She refrained from meddling in his private affairs

Her own life kept her occupied as well!

The preliminary preparations for opening the music studio were nearly complete. Rena and Paisley diligently selected an auspicious day to officially unveil their musical sanctuary.

One day, Rena returned from the music studio.

As she settled into the car, a call from Vera jolted her senses. Vera seemed hesitant, contemplating whether to share something or remain silent.

“Has Joseph been troubling you again?" Rena asked, concerned for her friend.

Vera's anger surged instantaneously.

“He's a wretched fool! I've given up on him!" Vera snapped.

“Rena, why don't you keep a closer eye on Waylen...”

Rena's heart sank.

Maintaining a gentle smile, she inquired, “What has happened?"

Vera's anger overflowed as she divulged every detail.

“Waylen has been attending several social events alongside Elvira lately! Moreover, during one of his recent business trips, Elvira accompanied him! Read the newspapers and you'll understand!"

Rena found herself lost in a trance.

As it turned out, Waylen had embarked on a business trip a few days ago, unbeknownst to Rena.

Did their relationship suffer to such an extent, or were they both consumed by their respective busy lives, leaving Little room to inquire about each other's recent experiences?

A wry smile graced Rena's lips.

Addressing Vera, she uttered, “The state of our relationship is not as idyllic as you imagine. Why should I hinder him from seeking companionship or engaging in amorous pursuits?"

Vera stood dumbfounded.

After a prolonged silence, she exclaimed, "Goodness gracious! You possess such clarity of mind!"

In a jesting tone, Rena replied, “I simply gleaned a lesson from Mr.

Fowler himself."
