Granting his mother such a status is akin to admitting that I cheated on my wife back then.”
Although Kyle’s wife had passed away, his father-in-law was still alive and held considerable power.
Kyle knew that if he gave his former lover, Albert’s mother, official recognition, his life would become exceedingly difficult due to his father-in-law’s influence.
The driver remained silent.
After a brief pause, Kyle continued in a hushed tone, “Albert has now established a good rapport with Rena. I am relieved. I’ve often heard Zack’s father speak highly of Rena. Zack has changed significantly since he knew Rena.”
The driver nodded in agreement.
Kyle’s mood seemed to have lightened.
Meanwhile, Rena returned home.
As soon as she entered the villa, she received a call from Kyle, who wanted her to change Albert’s lifestyle.
Kyle said, “I haven’t had any prior contact with Miss Hanson, Rena, but I trust you wholeheartedly. Please guide Albert in the right direction. I will be forever grateful to you.”
Rena hadn’t yet changed out of her dress.
She stood by the French window in the living room, wearing a faint smile on her face as she listened to Kyle.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Waston. I will.” Rena reassured him.
Kyle continued to speak at length…
When Rena hung up the phone, ten minutes had passed. Rena rubbed her neck, feeling tired after the social engagement.
She thought that this pregnancy had been easier so far, but her physical strength wasn’t as robust as before.
Rena returned to her bedroom. As she was about to remove her makeup and take a shower, Waylen, who had just put the children to bed, returned to the bedroom and saw her in this state.
“Are you tired?” Waylen asked as he helped Rena sit down and gently massaged her neck.
Rena leaned against the sofa, enjoying her husband’s care. She sighed softly and replied, “A little.”
Waylen continued to massage Rena…
In a hushed voice, Rena said, “Aline has taken the bait. We are getting closer to success now.”
“Really?” Waylen asked, intrigued.
With a lazy smile, he probed, “Please explain.”
Rena held his hand gently and replied coldly, “I’m going to have Wendy bet 200 million on Albert.”
