Waylen fixed his gaze upon the young man before him.
Albert was a full ten years younger than him.
He was currently in his prime years, hailing from an esteemed family and possessing striking looks.
Waylen had always felt a tinge of envy, but his jealousy didnât break him.
Instead, it spiced things up between him and Rena.
Initially, he couldnât quite fathom it, but he eventually realized he didnât need to feel insecure because of Renaâs love for him.
After a brief pause, Waylen made a graceful gesture.
Confidence radiated from him.
Unable to contain herself, Rena uttered, âWaylen.
â
Waylen adjusted her coat and murmured, âBid him farewell.
â
Rena deemed his behavior underhanded.
Waylen smiled, putting a considerable distance between them.
He took out a cigarette and put it between his lips.
Bowing his head, he lit the stick.
As he exhaled a puff of smoke, a profound sense of contentment enveloped him.
He mused that single individuals failed to grasp the joys of having a wife and children.
He supposed it was fine if Albert happened to have feelings for his wife.
Waylen would simply regard it as having one more son.
He would just consider it as if there was an additional Harrison in the picture.
Rena couldnât fathom Waylenâs thoughts.
She directed her gaze at Albert and offered a smile.
âCongratulations!â
Albert squinted at her.

The radiant sun made it difficult for him to read her expression clearly.
He felt somewhat irritated and blurted out, âRena, do these past few years mean nothing to you? Iâve held such strong feelings for you, yet youâve never felt any attraction toward me? Iâm quite handsome, you know.
â
Rena let out a subdued sigh.
She realized she couldnât evade the impending conversation.
She deliberated for a moment before speaking softly, âAlbert, if these words came from someone else, I might have ignored them because they wouldnât concern me.
However, your parents have entrusted you to my care.
So, Iâd like to emphasize that your fondness for me is based on your knowledge of my marital status and the fact that I havenât reciprocated your feelings.
Therefore, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons when pursuing your affection.
â
Albert retorted coldly, âDo you always weigh the pros and cons before taking action?â
Rena smiled.
