Yet, wasn't it profoundly hypocritical to shatter her heart and then seek to reclaim it?

What he bestowed upon her was always within the limits of his own willingness, whereas Rena had poured her entire being into this relationship. She had fallen in love with him without the slightest hesitation.

Coming from different family backgrounds, she had been compelled to acquire skills she found distasteful.

Flower arrangement, pastries...

His previous girlfriend was the daughter of the esteemed pianist Lyndon Coleman, which had motivated Rena to abandon her home and pursue further studies in Flirean, all in the pursuit of aligning herself better with Waylen.

Reflecting upon it now, Rena found the entire situation utterly ludicrous.

After sipping halfway through her coffee, Rena finally said in a soft, composed tone, "Waylen, let us bring an end to this relationship."

Waylen gazed at her intently.

After an extended pause, he replied slowly, "Perhaps it is wise for us to separate temporarily and allow ourselves time to find solace."

Rena refused to evade his gaze, her response accompanied by a gentle chuckle.

"By ‘end this relationship,’ I mean we break all ties. No more contact, no calls, no texts on special occasions or birthdays."

Rena concluded her statement...

Unexpectedly, Waylen summoned a waiter and placed an order, stating,

“Two set menus, please."

With a smile, the waiter responded, "Certainly, Mr. Fowler. Your dishes will be served in ten minutes."

Rena couldn't help but interject, her voice tinged with curiosity.

“Waylen?"

Waylen declined to discuss the matter further, stating, “Let us converse after the meal.”

As the plates were presented before them, it was only Waylen who engaged in consuming the meticulously prepared dishes.

Although he had been eating for quite some time, he felt like chewing chalk.

In truth, he was awaiting Rena's remorse. He yearned for her to retract her statement about breaking up.

However, dwelling on past decisions would only yield sorrow. Since Rena had firmly resolved to end their relationship, how could she easily reverse her decision?
