Waylen instructed the driver to take Rena home, while he approached a sleek black McLaren, preparing to step inside.
Approaching him, Rena found them separated by the car door.
In a composed tone, she addressed him, âWaylen, I can deal with it when you are distant with me, but⦠Alexis is quite sensitive.
Please refrain from saying such things in her presence.
â
Waylenâs thoughts wandered to the little girl in the photograph.
Resembling Rena with her tender countenance and curly hair, the child exuded undeniable cuteness.
In acold gesture, he nodded, âDonât worry.
â
Rena felt a sense of relief.
As she watched the black sports car slowly vanish, conflicting emotions enveloped herâ happiness and sorrow entwined.
Initially brimming with determination, his demeanor had thrown her into uncertainty.
There she stood for a prolonged momentâ¦
Ross sympathized with her plight, compelled to approach and whisper, âMrs.
Fowler, do board the car first.
Considering your pregnancy, prolonged standing isnât good for your well-being.
â
Placing her hands on her waist, Rena mustered a forced smile.
âYou might be right; my back does feel a tad sore.

Ross chauffeured her back to the villa.
Upon arrival, she secluded herself within the study, drawing all the curtains.
Within the dimly lit confines of the study, Rena reclined on the sofa, intently listening to the recording on the voice recorder left behind by Waylen.
After countless playbacks, she felt a renewed strength stirring within.
In the evening, she collected Alexis and headed to the Fowlersâ residence.
Upon entering, Edwin eagerly rushed over and greeted Rena with warmth, âAuntie Rena.
â
Squatting down, Rena tenderly caressed the little boyâs head.
A faint blush adorned his cheeks.
Observing Edwinâs flushed face, Alexis made a playful expression, thinking he should feel embarrassed by such frequent blushes.
Korbyn and Juliette joined them.
Juliette whisked the two children away to indulge in desserts, while Korbyn inquired of Rena, âHave you seen him?â
