A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

She knew he had something to say tonight.

She braced herself for his inevitable anger.

Regardless of his emotions, Waylen courteously opened the car door for her, his tone chilly.

“Get in the car.”

Rena settled into the passenger seat.

‘As she slowly fastened her seat belt, she casually asked, “Why did you come here?”

Waylen pressed down on the gas pedal.

Rather than driving back to her villa, he continued onward, following the course of the river.

The open window allowed the scent of saltiness and humidity to permeate the car gradually.

Abruptly, the car came toa stop.

Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Waylen stared ahead into the dark night, suppressing his emotions, and inquired, “Rena, is this your revenge?”

Rena maintained her silence.

He turned slowly, his eyes tinged with redness. “I have never betrayed our marriage,” he asserted.

Rena opened the car door and stepped out into the darkness, where only the pale river offered its faint glow.

Despite the chilly night, Rena felt the need to take a walk, hoping it would clear her mind.

Waylen remained seated, his gaze fixed on her retreating form.

Suddenly, he emerged from the car, reaching out to grab her arm from behind and gently pulling her into his embrace. “I’ve never seen anyone torture themselves like you do,” he murmured. ©

His lips brushed against her hair as he continued in a husky tone, “Rena, don’t go there again. If you want to indulge yourself, I’ll accompany you.”

Waylen could not bear seeing her admired by others. He was filled with a longing to kiss her.

Rena gently pushed him away.

The night wind tousled her hair but she paid no mind to it. Standing before him, she said softly, “Waylen, it’s not about whether we still love each other or not… I truly don’t want to go through this torment repeatedly. I’m serious. Tonight has brought me genuine happiness.”

He regarded her with a perplexed gaze.

As Rena turned to face the river, she expressed, “I understand what you mean. You want a fresh start with me. But, Waylen, I’m no longer a young woman in her early twenties. We divorced with two children involved… While we need to maintain contact for their sake, we shouldn’t intrude into each other’s personal lives.”

Waylen’s hand was in his trouser pocket, clutching a diamond ring he had planned to give her.

Ina gentle voice, he proposed, “What if I tell you that you have a choice?”

Rena remained silent.

Silence could be the cruelest response.

After a long while, Waylen smiled faintly and remarked, “Looks like I’ve been deceiving myself these past days… It’s getting late. Allow me to drive you home.”

He opened the back door for her, displaying his elegance and grace.

During the journey, they exchanged few words, mostly about the children, before parting ways.

Rena knew that it was truly over between them.

The night wind blew fiercely.

She stood amidst its embrace, watching him drive away…

In the days that followed, he stopped pestering her.

Even when they encountered each other by chance, they merely exchanged nods and behaved like any other divorced couple—respectful to one another, both having their lives to lead, with nothing but their children being their common topic…

Aweek had passed and Rena found herself attending the much-anticipated premiere.

Rather than walking the red carpet, she discreetly entered the hall from the backstage.

Unexpectedly, she encountered someone she wished to avoid – Mavis.

It had only been a short while but Mavis appeared significantly slimmer.

Despite being in her early 20s, her skin lacked vitality and had an unhealthy tone, even under a heavy layer of makeup.

The light pink dress she wore accentuated her thin figure.

Mavis was accompanied by a man in his 30s, who, though handsome, had a slightly unpleasant demeanor.

Rena furrowed her brow, trying to recall where she had seen him before.

Just then, Mary hurried over and showed great respect to the man, addressing him as Mr. Howard – a name that suddenly triggered a realization within Rena.

This man was Elvira’s ex-husband, Theo Howard, the one her uncle had been investigating.

Seeing Mavis holding Theo’s hand made Rena feel uncomfortable. ©

Mary, who was cunning and sly, introduced Rena, saying, “Mr. Howard, this is Ms. Gordon from the Exceed Group.” ©

With an air of sophistication, Theo extended his hand to Rena. “I’m Theo Howard. Ms. Gordon and I have some history.”

While Rena couldn’t shake her negative impression of Theo, she put on a faint smile and shook his hand, knowing she had to maintain appearances on a public scene like this.

Studying Rena’s face, Theo complimented, “Ms. Gordon, it’s a shame you’re not a star. You look absolutely stunning.”

Then, he turned to Mavis and lightly pinched her face, comparing her favorably to her sister.

He treated Mavis with an air of superiority, as though she were a docile pet.

Despite her reluctance, Mavis forced herself to agree with him, speaking in a flattering tone. “You’re absolutely right.”

Theo patted Mavis on the head, exchanging a subtle wink with her.
