Rena, be brave for me once more, please.”

Waylen was stuck in a trance…

He didn’t realize that he had really loved Rena that much until now.

He had brazenly asked Rena not to give up on him, yet he divorced her without batting an eyelash.

Waylen carefully put the diary and recorder back into the box and dialed Rena’s number.

But Rena didn’t answer his calls.

Feeling desperate, Waylen called Ross. At this time, Ross was leaning against the hood of the car, smoking a cigarette. “Mrs. Fowler’s in the cemetery,” he told Waylen. “It seems that she’s trying to dig up something.”

Cemetery?

Waylen grabbed his keys and flew down the stairs. While he started the car, he could feel his heart banging against his chest. He didn’t know what Rena was up to, but he had a hunch that it was something very important.

He also didn’t know what he wanted, even after he had read the diary.

At this moment, he just knew that he had to stop her from doing anything reckless.

It was the middle of March, so the roses Waylen had planted for Rena weren’t in bloom yet.

The Fowler family’s cemetery was quiet.

Wearing a white coat, Rena stood out against the bleak cemetery. She was standing in front of alone tombstone to mourn her past love.

Waylen’s and Rena’s names were engraved on the tombstone.

After a long while, Rena took a deep, shuddery breath and said, “I’m sorry, Waylen, but I’m going to break my promise.”

She couldn’t wait for him anymore. She had to give up.

Still, she couldn’t forget the love they had shared in the past. Perhaps, their past love for each other was the one worth protecting, not the dream of changing a man who didn’t love her…

A faint, bitter smile appeared on Rena’s face.

She whispered to herself, “Waylen, I’m back…

From now on, I’ll only be with you. No one else can stand between us.”

She touched the tombstone and dug out the diamond ring Waylen had buried underneath, which twinkled brightly under the sunlight.Ư

There were tears in Rena’s sorrowful eyes.

She gently slipped the diamond ring onto her slender ring finger.

“Waylen, I came back for you, just you.

At the gate of the cemetery, Waylen’s car screeched to a halt and he jumped out.

He could see Rena in the distance.

He could also see the dazzling diamond ring on her finger… She kissed the diamond ring with tears in her eyes, like a ceremonial confession of love.

“Renal”

Waylen cried out her name desperately.

In the morning light, Rena slowly turned her head to look at him quietly.

She smiled faintly.

However, she didn’t belong to him anymore, and he didn’t belong to her…

After all, they were officially divorced.

Waylen’s life had always been filled with indulgence and freedom.

But at this very moment, he found himself in a state of panic like never before.

It felt as if something precious had slipped through his fingers and he desperately wanted to catch it before it was too late.

However, Rena had made up her mind, and she had chosen to let go.

He had read the diary and listened to the recording.

Most of all, he pondered over his own actions and behavior towards Rena recently.

He had offered Mavis an internship at his law firm.

He had left Rena and his family alone on Christmas to save Mavis.

He accused Rena of being cruel and heartless. When she gave him the cold shoulder, he allowed Mavis to get close to him, using her to test his own feelings for Rena.

And in a fit of pique, he allowed the rumors of his romantic involvement with an actress to spread.

Throughout all this, Rena never made a scene. She calmly signed the divorce agreement, signaling the end of their relationship. She finally… gave him up.

She left him.

“Rena,” Waylen uttered her name softly as he approached her.

Standing tall in the sunlight, Rena’s ring finger adorned with an exquisite diamond ring, which seemed to pierce into Waylen’s eyes.

“Ive read the diary and heard the recording,” he said in a hoarse voice.

He had so much to say, but in this very moment, even as the chief lawyer known for his sharp tongue in the court, he found himself at a loss for words.

He looked so lost.

The recording had evoked a whirlwind of emotions within him, surpassing the intensity of his teenage romance with Elvira in the past. He listened to his own voice, passionately expressing his love for Rena in such a heartfelt manner.

It shocked him to realize the depth of his own feelings.

Upon hearing this, Rena was taken aback, but she quickly regained her composure.

She didn’t inquire further; instead, she asked in a hushed tone, “Where are the diary and the recorder?”

“In my car,” Waylen replied in a hoarse voice.
