It was a pair of refined earrings. From a glance, she could tell that they were made using top-grade foreign goods.

Thinking that they perfectly matched her wool skirt, she immediately put them on.

Indeed, the combination of the two was perfect. She looked like an angel bathed in golden Light.

Cecilia admired her reflection in the mirror and fiddled with her new earrings.

“Rena, you really have a good taste!"

Then, Rena started to relay Cecilia's parents’ caution to Cecilia.

This rendered Cecilia speechless. She instantly adjusted herself and listened attentively.

Rena couldn't help but be amused by the shift in Cecilia's demeanor.

After a while, Rena asked softly, "How's your days here? Have you gotten used to it?"

Cecilia was moved by Rena's concerns and gently replied, “Zoey has been nice to me. So has Mark."

Hearing this, Rena exhaled in relief.

However, Albert's presence crossed Cecilia's mind and filled her with worry.

“Will Albert's presence here affect you and Waylen?"

Instead of answering, Rena smirked and playfully poked Cecilia's head.

Later that night, Rena didn't attend the dinner party, saying that she wasn't feeling well.

A sumptuous feast was laid out on the table. When Kyle and Albert learned that Rena wouldn't join them, they both sank their heads in disappointment.

Zoey, however, simply smiled.

“It's not uncommon for pregnant women to lose their appetite. Waylen, go check on her," she ordered Waylen.

Waylen nodded and quickly extinguished his cigarette.

He then picked out some of the most delicious food available and brought them to Rena's room.
