Upon awakening, he discovered Rena absent from their shared resting place.

The distant sounds of domestic chores reached his ears.

Reclining on his back, Waylen reflected upon the events of the previous night. He concluded that their relationship ought not to be in such disarray.

A quarrel should never have marred their connection.

Having arrived at this realization, Waylen arose, freshened himself and donned his formal attire.

A light gray shirt, black suit pants and a distinguished trench coat adorned his frame.

He fastened his watch and proceeded to exit the room. Rena was busying herself with setting the table.

The morning sunlight bathed her figure, endowing her with an air of gentility. Yet, Waylen couldn't forget the tempestuousness she had exhibited the night before.

Seating himself, he savored a cup of coffee and perused the morning newspaper.

Rena prepared a delectable egg salad sandwich for him.

Waylen took a bite and marveled at its superior flavor, surpassing even the sandwiches served in restaurants. Thus, he gazed intently at the culinary masterpiece before him.

Noticing his fixed stare upon the sandwich, Rena took a seat beside him and inquired gently, “Doesn't it taste good?"

Waylen directed his gaze towards her.

After a brief pause, a smile crept across his face as he uttered, "It tastes exquisite!"

Rena remained silent, sipping her milk at a leisurely pace.

Waylen observed her drifting into absentmindedness once again.

With no words exchanged, he simply took his coat and exited the premises. Rena followed suit, retrieving the shoes he intended to wear from the entryway. If she treated another man in the same manner, he might become complacent.

But Waylen did not. The more tender she grew, the more distanced he felt.

Now, Rena simply viewed and treated him as her sugar daddy!

Waylen couldn't ascertain whether this was beneficial or not.

Regardless, it failed to bring him happiness.

He fixed his gaze upon her and spoke indifferently, “I will be departing for a business trip to Heron in two days. Would you like to accompany me?"
