Chapter: 924
He thought that perhaps marriage was better kept simple, which was raising children together and only indulging in intimacy on weekends when they both needed it.
The idea of a serious relationship seemed tiresome to him.
But soon, Waylen realized that Rena’s actions weren’t just a display of her emotions. She was genuinely serious about this.
Whenever he returned home from social engagements, she was often absent.
The servants informed him that Rena had gone to the Fowler’s house to take care of their two kids.
Even when she was at home, Rena avoided sharing a bed with him. The distance between them seemed to grow wider with each passing day.

He sat there, his chin resting on his slender middle finger, lost in thought.
After Jazlyn finished her report, she offered a warm smile. “Tomorrow is Saturday. Mr. Fowler, have a good weekend.”
Waylen managed to force a smile in return.
Just as Jazlyn was about to make some suggestions to improve the relationship between the couple, the office door was gently pushed open. In walked a slender figure, the young and good-looking intern, Mavis.
Waylen frowned, feeling a bit annoyed by the interruption.
Curious, Jazlyn asked, “What’s up?”
Holding a small cake box in her hand, Mavis said timidly, “Mr. Fowler, today is my birthday. | made this cake myself, and | wanted to give it to you.”
Waylen glanced at Jazlyn, who graciously accepted the cake and placed it on the desk.
“Thank you.”
But Mavis didn’t leave just yet. She bit her lip and said, her voice filled with emotion,
“Actually… Some of my colleagues are planning a birthday party for me. Mr. Fowler, Jazlyn, I’d like to invite both of you to the party.”
Inside, Jazlyn couldn’t help but think of Mavis as an angelic troublemaker.
However, Waylen promptly declined, “No, thanks. And please remember not to barge into my Office like this in the future.”
Mavis’ face bore a resemblance to Elvira’s, and it seemed quite apparent that she was flirting with Waylen.
Yet, Waylen remembered he had never had any romantic feelings for Elvira, and the same applied to the young girl standing before him. He just… Elvira was gone, and seeing someone who resembled her so closely evoked a sigh of emotion from Waylen. He simply hoped that this girl, who looked so much like Elvira, would find her own path in life.
