Seated beside Waylen, Rena gazed at his profile as he fastened his seat belt. With a gentle tone, she inquired, “Why are you so concerned about Robert?"

Waylen glanced at her sideways.

He remained silent for a prolonged moment before answering in a hushed voice, "Because I understand that someone like Robert aligns with your ideal suitor. If he didn't have an overbearing mother, the two of you would have been together."

Rena did not refute his statement.

Waylen refrained from further elaboration, as this topic was truly vexing.
