Waylen shamelessly made his request.

Rena refused, but he was so domineering that she had no choice but to acquiesce.

As they engaged in their intimate encounter, Waylen's phone rang, interrupting them.

The number on the screen had no name, but Rena had a hunch it was

Elvira.

She turned her back to Waylen and whispered softly, “Answer it."

Waylen glanced at the phone and promptly turned it off.

He no longer troubled her, opting instead to embrace her from behind.

"I won't see her again. Let's go back to how we were before, okay?"

Rena didn't respond.

Deep down however, she acknowledged that he had performed well that night, and she still had feelings for him. How could she resist when he was being so affectionate?

She tried her best to maintain her composure and not fully yield to his advances.

However, when he sought intimacy once more, she no longer refused.

Rena found herself consumed by a whirlwind of busyness.

Her relationship with Waylen remained stagnant, with him rarely venturing out to socialize. During the nights he didn't come home to sleep, he would be tirelessly working overtime at the law office.

Elvira seemed to have vanished from their lives, leaving Rena unsure of her place in Waylen's heart.

Rena's demeanor towards Waylen became a delicate balance between lukewarm enthusiasm and subtle indifference.

The night before, he had desired intimacy with her, and she had not pushed him away. However, Rena refrained from taking the initiative to please him.

Their intimate encounters had become infrequent, with Waylen only engaging with her once.

Afterward, he would recline against the headboard, smoking in silence.

His eyes were filled with unspoken depth.
