Chapter: 1183
Gnashing her teeth together, Rena picked up her phone and sent a message. It read, "Don't watch her anymore. Leave her alone this instant."
Waylen turned around after he hung up.
Rena was no longer there. The spring chill was all that was left in the long, luxurious corridor.
Waylen thought of what he had said and felt that he had spoken too strongly.
He didn't want to have a falling out with Rena. He was willing to coax her and compromise with her. He was willing to put this matter about Mavis to bed.
Waylen knocked on Rena's bedroom door and said, “Rena, open the door. Please."
He waited for a few minutes, but no sound came from inside the room.
She obviously didn't want to speak with him.
Waylen patiently waited for a few more minutes before he said in a low voice, "Please open the door. Let's talk this over. It's late. Do you want me making enough noise to wake up my parents? Can you please be reasonable, Rena?”
Still, there was no response.
After standing outside for a long time, Waylen decided to give up and go back to his bedroom.
Their relationship was almost at a breaking point.
It was rare for them to see each other after that night. Rena seldom gave Waylen the chance to spend time with her, and he was too proud to talk to her first.
It was the dead of night, and Waylen couldn't fall asleep.
All he could think about was Rena. He was still deeply and madly attracted to her, and he still wanted her sobad. ©
Waylen had to attend a social engagement for work one day.
He was in a bad mood, so he drank a little too much at the banquet. After the party, he got in the car tipsy and dizzy.
The chauffeur knew nothing about Waylen's private life, so he commented while he was opening the car door for his boss, "You're drunk, Mr. Fowler. Mrs. Fowler won't be pleased.
Women don't like their men coming home to them intoxicated.”
Hearing the chauffeur's remark, Waylen just leaned against the back seat.
He took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and lit it. Exhaling the smoke, he smiled bitterly and asked, "Are you sure she even cares?"
He had been living like he didn't have a wife. Right now, he and Rena were more like roommates sharing a house.
