Tell me, Waylen.
How is that any different from keeping a lover?â
Waylen replied, âI was just trying to help.
I donât have a romantic interest in her.
â
Rena didnât want to have this conversation again.
She stood up and walked to her bedroomâs French window.
Gazing at the blackness outside, she murmured, âYou allow her to get close to you.
You allow her to provoke your legal wife.
You have already crossed the line.
If the chauffeur hadnât been with you today, I bet you wouldâve pushed your limits.
You wouldâve gone to her apartment and let her take your coat.
You wouldâve let her touch you and ki*s you.
You wouldâve taken her as your lover.
You wouldâve let her replace Elvira in your heart.
â
Feeling unsettled, Waylen grabbed a cigarette and lit it.
He was shaking so badly that he almost burned himself while lighting up.
After a while, he said, âYou didnât have to say such harsh words, Rena.
â
Rena didnât quarrel with him.
She just whispered, âThe truth has always been harsh, especially to those unprepared to hear it.
Waylen, the only reason we still share a home is that we no longer share a bed.
Itâs only a matter of time now before our bond breaks completely and Mavis gets her chance to be with you.
Honestly, I think you wonât refuse her.
â
Renaâs heart ached as she spoke.

The truth was indeed strident.
Having had too much to drink, Waylen couldnât stand his alcohol-induced headache anymore.
He stared at Renaâs back and thought arguing tonight wouldnât do either of them any good.
He rubbed his forehead and muttered, âLetâs talk about this tomorrow.
Go to bed.
â
Rena stood still.
When she heard Waylen turn the doorknob, she called after him, âTake your shirt.
I donât want it in my trash can.
â
Feeling like his wife just stabbed him in the chest, Waylen turned and looked at Renaâs back once again.
He couldnât help wondering whether or not she truly loved him.
Did they really love each other?
After Waylen left, Rena slowly walked back to the sofa and sat down.
