âThis is for you, bride-to-be.
â
Cecilia accepted it readily.
As soon as she saw what was inside, her face lit up.
It was a pair of refined earrings.
From a glance, she could tell that they were made using top-grade foreign goods.
Thinking that they perfectly matched her wool skirt, she immediately put them on.
Indeed, the combination of the two was perfect.
She looked like an angel bathed in golden light.
Cecilia admired her reflection in the mirror and fiddled with her new earrings.
âRena, you really have a good taste!â
Then, Rena started to relay Ceciliaâs parentsâ caution to Cecilia.
This rendered Cecilia speechless.
She instantly adjusted herself and listened attentively.
Rena couldnât help but be amused by the shift in Ceciliaâs demeanor.
After a while, Rena asked softly, âHowâs your days here? Have you gotten used to it?â
Cecilia was moved by Renaâs concerns and gently replied, âZoey has been nice to me.
So has Mark.
â
Hearing this, Rena exhaled in relief.
However, Albertâs presence crossed Ceciliaâs mind and filled her with worry.
âWill Albertâs presence here affect you and Waylen?â
Instead of answering, Rena smirked and playfully poked Ceciliaâs head.
Later that night, Rena didnât attend the dinner party, saying that she wasnât feeling well.
A sumptuous feast was laid out on the table.
When Kyle and Albert learned that Rena wouldnât join them, they both sank their heads in disappointment.

Zoey, however, simply smiled.
âItâs not uncommon for pregnant women to lose their appetite.
Waylen, go check on her,â she ordered Waylen.
Waylen nodded and quickly extinguished his cigarette.
He then picked out some of the most delicious food available and brought them to Renaâs room.
Upon pushing the door open, he was greeted by the sight of Rena sitting on the couch.
She was facing the window while reading a book.
The soft light from the window fell on her serene figure, highlighting her quiet beauty.
Waylen had always thought that Rena was stunning.
She was so gorgeous that he couldnât stop himself from staring at her for a few more seconds before approaching her.
He put down the tray he was holding and gently placed his hand on her delicate shoulder.
âHow are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with you?â
