With gentle strokes, Robert tenderly dried Rena's hair.

Upon completing the task, he encircled her in a loving embrace, whispering from behind, "I Long to spend the night here with you."

Rena's body tensed instinctively.

Delicately disentangling herself, she whispered softly, her voice laced with caution, “Robert, it wouldn't be appropriate."

A bitter smile graced Robert's lips.

He acknowledged Rena's rationality, appreciating her sensible approach.

However, when a woman's love became overly rational, it often signified a lack of wholehearted devotion to the relationship.

There was no trace of desire in her eyes.

Silently contemplating for a brief moment, Robert eventually departed.

As he descended the stairs, the Bentley Continental GT remained parked, its window rolled down. Waylen, indulging in a cigarette, caught Robert's attention.

Robert couldn't help but acknowledge Waylen’s undeniable handsomeness.

In a courteous gesture, Robert nodded towards him.

Waylen, his gaze fixed upon Robert for a long while before finally reciprocating the nod.

Before Robert could enter his own car, Waylen discarded his cigarette, stepping on the accelerator and swiftly drove away.

Watching the departing vehicle, Robert experienced a tumult of emotions.

Waylen returned to his apartment, shedding his coat and carelessly tossing it onto the sofa.

Settling in front of the piano, he positioned his slender fingers upon the ebony and ivory keys, closing his eyes. The sound of Moonlight Sonata, a composition often played by Rena, filled the room.

Waylen possessed a certain level of skill in playing the piano, albeit not a virtuoso.

Yet, he had chosen not to reveal this talent to Rena, deeming it unnecessary.

His intention had always been to remain with her for a year or two before parting ways amicably, compensating her generously with a substantial sum of money as recompense.

However, their relationship had come to an abrupt end in less than two months.

Rena had no desire for any form of recompense from Waylen. All she yearned for was to break free from him and embark on a new chapter of her life.
