This man seemed to be in his twenties and was a Lawyer. What kind of book could he possibly need from their music school’s library?

Waylen allowed Rena to size him up.

With a faint smile, he stared at her. Then, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He took a long drag, inhaled deeply, and then blew out a cloud of smoke. He just oozed with masculinity.

Rena couldn’t help feeling captivated.

His aura of nobility and elegance was so mesmerizing.

She had always thought that Harold was the best-looking man she had ever met. Now she realized that there was someone with a more stunning face and a more alluring energy.

“Shall we?” Waylen asked, turned on his heel, and started walking. Exhaling audibly, Rena followed him.

She let slide his claim that he got lost. He had been walking in the right direction.

As Waylen and Rena began heading to the library, Joseph wrapped one arm around Vera’s shoulders. Vera smiled and said, “Joseph, did you see the way your friend was looking at Rena? He was ogling her legs as if he was gawking at his wife.”

Joseph flicked her forehead.

“What? No way! Mr. Fowler is on the rebound. He just broke up with his girlfriend. Rena’s good-looking, all right, but she’s not Mr. Fowler’s type. The son of the richest family in Duefron Lacks nothing when it comes to women.”

Unhappy with his remark, Vera chuckled mirthlessly.

“Is his ex-girlfriend a goddess?”

Joseph hurriedly apologized.

Rena took Waylen to the school library.

Even without makeup, the younger Rena looked pretty. She had crimson lips and pearl-white teeth.

She looked at the handsome man she took to the building and said in a low voice, “Here we are, Mr. Fowler. You can read as many books as you want in here. The library closes at nine o’clock in the evening.” Waylen kept silent.

He walked to a seat. He had seen it in those flashbacks before.

He once witnessed Harold kiss Rena here.

Waylen brushed his fingers on the back of the chair, as if he was touching his Lover.

Seeing this scene, Rena felt her blood rush to her cheeks.

Waylen gazed at her with deep eyes that burned with indescribable emotions. He inquired in a hoarse voice. “Will you wait for me, Miss Gordon? I’m afraid I won’t be able to find my way out when I’m done.”

He sat there from four o’clock in the afternoon through seven o’clock in the evening. He didn’t mean to leave.

Eventually, Rena felt drowsy and fell asleep on the desk.

Waylen put down the book in his hand, slowly stood up, and walked to her side. He gently lifted her long brown hair, revealing her white, tender face.

He knew that many people were paying attention to what he was doing. Despite the curious gazes all around him, he decided to kiss her.

He was Rena’s husband. It was natural for him to kiss her.

He leaned in and planted a soft kiss on her mouth.

Everyone whose eyes were on Waylen gasped.

Wasn’t Rena in Love with Harold from the neighboring school?

Who was this man?

Someone secretly took a photo of the kiss and posted it on the campus BBS. The faces of Waylen and Rena in the photo were very clear. Soon, Waylen’s identity was revealed.

He was a Fowler, heir to the Fowler Group and founder of the Sterling Law Firm.

He graduated from a world-famous university. The BBS was bombarded with the news!

Vera, who was scrolling on a webpage, was so astonished by the photo that she almost sprayed her drink all over Joseph’s face. She quickly swallowed and shouted, “What the hell! This is so fucking ridiculous! Mr. Fowler just stole Rena’s first kiss. How can Rena pursue Harold in the future now?”

Waylen was so bold!

Vera knew that Waylen was interested in Rena because she saw he fixed his eyes on Rena’s legs.

Joseph was also taken aback by the news.

How could this happen? Waylen had never gotten involved with any woman. Well, except for Elvira. How could he fall in love with Rena already? Seriously?

Joseph cleared his throat and said, “I bet he was drunk or something.”

Enraged by his comment, Vera pushed him away and walked out. “What do you mean? Rena is an excellent girl. Is Mr. Fowler the only noble one? If he was so noble, then why did he kiss Rena without her consent?”

Joseph hurried to catch up to Vera.

Meanwhile, Rena had no idea that she had just become the talk of the town.

At the library, the Lights were warm yellow.

She slowly opened her eyes, and a smiling handsome face greeted her. Shaking off the daze, she squinted until her vision adjusted. Then, she remembered that the face in front of her belonged to Joseph’s friend.

And she and Joseph’s friend were close enough to each other at the moment to share breath.

With a book in his hand, Waylen beamed and asked, “Miss Gordon, may I borrow $200 from you? I forgot to bring cash with me.”

Rena went crimson.

Didn’t he come from a rich family? Why did he borrow money from her?

However, Waylen wasn’t embarrassed at all. He returned the book and sat back, as if he wouldn’t give up until Rena agreed to lend him some money.
