Rena remained silent for a while.
Then, she smiled faintly and said, âOf course, things are different now that we have a child.
We canât keep quarreling like before.
â
As she spoke, her demeanor exuded gentlenessâa side of Rena that Waylen had always admired.
They were alone together in the middle of the night, and their child was sleeping peacefully in the next room.
Waylen swallowed, his eyes filled with desire as he looked at Rena.
Noticing his gaze, Rena tried to maintain her composure and said calmly, âFind a chance to have a good talk with her.
Itâs getting lateâ¦â
She intended for him to leave for now and come back to pick Alexis up the following morning.
Waylen raised his hand to check the time, and then looked back at Rena.
She had no intention of letting him stay overnight, but he longed to.
He whispered, âIâm exhausted.
And I have an important meeting tomorrow morning.
Can I sleep in the guest room? I wonât disturb you.
â
Rena nodded silently.
She led him to the guest room, but she didnât enter herself.
Waylen tossed his coat onto the bed and turned around.
Observing that Rena hadnât followed him in, he asked with a faint smile âAre you afraid of me?â
âIâLL get you some towels,â she replied, avoiding his question.
He stared at her without saying anything.

After she left, he sat at the edge of the bed and loosened his tie with a sense of frustration.
As he rummaged through his suit, he failed to find his cigarette case.
Instead, his hand landed on a small box-the gift he had purchased for Rena in Hondrau.
However, Rena had refused to accept it.

Waylen held the small box in his hand, his eyes reflecting an unreadable mix of emotions.
