After signing the contract, she glanced at the time.
It was nearing 11 oâclock, a time when Waylen would typically be absent from their apartment on weekdays.
Rena planned to return and retrieve her belongings.
To her surpnrise, however, Waylen happened to be at home on this particular weekday morning.
Rena opened the door and stepped inside.
Casually dressed, Waylen sat on the sofa, engrossed in reading a magazine.
It was evident that he hadnât gone to the law office that day.
His eyes conveyed anger as he noticed Renaâs presence.
However, he remained silent, seemingly awaiting her surrender.
An uncomfortable feeling settled within Rena.
She cleared her throat and declared, âIâm here to retrieve some belongings.
â
Waylen disregarded her, his attention still fixed on his magazine.
His apathetic demeanor only served to intensify Renaâs unease.
Hastily, she made her way to the master bedroom.
As she began to pack her belongings, she realized that she didnât possess many items.
Most of her clothing, skincare products, and the like had been purchased by Waylenâ¦
Rena had no desire to take those possessions with her.
She put her own things into a small suitcase, its weight barely noticeable.
As she prepared to depart, Waylen leaned against the doorway.
His gaze fixed upon her as he inquired, âMiss Gordon, have you forgotten anything?â
Rena placed the key gently upon the bedside table.

Furthermore, although she hadnât utilized the bank card he had given her in quite some time, it remained within her wallet.
She retrieved it and handed it back to himâ¦
Softly, she uttered, âThe valuable jewelry and clothing are all here.
You can have Jazlyn verify their presence!â
A dark cloud seemed to pass over Waylenâs face.
He snorted disdainfully.
âWhat about the stray dog you used to feed?â
Recalling the white dog, Rena couldnât bear to abandon it entirely.
Perhaps she would return secretly to provide it with sustenance in the future.
However, she replied, âWhat about it? No matter how long Iâve fed it, it has never shown any closeness to me.
So why bother?â
Waylen was left speechless.
