The document Rena was holding had slipped out of her hands, landing on the floor with a loud thud.

Rena's whole body was stiff as a board.

Before she had come here, she had predicted countless unpleasant scenes, but she never imagined... this.

Waylen actually said that... marriage was a shackle?

He said that marriage was just a piece of paper that ties two people down.

A mere means of manipulation.

Was she tying down Waylen, or was it the other way around?

No matter what the answer was, Rena felt both ridiculous and hurt.

And the diamond ring that she had been treasuring-every time she felt heartbroken while waiting for Waylen, she would look at it and feel happy again. The ring gave her the strength to keep waiting for Waylen, but it turned out that there was a backstory to the ring. It turned out that he didn't put the ring on her ring finger because that position was exclusive to Elvira. Even this ring was supposed to belong to her!

How ridiculous!

She used to mock Elvira for being crazy.

Now it looked like she was the real crazy one.

She waited for him day and night, stewing tonics for him. She was willing to go to Flirean for two years just for him to deal with Elvira once and for all. She had been looking forward to Valentine's Day Like a fool. She was willing to wait for him to finish the meeting. But what did Waylen do? He went to the hospital as soon as Elvira called him.

Why did she even believe that in two years, Waylen and Elvira would cut off all ties? From what she could see right now, they were so ready to tangle with each other for the rest of their lives!

She was the outsider here.

That was enough. That was too much.

That was it.

Rena didn't want to cry. It was too embarrassing to cry in front of them, but she couldn't stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks.

“Rena!" Waylen was shocked to see Rena here.

And judging from the pained expression on her face, she had overheard everything they said just now.

He wanted to explain, but Rena stopped him.

“Don't! Don't you dare come near me, Waylen... Just stay away from me
