A subtle shift occurred in Waylen's eyes, indicating that if time permitted, he would have engaged in further intimacy right then and there.

With the morning trial looming, he bid his hasty farewell and departed.

Rena experienced a slight soreness in her body but her presence was required in the music studio alongside Paisley. With no reason to leave

Paisley alone to deal with everything, she decided to rest for five more minutes before going to the studio.

Throughout the entire day, Rena had been attending to her parents’ needs.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that she finally had a moment to return to her apartment and change into an appropriate attire for the upcoming party.

She adorned herself in a delicate, light pink dress that accentuated her slender waist.

She elegantly pulled up her Long, brown hair and embellished her appearance with a pair of pearl earrings.

In the reflection of the mirror, Rena beheld her own beauty and couldn't help but blush.

Perhaps it was because her thoughts were consumed by Waylen. It seemed as though she was selecting her attire with his preferences in mind.

She knew exactly what he liked and which outfits made him yearn to embrace her...

Rena dared not delve further into those thoughts.

Descending the stairs, she readied herself to depart.

This day held great significance for her. Her father and Eloise would be present at the event, and Waylen expressed his desire to see them.

Despite her attempts to remain composed, deep down she couldn't help but eagerly anticipate the encounter.

Perhaps, she was really special to Waylen.

Perhaps, this time he was truly serious...

Seated in the car, Rena reached out to him.

“I'm heading to the hotel. Let me know when you arrive," she messaged.

Approximately ten minutes later, Waylen responded, “Alright.” Rena understood that he was preoccupied with his busy schedule, so she refrained from bothering him any further.

Alone in her car, Rena embarked on a journey towards the hotel hosting the grand party.

Upon her arrival, she was greeted by the familiar faces of her parents and friends and she exchanged warm greetings with each of them.
