Rena smiled. “Sitting here makes me feel comfortable.”

Waylen couldn’t help but smile back at her, Leaning over to kiss her.

Rena let him kiss her, probably to make him happy. She even wrapped her arms around his neck to kiss him back. Waylen sat down and pulled Rena to sit on his lap.

His coat around her shoulders fell to the ground, and his palm sneakily slipped into her skirt.

She gently bit his shoulder and whispered shyly, “We should go back to the bedroom first.”

Waylen withdrew his hand, patted her on the waist, and teased, “What’s going on in your dirty mind? And where are Alexis and Marcus?”

Rena blushed at Waylen’s teasing, but she also guessed what he was thinking.

She gently stroked his handsome face and answered, “Your parents said that you and I need some alone time to cultivate our relationship, so they picked up the kids earlier.”

Waylen nodded, wrapping his arms around Rena’s waist.

The two fell silent.

Truth be told, their relationship was stable, and they got along well with each other. He was considerate to her, and she was obedient to him.

The only problem was that there was less passion between them these days, and there was nothing wrong with that. It was only normal.

Two more weeks Later.

Aline’s husband was found guilty of homicide and was sentenced to prison for twenty years with no chance of parole.

And just like that, Aline’s family was broken up.

Aline got about 50@ million in cash, but that was it. It was a far cry from the rich life she had dreamed of having.

Rena, on the other hand, didn’t kick Aline when the latter was down. In fact, she barely thought of her.

Unexpectedly, their paths crossed again at the party of the Smith family.

Rena was going to shoot a movie, so she was surrounded by a group of young actors who were eager to act with Flora.

Vera’s husband, Roscoe, always kept an eye on her.

But tonight, Roscoe wasn’t around, so Vera let her guard down. Looking at the handsome young men around her, she touched her face, regretting that she hadn’t worn a more delicate makeup.

Seeing this, Rena asked Vera to restrain herself in a low voice.

If Vera hit on some other guy, Roscoe would kill her!

Vera was about to defend herself when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance. “Aline’s here,” she whispered to Rena in a low voice. “What a cunning bitch! Her husband’s in jail, but now she’s hooking up with a big shot in the entertainment circle.”

Rena turned to look in the direction Vera pointed at. Wearing a gorgeous silver dress, Aline held the arm of a paunchy man.

Aline had lost some weight, so she Looked particularly elegant.

And it was not strange that she was able to hook up with another man in such a short time.

At this moment, she was staring at Rena with unmasked hatred.

But Rena wasn’t afraid of her.

Smiling faintly, Rena whispered to Vera, “The producer Aline’s relying on is not capable at all. His movies always lose money. I think he’s just after Aline’s money.”

Vera was surprised at the news.

Rena smiled. “I had tea with Miss Holt the other day. That’s what she told me.”

Throughout the party, Aline kept her distance.

Rena didn’t care. She continued to socialize until 10 o’clock that evening. She said to Vera, “Vera, you can stay if you want. I’m going back home.”

Vera was surprised. “I didn’t expect that Waylen would keep a tight rein on you!”

Rena chuckled.

It wasn’t that Waylen asked her to go back early, but ever since the school anniversary, she could tell he felt very insecure. Rena understood why he had such a feeling, so she tried to do whatever she could to reassure him, including heading home early.

Their relationship was already a Little bland. After watching the video of Rena and Harold, Waylen always kept an eye on Rena. Rena still thought that there should be someone normal between her and Waylen.

Therefore, even if he kept a close eye on Rena, she didn’t mind.

And she never refused him whenever he wanted to have sex with her.

Rena didn’t bother to explain these things to Vera. She simply said goodbye and then left.

It was cold outside. Rena took her coat and was about to leave.

At this time, Rena heard Aline’s sharp voice coming from behind her.

Rena turned around, only to meet Aline’s hateful gaze. Rena frowned Slightly and asked, “Mrs. Hanson, what’s the matter?”

There was a long, slender cigarette in Aline‘s hand.

Aline Lowered her head and lit the cigarette. After staring at Rena for a long time, Aline sighed and said softly, “Rena, you’ve won. Fred’s in jail. I can only rely on myself from now on.”

Rena shrugged imperceptibly.

Aline took a drag on her cigarette and continued, “I know you must be happy. You did it for Vera, right? I hurt her deeply before, so you took revenge on me for her. Now, you got what you wanted. Are you satisfied?”

ALL of a sudden, Aline narrowed her eyes at Rena and smiled.

*m curious. Since you don’t love Waylen anymore, why are you still with him? You’re rich, aren’t you? The Evans family will never make you suffer. Your uncle is a very capable man, too. What are you afraid of?”

With one brow raised, Rena said calmly, “Aline, do you think everyone’s as self-centered as you? Waylen isn’t just my husband; he’s also the father of our kids.”

Aline burst into crazed laughter, tears rolling down her cheeks.
