Waylen released her, adjusting his shirt casually.

"Miss Gordon, do you want a husband or a man who can satisfy your needs? Think it through, and then we can have a proper conversation.”

Rena's eyebrows twitched with frustration, but she gathered her dress with trembling hands.

Her voice was soft as she asked, "Do you want to divorce me?"

Waylen observed the blue veins on her forehead.

He found them oddly captivating.

He couldn't resist gently touching them, but he responded ruthlessly, "No, | won't. After all, we still have two children to raise."

Waylen looked at Rena, finding her undeniably beautiful even in her pregnant state.

But living with a woman was not something he was interested in.

He went into the study and returned with a document in his hand.

Then, he gently handed her the document.

Sitting across from her, he looked composed and formal.

"Miss Gordon, I'm willing to raise our two children together,” he said with an air of detachment.

"But you need to sign this separation agreement. Once you do, I'll provide you with the corresponding alimony and visit the children once a week."

Rena felt a sense of humiliation wash over her.

She couldn't help but think that this was no different from divorce.

She considered pleading with him to reconsider, but she knew it would only push him further away

In fact, she should be glad.

Inwardly, she acknowledged that at least he was acknowledging their children’s existence, but her heart remained heavy.

The man she loved was sitting before her, and yet she couldn't even embrace him, fearing his aversion. She couldn't figure out what he was thinking about her and Elvira.

But she could never compete with a dead person.

Rena read through the separation agreement he had drawn up.
