He was heading in her direction. Numerous young girls sneakily admired him with sidelong glances.

Rena responded with a faint smile, "Of course it does. But I can't keep him by my side all the time."

Moreover, she couldn't keep a man by her side unless he was willing to do so.

Waylen had to be a responsible father now, managing the kids and handling daily Life tasks. On top of that, he had to juggle work at two companies. Rena doubted he had the energy and time to have any mistresses.

In a twinkling of an eye, Waylen appeared in front of Rena.

Holding Rena close in a warm embrace, he glanced at Cecilia from the corner of his eye and asked, "Would you like a ride back home?"

Cecilia whispered her decline, "No, I'll drive myself."

Acknowledging Vera with a nod, Waylen departed with Rena.

As soon as their car was out of sight, Vera turned to Cecilia and sighed slightly, saying, "Waylen is becoming more handsome. Rena was the only one who could win him over! I can still recall how he used to be such an aloof guy back in those days!"

Cecilia complained, “He was quite the mischievous rascal!"

In a low voice, she continued, "He'd already fallen in love with

Rena and tricked me into thinking she was Tyrone's girlfriend.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have..."

Suddenly, Harold crossed her mind, and she was momentarily taken aback.

Vera gently touched Cecilia's shoulder and consoled her, “Let the past stay in the past! He's no longer here. We must move forward.”

Cecilia managed a smile.

Vera gave her cheek a playful pinch and remarked, “You're such a young and charming one!"

Cecilia's cheeks flushed at her words.

Just then, Mark's call came through.

Cecilia answered the phone and asked softly, “Will you make it back home today?"
