While pulling away, the chauffeur Looked at the girl from the rearview mirror and couldn't help but comment, "She's quite stunning. She Looks a lot like Mrs. Fowler, but it seems that she's had plastic surgery.

Mr. Fowler, do you think she changed her face to look just Like Mrs. Fowler?"

Absentmindedly Listening to the chauffeur's chitchat, Waylen fell into deep thought once more.

He found himself missing Rena.

He was heading back so Late. Would she ask him where he had gone? Would she still care?

It was nearly 12 o'clock when Waylen finally returned home.

The soft glow of the hall light greeted him as he entered, and an air of tranquility enveloped the entire house.

Waylen ascended the stairs, first checking on the children in their rooms before Loosening his tie and making his way back to the master bedroom. Rena had already fallen asleep, and the room was illuminated by the gentle moonlight.

Standing at the foot of the bed, he gazed at her for a while before stepping into the bathroom.

The smell of cigarettes and alcohol clung to his coat and shirt. He shed them and placed them in the laundry basket before taking a refreshing shower.

Once he was done, he slid into bed and Lay down beside Rena.

Even though she breathed calmly, he knew she was awake. She simply chose not to engage in conversation with him.

Waylen pressed a tender kiss on the back of her neck and whispered, “Don't you want to ask me about tonight?"

Rena's body tensed up slightly, and she remained silent.

Recalling the teasing remarks from the people at the banquet and Rena's suggestion of finding a young girl, Waylen felt a sense of dissatisfaction. He wrapped his arms around Rena's slender waist, drawing her close to him.

As they made love, neither of them uttered a word.

The room was filled with hushed emotions, a silent release of pent-up feelings.

Afterward, Waylen was thankful that he remembered to wear a condom.

Rena didn't take a shower but instead drifted off to sleep, still lying on her side.

Quietly, Waylen Lifted the quilt and got up.

While in the shower, his mind pondered how they had come to this point in their relationship.

He couldn't decipher Rena's feelings. If anything, this encounter had left him in an even worse mood.
