He glanced at the tonics Laid out on the table and then looked at his mother.

“Mom, what're you doing here?" he asked calmly.

“I heard from Jazlyn that you were under the weather, so I brought some tonics for you. Now that I know that Rena lives with you and has been taking care of you, I'm relieved."

As she spoke, Juliette winked at her son meaningfully.

Waylen didn't respond. Instead, he Looked at Rena, who was clearly so embarrassed.

So he said to his mother, "Rena and I have to leave for work in a while. You should go back first. I saw Ryder downstairs."

Juliette was quite fond of Rena, so she didn't want to leave so soon.

She shrugged off her Chanel coat and unclasped her Rolex, saying, "Then you and Rena go get dressed. I'll make breakfast for you two. I'll let you two go once you've had breakfast!"

Waylen wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel and looked at Rena again.

Her cheeks were as red as tomatoes.

ALL of a sudden, he smiled and said good-naturedly, "Okay. Thanks,

Mom." Then he took Rena‘s hand and led her to the bedroom.

Upon closing the door behind them, he teased, "My mother hasn't cooked for me in years. Because of you, I can finally taste her home-cooked meals again.”

Rena bit her Lower lip shyly.

"She seems to have misunderstood our relationship. I think that she thinks I'm your girlfriend."

Waylen wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him

Then he kissed her deeply

After kissing her for a long time, he rested his forehead against hers and asked gently, “Well, aren't you my girlfriend?"

Rena looked at him in bewilderment.

Then she Looked away and murmured, "I know I'm not."

Waylen kissed her again and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't have any other woman in my life. We sleep in the same bed every night, and we've done a lot of intimate things together. Doesn't that make you my girlfriend?"

Waylen had a way with words. He was truly a capable lawyer.
