Rena refused.
She knew that he was merely using her as an object of desire, devoid of any emotional connection.
However, Waylen proceeded to kiss her, his movements lacking in experience.
Instinctively, he pressed her against the cabinet door, forcing her to kiss him.
Rena’s reflection in the mirror showed tears streaming down her face.
Waylen let go of her with a cold smile. “What a disappointment,” he remarked, holding her chin and touching the tip of her trembling tongue with his fingers.
His voice was low as he stated, “Don’t expect too much. Isn’t it better for both of us if we each take what we need?”
Though he resisted the idea of marriage, the fact that he was still legally bound to Rena could not be ignored.
He was a lawyer, after all, and his reputation mattered.
Divorcing her would expose him to ridicule, so maintaining the appearance of a marriage was essential. If she was willing to, they could even solve each other’s physiological needs every once in a while
According to the separation agreement, he would spend the night at her place once a week. Accompanying the children was the second reason. The main reason was he also had physiological needs.
Rena’s willingness to sign the agreement would be a wise decision in his eyes. ©
After uttering those words, Waylen retrieved a set of garments from the wardrobe.
In the presence of Rena, he donned the outfit, eliciting her quiet, attentive gaze.
Waylen exchanged his attire and locked eyes with her. As he was on the brink of delivering a taunt, his phone interrupted the moment with a jingle.
Peering at the screen, he noticed the caller was Korbyn, prompting him to answer with a casual, “Dad.”
From the other end of the line, Korbyn spoke, and Waylen’s focus returned to Rena’s countenance. With assurance, he stated, “Yes, she’s with me Okay… I’ll bring her back for dinner tonight.”
Hanging up, he nonchalantly mentioned, “Dad wants us back for dinner. ‘m a bit occupied.
You, on the other hand… Go with the child first.”
Rena comprehended it all too well.
His purported busyness was merely a pretext; he simply didn’t wish to fetch her.
Respecting his decision, Rena readily acquiesced. The two descended the stairs in hushed silence.
