Chapter 148: Chapter 148

Just as he was leaning close to ki*s her again, Rena whimpered softly.

“Please, Waylen.

I’m not feeling well.

Let me take a bath first, okay?”

Waylen chuckled.

“Why are you so afraid?” He gently tucked her long hair behind her ear and ki*sed her smooth forehead.

Then he lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

”

Waylen had a nice figure, but Rena was too shy to look at his naked body.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

And around 5 minutes later, Waylen returned to the bedroom to carry Rena to the bathroom.

Rena, however, refused him.

“I can go to the bathroom by myself, thank you very much.

”

Waylen shrugged.

He didn’t want to force her.

While she soaked in the tub, he took a quick shower in the other bathroom.

When he climbed back into bed, Waylen rested his head against the

headboard, lit a cigarette, and took a long, slow drag.

Since the case he newly took was almost concluded, he was quite relaxed.

Just then, his phone rang, interrupting this moment of tranquility.

Waylen frowned.

Who on earth would call him at this hour?

Clamping the cigarette between his lips, he reached out and pressed the answer key.

“This is Waylen.

”

It turned out that the caller was none other than Frederic Debenham, the police chief.

Frederic greeted him warmly.

“Mr.

Fowler, I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night.

There was a dispute earlier tonight that involved your future brother-in-law.

Can you come over and bail him out?”

Harold?

Waylen slowly exhaled a ring of smoke.

After a while, he replied coldly, “Since you know that it’s already so late in the night, why are you still asking me to go all the way to the station? I’m not Harold’s guardian!”

Frederic chose his next words very carefully.

“Mr.

Moore got into another brawl over a woman in the club.

If you don’t come now, we’ll have no choice but to ask Miss Fowler to bail him out.

”

Waylen snorted, but he didn’t say anything more.

Instead, he continued to smoke slowly until his cigarette was finished, Frederic held his breath, wondering if Waylen would come or not.

He didn’t dare to urge Waylen, so he just stayed silent.

After a long while, Waylen suddenly chuckled.

“Was Harold the one who asked for me specifically?”

Frederic was stunned.

How did Waylen know?
