Chapter: 1253
He hadn't expected her to enjoy herself so thoroughly.
Her captivating looks and figure were undeniably appealing even to a 24-year-old young man.
Waylen, the highly respected lawyer in Duefron, now resembled a jealous husband catching his wife in an act of infidelity, seemingly out of place in this setting.
Already, some individuals had approached Waylen with greetings.
"Mr. Fowler, are you here to indulge in some fun as well?"
Rena's slight surprise was evident; she hadn't anticipated his presence in this place.
Waylen nonchalantly discarded his black windbreaker onto the sofa, taking a seat opposite Rena.
As he lowered his head to light a cigarette, he remarked, "Ms. Gordon, your private life seems quite enjoyable.”
With those words, an air of tension became palpable and others sensed that Waylen was feeling jealous.
Unable to confront an actor directly, he could only subtly hint at Rena.
Undeterred, Rena gracefully flipped her long hair and responded with a faint smile, "It does."
She harbored no intention of stopping him from having fun here. After all, they had divorced and now they both had to be civil about it.
They continued to play a few more rounds of cards.
Luck was not on Waylen's side but Rena seemed to be on a winning streak. Occasionally, the young star would offer her advice. Although they weren't particularly close, they didn't deliberately exclude Waylen either.
Finally, it dawned on Waylen.
Rena had genuinely divorced him.
The hints of nostalgia and reluctance she occasionally displayed were not for her own feelings but rather out of consideration for Waylen's memory. ©
The time she had spent with him was solely for the sake of their children.
In reality, she didn't miss him at all.
Up until this moment, Waylen had held onto the hope that they might reconcile.
However, he now realized that it was merely wishful thinking on his part.
It wasn't that Waylen couldn't reclaim Rena but they were both people of high social standing, and they couldn't afford to let others ridicule them.
