Waylen elucidated his stance with clarity.

“Cecilia has previously tried to take her own life, so it is impossible for her to sever ties with Harold now! Since their separation is unattainable, I shall simply allow her to revel in enough amusement.

Eventually, she will grow weary of him! Therefore, it matters Little what kind of person Harold is. As long as Cecilia is content at present.”

Rena experienced a tumultuous surge of emotions.

Though he spoke of Harold, she couldn't help but feel she shared a parallel predicament.

Waylen treated her kindly solely for his own pleasure!

She remained silent for an extended period. How could Waylen be oblivious to her thoughts?

He tenderly caressed her face and whispered, “We however, are a different case! We have feelings for each other. Rena, don't you find my appearance and physique appealing?”

Rena gently closed her eyes.

He spoke the truth!

She was indeed captivated by his looks and physique!

Rena's affinity towards Waylen was unquestionable and the reasons behind it were ambiguous.

It could be attributed to a sense of gratitude, or perhaps it was his pleasing appearance that captivated her. Regardless, there was no denying her fondness for him.

Moreover, Rena found herself in his company solely to bring him happiness.

However, her current state of despondency was in stark contrast to her original plan. She chided herself for allowing such negativity to affect her.

With her gaze lowered, Rena‘s voice grew soft as she confessed, “Your appearance, your physique... I am indeed drawn to them."

Waylen delicately brushed his slender fingers against her Lips, Leaving

Rena blushing and her heart racing with anticipation.

Yet, amidst the flurry of emotions, Rena didn't lose sight of an important matter. She encircled her arms around his neck and inquired,

“Aline has defamed me. Is there nothing I can do to retaliate?"

"Do you place great importance on the opinions of others?" he queried.

Determined to please him, Rena mustered her utmost efforts. With a sincere tone, she expressed, "I don't wish for the children I've taught to be disillusioned with me. I fear they might perceive me as an unworthy individual.”
