Standing outside, Roscoe appeared visibly worn and disheveled, lacking his usual composure.

As Rena closed the door, she prepared a comforting cup of tea for him and inquired softly, “What's wrong? Has something happened to Vera?"

Roscoe took a seat on the couch.

In truth, Roscoe and Rena had not been acquainted in the past. Their connection had formed through Vera, and they had shared several meals together.

Cradling the cup in his hands, Roscoe said softly, "Vera is pregnant."

Rena's reaction was not one of great surprise

Roscoe locked his gaze onto Rena. He knew she had a lot on her plate, but he had no choice but to implore her, "Joseph refuses to divorce

Rena found herself stunned.

Roscoe retrieved a cigarette, lit it and took a deep drag.

Roscoe's words were concise, yet Rena grasped their full implication.

Rena retreated to the kitchen to refill his cup.

She understood the reason behind Roscoe's visit. Waylen, being the nation's top Lawyer, possessed the means and connections. If he could assist Vera, she would have a better chance to divorce Joseph.

Softly, Rena voiced her thoughts, “Aren't you friends with him

A bitter smile touched Roscoe's Lips.

He and Waylen had been acquaintances but recently, it had become difficult for him to reach Waylen. Every time he called, he was told

Roscoe was a shrewd man.

After repeatedly failing to meet Waylen, Roscoe understood the message behind Waylen's actions. Waylen wanted Rena to talk to him.

In a hoarse voice, Roscoe uttered, "Vera is unaware of my visit today.
