Just then, the butler knocked on the door.

“Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Kyle Watson and Mr. Albert Watson want to see you.”

Rena turned to Waylen and searched for an answer in his eyes.

In response, Waylen pinched Rena’s cheek.

“They’re here because of you.

Mark’s not here. I’ll go ahead and entertain them.”

After saying that, Waylen swiftly left the room.

Once he was gone, Rena stood up and sat down in front of the mirror where she combed her long brown hair with her fingers. As she did, her mind raced and entertained different thoughts.

She had been ignoring Kyle for a while now. Perhaps it was time for her to see him.

She got up, tidied herself up, and got changed. Then, she headed toward the living room.

Once Kyle saw her, he smiled and greeted, “Rena, how have you been? Six months pregnant, right?”

Rena smiled at him.

The servant served her a bowl of nutritional soup. However, since she didn’t have a good appetite, she only managed to finish half of the bowl.

But when Waylen was the one who personally made her breakfast, Rena ate the food with much gusto.

Albert had been observing their interaction for a while and was surprised.

He always thought Rena and Waylen lived carefree lives with multiple servants to serve them well.

He never expected Waylen would cook breakfast for Rena himself.

The more he thought about it, the more Albert realized that he couldn’t bring himself to do that.

This realization made him ponder whether he truly had feelings for Rena.

Rena paid no heed to Albert’s feelings for her.

Her attention was largely focused on Kyle because she wanted the project he was involved in.

Both she and Kyle were cunning people.

Rena deliberately didn’t mention anything about guiding Albert. She just smiled and said, “I’m pregnant. I don’t pay attention to the business stuff.”

Hearing this, Kyle sank his head in disappointment.

Despite the implicit rejection, Kyle and Albert still stayed for lunch.

Once they were done eating, Waylen continued his business talks with Kyle.

Rena, on the other hand, decided to enjoy the beautiful day outside and smell the scent of the roses in the big garden.

With a pair of scissors, she decided to prune a bunch of the champagne roses.

Once she was done, she handed over the severed branches to the servant.

Expecting the servant to be behind her, she turned around but was startled by Albert’s presence instead.

“Why are you here?”

Albert was standing behind her. Up close, she could feel a quiet rage simmering deep down Albert.

Albert placed the freshly cut roses aside and questioned, “I’ve done as you told. I’m sick of sleeping with that woman. When will you fulfill your promise?”

Rena simply glanced at Albert and turned her attention back to the roses.

She continued to cut the roses, intending to get a bunch of roses for Cecilia to put them in the bedroom for viewing.

Growing impatient, Albert gnashed his teeth and grabbed Rena’s wrist.

Rena didn’t take too kindly to this.

“Let go of me,” she said coldly.

“Show some respect.”

Albert reluctantly pulled his hand back and shouted awkwardly, “I don’t want to do anything to you. I just want to know when you’ll assist me with my business.”

Rena put down the scissors and sat down with her hands resting on her belly.

“Why are you in such a hurry? I’m working on it.”

Despite her assurance, Albert was still disgruntled. He thought Rena was currently on vacation. She was either sleeping to nourish the baby inside her or trimming the flowers in the garden all day long. She was leading a comfortable life. How could she be doing anything serious?

Albert didn’t believe Rena’s words.

“Are you really capable of this?” Albert asked, his eyes warily narrowing at Rena.

Rena continued tending to the roses, seemingly oblivious to Albert’s questions. She marveled at the beauty of these stemmed roses and wondered how elegant they would look once put in a vase.

After a while, she smiled at Albert and replied, “Just wait.”

With his nerves on edge, Albert thought about smoking, but on second thought, he decided not to.

At that moment, Waylen approached them.
