Joseph flicked her forehead.

“What? No way! Mr. Fowler is on the rebound. He just broke up with his girlfriend. Rena's good-looking, all right, but she's not Mr. Fowler's type. The son of the richest family in Duefron Lacks nothing when it comes to women.”

Unhappy with his remark, Vera chuckled mirthlessly.

"Is his ex-girlfriend a goddess?"

Joseph hurriedly apologized.

Rena took Waylen to the school library.

Even without makeup, the younger Rena looked pretty. She had crimson lips and pearl-white teeth.

She looked at the handsome man she took to the building and said in a low voice, “Here we are, Mr. Fowler. You can read as many books as you want in here. The library closes at nine o'clock in the evening.” Waylen kept silent.

He walked to a seat. He had seen it in those flashbacks before.

He once witnessed Harold kiss Rena here.

Waylen brushed his fingers on the back of the chair, as if he was touching his Lover.

Seeing this scene, Rena felt her blood rush to her cheeks.

Waylen gazed at her with deep eyes that burned with indescribable emotions. He inquired in a hoarse voice.

"Will you wait for me, Miss Gordon? I'm afraid I won't be able to find my way out when I'm done.”

Rena thought that that was the Lamest excuse she'd ever heard. Weren't lawyers supposed to be creative with their words?

But still, Waylen was Joseph's friend, so she forced a smile and said, “Okay. But I have to be home before the clock strikes 8:00."

Waylen flashed her a faint smile.

He pulled out a chair and looked at her again.

Rena felt her heart skip a beat.

How did he know which one was her favorite seat in the entire Library? Was it just a coincidence?

Rena didn't refuse. She picked up a book, took the seat, and started reading quietly.

One could hear a pin drop in the library. Waylen went to pick up a book on legal affairs. He also bought a cup of Mandheling for Rena from the Library's mini concession stand.
