Her eyes welled with tears as she looked out the window, their shared memories haunting her every thought.
‘An hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the apartment building, and the driver placed Waylen’s luggage on the ground before leaving.
Waylen led the way into the elevator with Rena following closely behind.
His cold demeanor was a stark contrast to the warmth she longed for, but Rena tried to convince herself that this was normal.
Because he didn’t remember her now.
Once inside the apartment, Rena couldn’t help but tremble with uncertainty.
As she took in the familiar black and white decor, she asked in a quivering voice, “Have you been here before?”
Waylen’s taste was evident, but the apartment felt cold, like an empty show home.
He put down his luggage and motioned for Rena to sit down.
He offered Rena a glass of water and poured himself a glass of wine, observing its beauty inside the glass before subtly tasting it.
Rena knew he was thinking about what to do with her.
He pondered the situation, considering how to handle her unexpected presence in his life.
After a sip of wine, Waylen said thoughtfully, “About the past five years… Although | have investigated, | still want to hear your version.”
Rena met his gaze, his captivating eyes pulling her in.
They were clear and attractive. Different from the present Waylen, he was always gentle to her.
She blushed slightly, feeling both vulnerable and intrigued.
Waylen instantly noticed her reaction.
He approached her, gently caressing her delicate face, as if to rekindle a connection from the past. “Tell me,” he muttered in a low and hoarse voice.
Rena wasn’t able to resist.
With a steady voice, Rena recounted their shared history over the past five years.
Waylen couldn’t help but smile at the heartfelt account. “It’s so touching, Miss Gordon,” he remarked sarcastically, “It’s a pity you don’t run a pyramid scheme.”
Rena was taken aback by the unexpected response, but Waylen continued, running his fingers along her face, teasingly saying, “You love me very much, don’t you?”
