Rena instinctively took a step back, creating a physical distance between them.

Eventually, he retracted his outstretched hand, realizing her vulnerability.

"You're in a fragile state now. Let me take care of you," he offered.

Rena listened silently, her attentive demeanor revealing her willingness to absorb his words.

Her countenance remained devoid of emotion as she locked her gaze upon him and uttered, "Mr. Fowler, do I have to be any clearer with you? I am aware that you harbor some sentiments for me but every time Elvira faces trouble, you rush to her side without hesitation, leaving me behind and disregarding my emotions!"

As she spoke, anguish gripped her heart tightly, inflicting emotional pain.

Nevertheless, she summoned the strength to force a smile, concealing her inner turmoil.

“Mr. Fowler, I don't want to Like you anymore"

Waylen inched closer, seeking to cradle her head tenderly and rekindle their relationship through a kiss

At the very Least, he hoped to evoke fond memories of their past shared happiness.

Rena stood motionless, unaffected by his gentle actions.

She then firmly pushed him away, her voice laced with defiance as she hissed, "Waylen, don't be so shameless! With your looks and status, countless women would willingly indulge in your desires! There is no need for you to pester me Like this."

"You believe I only seek physical intimacy with you

Rena derisively scoffed, her trembling lips betraying her mocking tone.

“Or what? Marriage?"

Waylen's fists clenched in frustration, the tension evident in his body language.

After a prolonged silence, weariness permeated his voice as he admitted, “Rena, I have no intention of marrying. But I am not toying with your emotions. Marriage simply does not align with my Life plans."

Rena cast her gaze downwards, concealing her disappointment.

A faint smile graced her Lips as she replied, “Do not worry. I have no intention of interfering in your life."

Having uttered those words, she moved to shut the door.

However, Waylen halted her, preventing its closure.

Furrowing his brow, he solemnly declared, "In my eyes, you hold greater significance than Elvira!"
