Waylen's gaze shifted from Tyrone to Rena and Danna, who were seated together in the restaurant. In that moment, a wave of understanding washed over him, illuminating his mind with clarity.

It was obvious that Tyrone's feelings for Rena still lingered, refusing to fade away.

A hint of melancholy draped over Waylen as he lowered his head and gracefully lit a cigarette, his voice resonating with a tinge of curiosity.

“Are you here to pick Danna up?"

Tyrone's laughter filled the air, carrying a hint of amusement.

He had spotted Waylen's interaction with the woman just now.

Extending a hand, Tyrone requested the lighter from Waylen. After taking a drag from his own cigarette, he smiled mischievously and spoke up, his words Laced with a playful tone.

“I had intended to give Rena a ride home too but, with you here, my services are no longer required.

However... I must inquire, did you perchance engage in a rendezvous with the esteemed widow and were you unfortunate enough to be witnessed by Rena?"

A furrow formed on Waylen's brow as he replied, his tone tinged with confusion.

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Despite being just a few years older than Tyrone, Waylen commanded a higher social standing, dissuading Tyrone from teasing him further.

Casting a quick glance toward the restaurant, Tyrone opted for silence, his contemplative thoughts shrouded in the veil of his steady smoking.

Once his cigarette had dwindled to its end, he broke the silence with unwavering determination.

“I mean it, Waylen! If you do not genuinely desire Rena, then bestow her upon me."

Waylen's fingers, grasping the cigarette, trembled ever so slightly, betraying the turmoil within.

Under the neon lights, Tyrone asserted with a conviction that belied his youthful appearance, "I yearn for her!"

Having spoken his piece, Tyrone swallowed hard, his actions betraying an undeniable nervousness.

No longer casting a glance in Waylen's direction, Tyrone swiftly made his way into the restaurant.

Remaining rooted to the spot, Waylen continued to smoke, a sneer playing upon his Lips.

Tyrone was probably truly a force to be reckoned with!

Upon Waylen's reentry into the restaurant, he discovered Tyrone seated next to Danna. Wordlessly, Tyrone observed Danna engrossed in conversation with Rena.
