Waylen longed for a romantic outing and Rena rarely turned down his requests, yet her demeanor remained gentle but detached.
The vivaciousness that once defined her character seemed to have waned.
In contrast to Renaâs calmness, Waylen grew increasingly dissatisfied.
He yearned for her to display some emotions towards him.
He even wished she would slap him, believing it would be a sign of her former opposition towards him.
Only now did he realize that when she loved him, she couldnât resist indulging in childish behavior and challenging him.
She possessed the audacity to engage in confrontations.
However, now that her love had faded, she treated him politely, maintaining her dignity and ready to leave at any moment.
Damn it!
Waylen found solace in alcohol at the clubâ¦
The room remained packed, filled with familiar faces, including Haroldâs.
Since marrying Vera, Roscoe seldom engaged in clubbing.
He came solely to keep Waylen company upon hearing of his presence, for he had Waylen and Rena to thank that he could marry Vera.
Roscoe comfortingly tapped Waylenâs shoulder and inquired, âAre you alright? I can drive you home.
â
Resting against the sofaâs back, Waylen leisurely exhaled smoke, exuding an alluring and enticing aura.

A few young women also occupied the private room.
They surreptitiously stole glances at Waylen, captivated by his charm, yet none dared to make advances.
Waylenâs reputation for aloofness preceded him, leaving them no choice but to admire him from afar.
Roscoe sensed Waylenâs inner turmoil.
He smiled and remarked, âWith such a captivating face, who could possibly resist your allure?â
âCome on.
â
Waylen narrowed his eyes at Roscoe and slowly uttered, âRena remains uninterested in me.
Roscoe⦠I wholeheartedly devote myself to her.
Why doesnât she feel anything for me? She used to be so nice to me, her face blushing at the mere sight of me and she delighted in our intimate encounters.
â
Roscoe forced an awkward smile.
Indeed, women differed from men.
When they loved a man deeply, they reveled in intimacy but, when love faded, they turned cold.
Fearful of provoking Waylen further, Roscoe simply urged him to return home.
âYouâve had too much to drink.
Allow me to drive you back.
Donât you have a court trial tomorrow?â
