Juliette took this as her cue to hand Rena a small delicate box.
Surprised, Rena looked at Juliette questioningly.
Juliette smiled and said lovingly, âThereâs a gold pendant in there.
I picked it out just for you.
Consider it a lucky charm.
â
Touched, Rena smiled and thanked Juliette sincerely.
Waylen looked at Rena with a faint smile.
Rena was annoyed by his teasing gaze, but she felt moved at the same time.
Cecilia soon came inside after she grew tired of playing with Snowball.
In the hall, only one person was unhappyâHarold.
He knew that the relationship between Waylen and Rena had been settled.
During dinner, Korbyn was in such a good mood that he drank glass after glass of hard liquor.

As Waylen piled food onto Renaâs plate, she found it sweet.
However, as soon as she looked up, she met Haroldâs malicious eyes.
Only then she figured out what Waylen was up to.
Waylen was just doing this to spite Harold!
Rena was angry and annoyed, but she couldnât do anything to stop Waylen.
Underneath the table, Waylen rested his hand on her thigh naturally.
From Haroldâs vantage point, he could see this clearly.
Annoyed, Rena pushed Waylenâs hand away.
But after a while, he put it back and even stroked her thigh for good measure.
Rena shot Waylen a warning glance.
But he pretended not to notice.
His deep-set eyes and furrowed eyebrows reflected all the hallmarks of a mature man.
Waylen was busy talking about stocks with Korbyn.
No one could tell that he was doing such cheeky things under the table.
Rena silently put her hand on top of his to prevent him from doing anything reckless.
But unexpectedly, the man simply held her hand and interlocked their fingers.
Haroldâs face was as pale as a sheet.
He never knew that one day, the girl he abandoned would make him feel so much painâ¦
After dinner, they settled down in the living room and had tea.
