He had intended to openly compete with Robert for Rena's affection.
However, such a course of action would only cause Rena undue embarrassment .
Therefore, Waylen made the decision to bide his time.

Rena sat in the backseat of the taxi.
Tears cascaded down her cheeks.
She genuinely did not wish to shed tears for Waylen, as he was not deserving of such emotional investment. However, she just could no longer restrain the flood of tears.
The taxi driver proved to be quite the conversationalist.
“Did you have a disagreement with your boyfriend?
The man who hailed the taxi for you earlier is incredibly handsome. He also appears to be affluent.
Don't cry, young lady! Let me enlighten you, if you act distant towards him, he won't exhibit a sense of superiority and will immediately strive to please you! Trust me, I have plenty of experience..."
Rena found herself torn between Laughter and tears.
She wiped away her teardrops and gazed out the window, choosing to remain silent.
It took her a good half an hour to regain her composure. She yearned for a night of perfection.
Finally, Rena arrived at the grand banquet hall.
Robert had yet to make his entrance but Rena spotted Roscoe and Vera amidst the crowd.
They appeared as a radiant couple, embracing each other in synchronized dance.
As Joseph's wife, Vera naturally garnered considerable attention being with another man at the party. Numerous individuals engaged in discussions about her. Furthermore, Roscoe was also renowned as a notorious womanizer in Duefron.
Rena felt a sense of worry, fearing that Vera might encounter trouble.
She lingered in a corner for a while, when suddenly her phone began to ring.
It was a call from Robert.
He expressed his apologies over the phone, explaining that he might not be able to attend the banquet that evening due to a pressing matter at home.
