Tyroneâs eves reddened as he recalled Renaâs distress the previous night.
A girl like Rena deserved to be treated well, and Waylen was nothing but a scoundrel in Tyroneâs eyes, who hurt her over and over.
Rena intervened, stopping Tyroneâs anger from escalating.
Waylen longed to embrace Rena in that moment, seeking solace in her presence.
However, she declined his advances.
Speaking to Waylen with polite detachment, she said, âThanks to you, Mr.
Fowler, my father could win the lawsuit and clear his name.
Now that heâs gone and youâre willing to pay his respects, I am grateful.

They had been on the verge of getting married not long ago, and Rena had called him âhoneyâ in their moments of intimacy.
But now, she addressed him as Mr.
Fowler again, creating a painful distance between them.
These words felt particularly harsh to him.
However, Waylen had no choice but to swallow his own sentiments.
He couldnât bring himself to leave, and Rena didnât drive him away.

The following morning, they gathered at Darrenâs grave, Rena clutching a picture of her later father.
Eloise wept inconsolably.
Rena held her tightly, their bond growing stringer as they leaned on each other for support.
The graveyard exuded an air of solemnity.
Everyone connected to Darren came to pay their respects.
Hyatt arrived with Dianna.
Herold came, and even Koroyn end Juliette showed up with Cecilia.
It was evident that the Fowler family still harbored hopes for Rena to become their daughter-in-law.
Though Eloise was grieving, she had discussed the situation with Rena upon seeing the Fowlers.
Rena said flatly, âThey came to see my father off, so just let them be.
â
Eloise didnât know exactly what had happened, but it was clear that Rena and Waylen could not be together anymore.
Thus, Eloise treated the Fowler family as mere guests, their presence no longer significant.
As they scattered Darrenâs ashes, the sky loomed dark and somber.
