

Waylen remained quiet as he continued to drive, occasionally glancing at Rena with a mixture of hope and apprehension.

There was only silence between them…

The car arrived at the gate of the kindergarten. There were a lot of parents picking up their children. Rena couldn’t give Waylen a hard time in front of outsiders, so she walked alongside him to pick Alexis up.

As they approached the kindergarten gate, Rena’s blood ran cold.

She saw Alexis standing motionless.

Her big pretty eyes were devoid of their usual spark as she clutched her skirt with tender fingers.

Alexis’ autism had surfaced.

Mavis was also there, trying to coax Alexis with a smile, offering her candy.

“This is the candy I bought for you, Alexis. Do you like it?

Why won’t you say anything?

Don’t you like me? Your dad likes me very much…”

Alexis’ teacher, Elena, was taken aback and worried for the girl’s well-being.

She didn’t know who Mavis was or how she had gotten to the kindergarten, but it was clear that her presence was unsettling Alexis. Elena was about to call Rena.

However, Rena had already arrived.

‘As rage consumed Rena, she could no longer contain herself. ©

How could Mavis dare to come here and harass a child? Rena’s anger flared, her thoughts drawing parallels between Mavis and Elvira.

Sensing something amiss, Mavis began to feel scared. When she saw Rena and Waylen approaching, she instinctively adopted a look of innocence and helplessness. “Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, I didn’t mean to do anything wrong. I don’t know why Alexis is like this. Should we… Take her to the hospital?”

Rena embraced Alexis gently, protecting her from any further harm.

In a moment of fury, Rena’s hand swung and struck Mavis twice, causing her mouth to bleed and her face to swell. ©

Tears welled up in Mavis’ eyes as she cried, “Mrs. Fowler, I didn’t mean it.”

‘Suppressing her rage, Rena uttered a chilling threat, “If anything happens to Alexis, I’l hold you responsible.”

Without hesitation, Rena lifted Alexis into her arms, determined to shield her from any more harm.
