A, serene smile adorned Waylen’s countenance.
Directing his gaze towards the now slightly sober Joseph, he retorted, “Allow me to enlighten you, Rena relies on my power! She is mine and I have never raised my voice in her presence. How dare you insist I chastise her?”
Joseph found himself entranced, lost in a daze.
With a sneer, Waylen added, “Initially, | had no intention of attending this soiree. However, considering the amiable bond between Rena and Vera, I could not bear to cause you embarrassment and thus, I graced the occasion! Since you refuse to collect Vera, allow me to assist in escorting her home.”
Having uttered those words, Waylen promptly took his leave.
Im the aftermath of his departure, the room fell into a profound silence, lngemng for an extended duration. A compassionate soul patted Joseph’s shoulder, advising, “It would be wise to apologize to Mr. Fowler. This time, you erred gravely. No matter how captivating Aline may seem, you must not take her seriously! Her reputation is tarnished. Forsaking Vera for Aline would render you a laughingstock.”
Joseph regained his composure, his mind cleared from the fog of intoxication.
With a hesitant tone, he inquired, “And what of Waylen and Rena?”
Doubt plagued his thoughts, as he believed Waylen did not hold Rena in high regard.
Given the widespread knowledge of Waylen’s unwavering dedication to work and aversion to marriage. Joseph remained skeptical of Ren’s ability to capture Waylen’s heart.
Seated beside Joseph, an individual burst into laughter and remarked, “I cannot determine if Mr. Fowler and Rena will indeed wed, but it is evident that he holds a deep affection for her!”
Have you ever witnessed him publicly shaming anyone? For a woman?
Joseph’s ears absorbed these words, igniting a sudden urgency within him to chase after Waylen without delay.
Eventually, he found Rena and Vera within a tavern Rena mentioned earlier on the phone.
However, Waylen was nowhere to be seen.

Joseph’s anger flared, his heart consumed by a sense of betrayal.
He had been deceived!
But since he was already there, he couldn’t abandon his wife.
Approaching Vera, Joseph gently placed a hand on her shoulder and expressed, “Our discussions should occur within the confines of our home. By divulging matters to Rena, you have caused me considerable embarrasment.”
Vera paused her handwashing upon hearing Joseph’s voice.
