Rena planted a tender kiss on Alexis’s tender cheek and replied dotingly, “I love it.”

As she spoke, she pressed her face against the little girl’s cheek.

Standing there, Waylen just stared at them.

After breakfast, Rena went upstairs to change her clothes. She picked out a silk shirt and a fishtail skirt. Just as she was taking off her pajamas, the bedroom door creaked open.

Seeing what Rena was doing, Waylen was startled at first. Then he slowly closed the door behind him.

Ignoring him, Rena continued to change her clothes.

Her spine bulged slightly when she bent down, possessing an irresistible allure.

Waylen leaned against the door and said softly, “Jazlyn said you have an appointment with the doctor today?”

Rena buttoned her shirt up, pulled her long brown hair out of the collar, and combed it. As she did so, she said, “Something came up, so I have to cancel.”

The truth was that she refused to ever set foot in that clinic again.

Without giving him any more details, she walked out of the bedroom, brushing past him.

Waylen grabbed her hand, calling her name anxiously. “Rena!”

Rena gracefully broke free from his grasp and looked at him in a composed, steady manner. “Waylen, that’s it. We don’t have to force each other. Just Live your life, and I’ll live mine.”

After a short pause, she added, “I’ll respect whatever you choose.”

When she was about to go downstairs, Waylen’s voice sounded from behind her. “I won’t Let you go!”

“I don’t care!”

Rena’s legs buckled from underneath her, and she leaned against the wall for support for a few seconds

It was just that Aline raked up Rena’s past love affairs, yet he couldn’t stand it. He doubted her Love for him, but actually, what he wanted was just that Rena belonged to him completely.

Smiling bitterly, Rena steadied herself and kept walking as though nothing had happened.

When she arrived at the garage, she got in the car.

Instead of sitting in the passenger’s seat, she sat in the back seat with Alexis. Along the way, she talked to her daughter, only occasionally talking to Waylen if it was about the children.

Since Rena and Waylen did everything to keep their ramshackle marriage a secret from Alexis deliberately, Alexis remained oblivious to her parents’ predicament.

Grinning widely, Alexis got out of the car and went to school, making sure to wave at them before disappearing behind the gate.

Standing side by side, Waylen and Rena watched her retreating figure.

After a prolonged silence, he wordlessly walked back to the car and opened the door to the passenger’s seat, hinting at Rena to get in.

Rena obediently sat in the car, but then she said, “Drop me off at the next intersection. I’ll take a taxi.”

Looking at the road ahead, Waylen lit a cigarette.

“Where are you going? I’ll just drive you there.”

After a moment of hesitation, Rena gave him the address. Along the way, neither of them spoke a word.

She thanked him when she got out of the car.

But before she could shut the door, Waylen grabbed her hand and sneered, “Rena, we’re married. No need to say thank you when I give you a ride! Why are you acting so distant?”

Rena sat back in her seat and tried to suppress her boiling rage.

“Waylen, if you want to maintain our marriage, you should talk to me in @ proper way. But if you don’t want to, you can just vent your dissatisfaction.”

A hush fell over the car.

After a long time, Waylen stepped on the gas, his knuckles turning white from gripping the steering wheel so tightly.

Maybe Rena was right. Maybe they’d both lead happier lives if they freed themselves from this tortuous relationship. They could still raise their children, and if he wanted to be with a beautiful young lady, he could…

Waylen didn’t want to think about it anymore, so he pounded on the steering wheel with guilt, anger, and anxiety.

The horn of the car blared, startling nearby birds into taking flight.

He had dropped Rena off at the entertainment building. As soon as Rena shut the door, he drove away.

Anyway, he harbored rage.

Rena stood there quietly for a long time before finally forcing herself to walk into the building.

In the afternoon, it was Rena who picked Alexis up from school.

While she was making supper, a servant came over and said, “Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Fowler just called and asked me to tell you that he’s not coming back for dinner.”

Rena was kneading the dough when the servant reported this.

She paused and asked, “When will he be back?”

The servant shook her head and said, “I don’t know. He didn’t tell me about that.”

Rena nodded and continued to knead the dough absentmindedly. Since Alexis was craving for cake, Rena promised to bake a beautiful Little cake for her.

After pondering for a while, Rena came up with a compromise. After the kids grew up, she would reconsider her marriage with Waylen.

She took care of Alexis and Marcus by herself that night. After dinner, she gave Alexis piano lessons, as usual. Marcus was already able to walk. He stood up, held the piano for support, and shook his head along to the music.

After playing the piano for a while, Alexis went to play with her little brother.

It was ten o’clock, and the children had long gone to sleep, but Waylen still hadn’t come back.

After taking a shower, Rena Lay on the bed quietly, her mind blank.

When they had gotten remarried, Waylen seldom committed to social gatherings late at night. Did he do this because of their quarrel?

At this moment, Waylen was in the club.

It was just a normal business dinner, so he intended to leave at nine o’clock initially.

But those men, who sat near him, were bombarded by incessant phone calls.

“I’LL be back soon!”

“You’re overthinking it again. It is just a business dinner. There are no girls here.”
