Waylen listened intently.

Before they knew it, the clock was striking four o’clock in the morning.

Cecilia’s mouth had gone dry, and she was so sleepy. “That’s it,” she finally concluded.

Waylen patted Cecilia’s head and said softly, “Thank you, Cecilia. You should go to bed now, get some rest.”

Worried, Cecilia asked, “Are you okay? What’s with you today?”

Waylen just beamed and said nothing.

After Cecilia retired to her room, Waylen sat in the living room for another half hour, and then he went to his bedroom at the crack of dawn. He sat at the edge of his bed and opened a notebook.

He had copied the diary. ©

He looked through what he had written down in the past and thought about what Cecilia told him.

He connected all the pieces of information together.

The next day, at Sterling Law Firm.

Jazlyn saw Waylen sign the documents and she was about to take them out for distribution. Waylen stopped her at the moment. “Hey, Jazlyn. I need your help finding an address.”

Jazlyn was a bit startled. “Are you going to work overtime, Mr. Fowler?”

Waylen loosened his tie and cleared his throat. “No. I just need you to help me find Rena’s mother. She lives in Duefron now, right?”

Jazlyn smiled. “No need to investigate then. I used to bring things to Ms. Gordon’s mother for her.”

Jazlyn wrote down the address for Waylen.

‘An hour later, Waylen was ringing the doorbell of Eloise’s apartment. He had come bearing lots of gifts.

“Who is it?” Eloise came to open the door and was stunned.

“Waylen?”

Waylen walked in with a smile and said affectionately, “Hi, Eloise. I’m here to see you.”

Eloise was at a loss.

Although Waylen and Rena were already divorced, they were still so entangled by their history that Eloise couldn’t bear to be cold toward her former son-in-law. “Why have you brought so many things? I haven’t consumed everything that Rena brought me last time.”

Eloise really wanted to know how things were going between Waylen and Rena, but she didn’t ask.

Waylen took off his coat and hung it on the rack.

He changed into a pair of indoor slippers, squatted down, and unwrapped one of the things he brought. “It’s not food. Check this out. It’s a machine you can soak your feet and get them massaged. I heard from Jazlyn that this brand is very effective. Let me fill it with water for you so that you can try it.”

After saying that, Waylen went to the bathroom to get some water.

Eloise didn’t know what to do.

She thought it was weird having Waylen in her apartment, running around and helping her try out a new massage machine. She secretly went to her bedroom and sent a message to Rena that read, “Are you and Waylen back together? He’s here in my place right now. He brought me a foot massage machine.”

After sending the message, she raised her head and saw Waylen standing at her bedroom door.

Eloise smiled awkwardly.

Waylen grinned in response. “Rena and I aren’t back together. I just came here today to see you.”

He held Eloise’s arm, led her toward the foot massage machine, and said, “Come see if the water feels right to you. If it doesn’t, then I will change it.”

Eloise was overwhelmed by the gentleness of her ex son-in-law.

Waylen was good-looking, and when he went out of his way to please someone, he became irresistible.

However, Eloise loved her daughter very much. After thinking for a while, she said, “Waylen, I’m glad you came to visit, and I’m happy to see you, but… I have to respect Rena’s wishes.”

Waylen massaged Eloise’s calves and smiled. “You think too much into it. I just want to talk to you. I want to know about Rena’s childhood.” ©

Eloise’s heart softened.

She thought of the past when she and Darren raised Rena together.

Moved by Waylen’s desire to know more about Rena, Eloise told the entire story of her daughter’s childhood.

Waylen listened closely to Eloise the entire time. Later, they had dinner together. It was already nine o’clock in the evening when Waylen said goodbye and went home.

As soon as he got in his car, he received a call from Rena.

With one hand firmly gripping the steering wheel, Waylen found himself engrossed in Rena’s voice emanating from the phone on the other end. “Waylen, did you visit my mother’s place?” she inquired.

“Yes,” he replied, his tone noticeably softer than the previous night.

After a moment of hesitation, Rena made her intentions clear. “We’re divorced. Please don’t disturb her.”

A faint smile crept upon Waylen’s lips.

In response, he asked, “Can’t I pay a visit to my former mother-in-law after our divorce? I believe she would be glad to see me.”

He possessed a mischievous charm that Rena struggled to resist.

After a prolonged silence, she finally uttered, “Fine. Do as you please.”

Just as she was about to end the call, Waylen rushed to say, “Im sorry for what happened last night!”

Rena was left speechless.

Waylen’s voice softened further as he continued, “When I saw the morning dew piano, I couldn’t control myself. Remember how we used to make love on it?”

Rena was taken aback by the mention of their past experiences.

Amidst the audible rush of breath on the phone, Waylen couldn’t help but chuckle. “Have you forgotten? On Christmas night!”

Rena’s grip on the phone tightened until her knuckles turned pale.

Then she abruptly hung up, leaving Waylen on the other end.

After hanging up the phone, it rang again. Rena thought it was Waylen calling back, so she hesitated for a while before checking it.

The persistent ringing turned out to be Vera.
