Rena cast a glance in Ceciliaâs direction, the latter unable to retort.
Rena felt sympathy towards her.
As Waylen ascended the stairs to freshen up and change, Rena followed him into the bedroom.
She remarked, âIt was right of you not to disclose Edwin to him.
If he genuinely loves Cecilia, he will eventually find out.
â
Waylen proceeded to remove his attire.
Turning his head with a smile, he quipped, âYouâre not just defending your uncle but also Cecilia! Rena, how did I not realize this before?â
Rena selected a suit for him and responded, âYou need not tease me about it! In truth, itâs none of my businessâ¦â
After uttering those words, she found herself enveloped in his embrace.
Her back pressed against the wardrobe.
Waylen placed one hand upon her slender waist, while the other gently caressed her face.
âNo, you are Ceciliaâs sister-in-law.
Help me take care of her, will you?â
Rena wrapped her arms around his neck, a smile gracing her lips.
âAre you not afraid that I might side with my uncle?â
Taking a step closer, Waylen whispered in her ear, âI confronted him and we both injured.
Who do you feel sorry for?â
He playfully flirted with her.
Renaâs lips met his, as she whispered, âI donât sympathize with either of you.
â
Waylen chuckled.
His mood had significantly improved, perhaps due to the emotional burden he had carried in the past two days, and he yearned for intimacy with her.
Despite the limited time and the inopportune moment, he gently slipped his hands beneath her clothes, ensuring her comfort.
Afterwards, she leaned against his shoulder, gasping for breath.
Waylen embraced her tenderly, holding her close for an extended period before finally speaking up.
âDonât accompany me later! My father has a volatile temper.
Itâs inevitable for him to utter harsh words.

Rena shook her head in disagreement.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she replied softly, âNo.
As Ceciliaâs sister-in-law, I must accompany her
After those words escaped her lips, Waylen fell into a deep silence.
Rena lifted her gaze, her eyes filled with concern.
âWhatâs the matter?â
He brushed his fingers against her ear and said in a husky voice, âYou said youâre Ceciliaâs sister-in-law.
Rena, am I still your husband in your heart? Do we still have a chance to reconcile?â
