Moved by Waylen's desire to know more about Rena, Eloise told the entire story of her daughter's childhood.

Waylen listened closely to Eloise the entire time. Later, they had dinner together. It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Waylen said goodbye and went home.

As soon as he got in his car, he received a call from Rena.

With one hand firmly gripping the steering wheel, Waylen found himself engrossed in Rena's voice emanating from the phone on the other end.

"Waylen, did you visit my mother's place?" she inquired.

"Yes," he replied, his tone noticeably softer than the previous night.

After a moment of hesitation, Rena made her intentions clear.

"We're divorced. Please don't disturb her."

A faint smile crept upon Waylen's lips.

In response, he asked, "Can't | pay a visit to my former mother-in-law after our divorce? | believe she would be glad to see me."

He possessed a mischievous charm that Rena struggled to resist.

After a prolonged silence, she finally uttered, "Fine. Do as you please.”

Just as she was about to end the call, Waylen rushed to say, "Im sorry for what happened last night!"

Rena was left speechless.

Waylen's voice softened further as he continued, "When | saw the morning dew piano, | couldn't control myself. Remember how we used to make love on it?"

Rena was taken aback by the mention of their past experiences.

Amidst the audible rush of breath on the phone, Waylen couldn't help but chuckle.

"Have you forgotten? On Christmas night!"

Rena's grip on the phone tightened until her knuckles turned pale.

Then she abruptly hung up, leaving Waylen on the other end.

After hanging up the phone, it rang again. Rena thought it was Waylen calling back, so she hesitated for a while before checking it.

The persistent ringing turned out to be Vera.
