Waylen was akin to a toxic substance concealed within a delectable candy. She knew its toxicity lay within, yet its outer sweetness was irresistible. Resisting its allure proved arduous.
In the end, she sent Waylen a message, expressing her gratitude. “Thank you, Mr. Fowler.” |
Over the course of the following week, Waylen displayed utmost chivalry.
He accompanied Rena on excursions to Duefron, taking her to art exhibitions and renowned restaurants for dinner.
Waylen purposely chose the Mexico restaurant, where Rena had previously dined with Robert.
Coincidentally, they encountered Robert and his fiancee.
An atmosphere of awkwardness permeated the air.
Rena locked her gaze on Waylen and queried softly, “Did you do this internationally?”
Waylen smiled with contentment.
Yes Allow me to reveal your ex-boyfriend’s true nature to you. Look, they make a perfect couple.”
Robert also noticed Waylen and Rena.

Rena found herself at a loss for words. She considered Waylen to be really mean.
During their journey back home…
Seated beside Waylen, Rena gazed at his profile as he fastened his seat belt. With a gentle tone, she inquired, “Why are you so concerned about Robert?”
Waylen glanced at her sideways.
He remained silent for a prolonged moment before answering in a hushed voice, “Because I understand that someone like Robert aligns with your ideal suitor. If he didn’t have an overbearing mother, the two of you would have been together.”
Rena did not refute his statement.
Waylen refrained from further elaboration, as this topic was truly vexing.
He drove Rena back and grabbed her arm when she prepared to exit the car.
“Come to my place the day after tomorrow. I’ll have Claribel prepare a lavish feast.”
Rena hesitated.
“There’s a dinner party with our colleagues from the studio the day after tomorrow.”
Thoughtfully, Waylen remarked, “Don’t consume excessive alcohol. I’ll come pick you up after the party.”
When Waylen beseeched her in such a manner, Rena couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
