Waylen took on the mantle of chauffeur, ensuring her safe passage to and from school.
Initially resistant, Darrenâs resolve eventually wavered after an all-night session of chess with Waylen.
At the break of dawn, consent was granted.
With Eloiseâs assistance, Renaâs belongings were swiftly assembled, and Waylen escorted her away.
Downstairs, he loaded Renaâs suitcase into the carâs trunk.
However, her demeanor spoke of unrest, her expression far from jubilant.
As he settled into the driverâs seat and secured his seatbelt, a casual question slipped from his lips.
âYouâre not enthusiastic about living with me?â
An air of unease settled upon Rena.

Stunned, Rena bit her tender lip and murmured, âThis isnât what I want.
â
Waylen, sensing her fear, adopted a playful tone.
âStill anxious, are you? How about I give you ownership of my body too? Then you can be completely assured, right?â
