With that, he departed.
As Rena settled into the car, her emotions churned.
Waylen, sensing her distress, gently inquired, âDid you speak with Leonel?â
With a nod, she confirmed.
As Waylen drove in contemplative silence, Rena voiced her concerns.
âHeâs changed so much and seems deeply troubled.

âWhat could possibly happen? Our daughter is the one we should worry about,â
Waylen responded, trying to shift the focus.

She glanced at him and then at Serenity, understanding the undercurrents.

âNow you can chase after your goddess, thrilled that sheâs no longer with Leonel,â Serenity remarked sharply.
Darwin, annoyed, replied, âWhat are you implying? You wanted this divorce.
