Rena held Vera in a comforting embrace for a while.
âItâs evident that Roscoe deeply loves you.
He will continue to love this baby in the future as well.
Vera, give birth to the child.
Regardless of Josephâs or Roscoeâs reactions, bring this baby into the world.
At the very least⦠You still have me.
I will assist you in raising the child.
â
Vera leaned against Renaâs shoulder, her tears flowing freely.
Normally not one to display vulnerability, the trials of the past year had made her sensitive and fragile.
Rena chose to remain silent, refraining from mentioning her plea to Waylen.
Before departing, Rena left a check for two million dollars, stating that it was a bonus from the music studio.
However, Vera knew that she wouldnât earn that much in a year, given the meager amount of investment she had contributed.
Hesitant, Vera contemplated accepting the generous gesture.
Rena patted Veraâs hand and said, âJust take it.
Itâs for the baby.

âRena, Vera may be somewhat careless, but sheâs not as assertive as you are, your opinion greatly⦠Lam aware of the many ways I have wronged you in the past, but for the sake of my relationship with Vera over the years, please put in a good word for me.
If she is willing to come back, I will pretend as though nothing has happened.
I will never mention a word of it.
â
Rena could sense his anguish.
Calmly, she responded, âJoseph, the truth is, you never truly loved Vera.
When you pursued her, you were still involved with Aline.
True love encompasses loyalty, but you showed no loyalty whatsoever.
â
Joseph was taken aback.
With reddened eyes, he admitted, âRena, itâs all my fault.
Could you please relay a message to her for me?â
Rena subtly shook her head.
It was too late.
Even without this child with Roscoe, Vera could never return to Josephâ¦
After returning home, Rena received a message from Roscoe expressing his gratitude, but he refrained from asking about the outcome of her meeting with Waylen.
Rena knew, however, that Roscoe was eager to learn the result.
Seeking information, she asked around and discovered that Roscoe had engaged in a fierce confrontation with his family.
The Figueroa family insisted that if Roscoe and Vera wished to be together, Vera would need to undergo an abortion and cut all ties with Joseph before being allowed to marry into their family.
They proposed that she could conceive a child at a later time.
The point was they wouldnât allow Roscoe to get involved with a woman while she was still married to another man!
