This realization made him ponder whether he truly had feelings for Rena.

Rena paid no heed to Albert's feelings for her.

Her attention was largely focused on Kyle because she wanted the project he was involved in.

Both she and Kyle were cunning people.

Rena deliberately didn't mention anything about guiding Albert. She just smiled and said, "I'm pregnant. I don't pay attention to the business stuff."

Hearing this, Kyle sank his head in disappointment.

Despite the implicit rejection, Kyle and Albert still stayed for lunch.

Once they were done eating, Waylen continued his business talks with Kyle. Rena, on the other hand, decided to enjoy the beautiful day outside and smell the scent of the roses in the big garden.

With a pair of scissors, she decided to prune a bunch of the champagne roses.

Once she was done, she handed over the severed branches to the servant.

Expecting the servant to be behind her, she turned around but was startled by Albert's presence instead.

“Why are you here?"

Albert was standing behind her. Up close, she could feel a quiet rage simmering deep down Albert.

Albert placed the freshly cut roses aside and questioned, “I've done as you told. I'm sick of sleeping with that woman. When will you fulfill your promise?"

Rena simply glanced at Albert and turned her attention back to the roses.

She continued to cut the roses, intending to get a bunch of roses for Cecilia to put them in the bedroom for viewing.

Growing impatient, Albert gnashed his teeth and grabbed Rena's wrist.

Rena didn't take too kindly to this.

"Let go of me," she said coldly.

"Show some respect."
