Eventually, the court declared Darren innocent.

After hesitating for a while, Rena sent Waylen a brief message.

“Thank you, Mr. Fowler."

Three days later, Waylen replied, "You're welcome."

These curt words brought to mind the initial days when they first met.

At that time, he always maintained a reserved demeanor.

Rena smiled gently, not taking it too seriously

In early December, Vera invited Rena to a dinner.

As Rena arrived, she scanned the surroundings and remarked, “Why are we dining at a children's restaurant?"

Vera chuckled and whispered, "Rena, I've been yearning for a child recently."

Rena was aware that Joseph was still having a lot of affairs.

He just didn't bring them home-it was some kind of silent agreement he and Vera had.

She stirred her milk tea gently and asked after a long pause, "Are you sure about this?"

Vera seemed lost in thought for a moment before replying, “After marrying Joseph, I stopped working. I can't live without him. As for his infidelity, I don't care anymore.

Vera looked at her belly and continued, “Perhaps if we have a child, he will cherish me more."

Rena gently held Vera's hand and suggested, "Do you want to work at my studio?"

Her friend shook her head, smiling.

“I'd rather not go and mislead those children."

Rena didn't insist any further.

Vera suddenly coughed and said, “Tomorrow night, I'm celebrating my wedding anniversary with Joseph. Rena, please come and join us!"

Rena hesitated, considering the fact that both Joseph and Waylen belonged to the same social circle.

Would she run into Waylen at the celebration?
