As Rena drifted off to sleep, the therapist exited the room.

Standing at the door, Waylen’s face remained expressionless. However, upon spotting the therapist emerge, he hurried forward and inquired, “Where is my wife?”

Respecting Rena’s privacy, the therapist didn’t disclose any details.

Speaking in a hushed tone, she simply said to Waylen, “Mrs. Fowler is under significant pressure. She constantly strives for perfection, yet there are many unresolved issues between you both. You must slowly open your hearts to each other.”

Desperate for guidance, Waylen asked, “Is there any solution?”

Gently, the therapist met his gaze and replied, “I’ll prescribe some medicine for her. Once she’s feeling better, consider trying to have another child. Of course, you must be considerate of her during pregnancy. It might improve your relationship as a couple.”

Waylen nodded thoughtfully.

After a moment’s hesitation, the therapist added, “Try to help her relax. Don’t confine her to the home all the time.”

Waylen was taken aback by the suggestion…

When Rena woke up, the first thing she saw was Waylen sitting beside her.

He gently stroked her long, brown hair. His behavior was so intimate that she sat up, feeling somewhat uneasy. “How long was I asleep?”

Waylen slowly withdrew his hand, as though he was scared that he’d frighten her.

“A Little over an hour.”

Rena stood up and put on her shoes. “Am I holding you up? You can go ahead to work. I’ll be fine here.”

She had lowered her head and busied herself with her shoes, but the next moment, her hand was held by him.

Rena looked up at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Waylen gently pinched her nose. “I don’t mind being late for work if I get to spend a little more time with my wife.”

Rena smiled.

She had just woken up, yet she still looked so beautiful. Waylen realized it had been a long time since he last kissed her, and he couldn’t help but lean closer to do just that.

“Waylen…”

She tried to turn her face away from him.

But he ignored her and gently slipped his tongue into her mouth.

After a long time, he finally felt satisfied and pulled away…

Rena leaned weakly on his shoulder, her face red and ruddy from his breathtaking kiss.

Waylen slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. He wanted to do her more than anything, but he didn’t dare to force her lest she despise him. Rena could tell that he wanted her, so she whispered, “Let’s do it tonight.”

She knew that it wasn’t good for him to keep holding himself back like this.

Besides, she was still his wife, and it wasn’t like she wasn’t attracted to him.

Waylen patted Rena’s cheek lazily in response.

A few minutes later, they got in Waylen’s car. Waylen wanted to spend more

time with Rena, so he suggested, “Come with me to the office. I’ll take a nap with you at noon and later, we can pick Alexis up from school together.”

Rena mulled over this for a while before finally shaking her head. “I still need to take care of Marcus.”

Waylen was a little disappointed, but he still followed her wishes and dropped her off at home first.

In the clinic’s parking lot, a big black Mercedes pulled to a stop and a woman got out.

She looked like a rich lady, dressed head to toe in designer clothing.

It was none other than Aline!

She sneered when she recognized Waylen’s car. At first, she thought she was mistaken, but it turned out that it really was Rena that she saw earlier in the clinic.

Everyone thought that Rena had the perfect life, but it turned out that even she had to see a therapist.

And the class reunion was coming…

If this matter was exposed, then who would envy her anymore?

However, this clinic was very high-end, and information on patients could not be easily obtained by outsiders. It took Aline a fortune to pay off a nurse from the record’s office to get Rena’s file, but when she read it, it was totally worth it.

Postpartum depression, distrust in marriage, and little to no sex drive…

This made Aline ecstatic.

Seeing the evil look on Aline’s face, the nurse was a little scared. But Aline just sent the nurse away dismissively. As soon as the nurse left, Aline got in her car and dialed a number. “Is this Duefron Daily? I have a story for you-and it’s a big one.”

Aline told the reporter everything.

After ending the call, she smiled playfully. Broken marriages were worse than divorces.

Would Waylen want to stay with a mentally ill wife? A man like him could have any woman he wanted.

He was in his prime, and many women were more than willing to have his children.

Aline felt happy at the thought of destroying Rena’s marriage. She longed to see how Rena would react, and how Vera would worry endlessly about her friend. As long as she could hurt these two women, Aline was satisfied.

That afternoon, Duefron Daily printed the news.

They published screenshots and Rena’s medical record.

The article revealed everything about Rena’s private life. Her postpartum depression, her sex life, the matter regarding Elvira, Mavis, et cetera…

“Broken Marriage Between The Rich”

“Wealth Can’t Buy Love”

“The CEO of Exceed Group’s True Story Exposed”

These horrific headlines instantly went viral online. Coupled with the recording during the session, it was fair to say that Rena’s and Waylen’s marriage was going south.

Their private lives were exposed to the public in the blink of an eye.
