Seeking to make amends with Cecilia, Mark was willing to comply with whatever Korbyn requested, even succumbing to the pressure of drinking, which hadn’t happened in over a decade.. ©
Indeed, who would dare to force Mark into drinking?
During social events, it was always his secretary-assistant who indulged in the wine, leaving Mark untouched.
As Mark departed, Rena saw him off into his car.
Once the car disappeared from view, Rena returned to her own vehicle, where Waylen awaited her.
Leaning against the car, he smoked with a regal and elegant poise.
Approaching him with a sense of helplessness, Rena spoke, “You and Dad make quite the team. My uncle nearly drank himself to the brim.”
Waylen glanced at her, smiling playfully. “Are you worried about him?”
He pinched her cheek affectionately and added, “I won’t permit you to fret over him, even if he is your uncle.”
Knowing Waylen’s tendency for jealousy, especially when it came to men, Rena chose not to argue. Instead, she motioned for him to get in the car. “Let’s head back. Lexi will spend the night here and we’ll pick her up tomorrow evening.”
Wrapping his arms around her slender waist, Waylen whispered, “That’s what my parents suggested. They want us to have a night to ourselves. Rena, shall we try for a baby tonight?”
Rena was left momentarily speechless.
Despite the driver being present, Waylen remained flirtatious.
‘She murmured, “Waylen, you’ve had a few too many drinks.”
Undeterred, he guided her into the car, yet his mischievous behavior continued even after getting inside. He gently traced her ankle along the curve of her legs, tenderly caressing her heels…
Rena’s heart fluttered.
In the dimly lit car, their breaths intermingled, surrounded by his unmistakable air of pure masculinity.
She perceived he had made a move on her.
But, after a considerable time had passed, he just leaned against her shoulder and softly inquired, “Were you frightened the last time you drove?”
Given her old injury, it was possible that braking could have been challenging and led to an accident…
Even now, after so many days, Waylen still felt a trace of fear.
Rena’s heart melted.
