She let her voice trail off meaningfully.
An ordinary man wouldâve gotten jealous and wouldâve probably vented his anger on Renaâbut Waylen was no ordinary man.
How could he be tricked by an old, scheming bitch?
He made Rena hold his laptop bag and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
As he lit the cigarette, he asked casually, âHarold had a girlfriend before? But Cecilia told me that sheâs Haroldâs first love.
â
Upon hearing this, Kristaâs mouth snapped shut.
She then turned to look at her son with an unnatural expression.
After a moment of awkward silence, she quickly changed the subject.
âOh, I just meant to say that Renaâs father is an accountant at the Moore Group.
â
âIs that so?â Waylen slowly blew a smoke ring and flicked the ash off his cigarette.
âThe way you put it, I was actually thinking that Harold was a heartless man who abandoned Rena.
Maybe I was wrong!â
Krista felt embarrassed by the obvious implication in Waylenâs words.
At this time, Harold spoke up.
âOh, Waylen, you think too much! I donât know Miss Gordon at all.
â
Waylen cracked a smile.
He ruffled Renaâs hair dotingly while saying, âGood! Thatâs a relief.
â
Rena looked at him with admiration.
For once, he used his sharp tongue for good.
Waylen was a handsome man who oozed confidence in his every move.
Rena couldnât help but swallow whenever she stared at him for too long.
Harold had dated Rena for four years.
He could tell that she had feelings for Waylen.
Stiff with anger, Harold said to Krista gruffly, âLetâs go.
â
Neither Krista nor Addie were reconciled, but they obediently left with Harold.
As soon as they were in the car, Addie lost her temper.
âMom, why didnât you expose Rena? Haroldâs going to marry Waylenâs sister.
So Waylenâs definitely on our side, right?â
âShut up!â

Krista snapped at her, âYou fool! Canât you read the room? Waylen holds all the cards.
He has the power to call off the wedding!â
Addie was stunned.
Krista ignored the stupid expression on her daughterâs face and looked at her son.
âHarold, you should know how important this marriage is! Youâd better not contact Rena anymore, or else!â
Harold sat in the driverâs seat in brooding silence.
Krista knew that her son was a proud man, so she didnât say anything more.
She just trusted that heâd do what he needed to do.
Besides, although he and Rena had dated for four years, she believed he didnât really love her.
His pride was probably just hurt now that Rena was dating someone else, and heâd probably forget about her once he married
Cecilia, As for Rena and Waylen, Krista doubted theyâd ever get married.
