Chapter: 691
His audacity infuriated her to the point where she left abruptly.
Waylen didn't chase after her, but he had clearly arranged something.
As she stepped outside, a gleaming black Limousine stood waiting at the door. The driver approached respectfully, saying, "Where would you like to go, Miss Gordon? Mr. Fowler instructed me to take you there.”
Rena refused to accept his offer.
She couldn't shake the feeling that Waylen had set a trap for her.
She wanted no part in it.
It was late at night as she wandered the streets alone. Despite the vibrant neon Lights surrounding her, she couldn't find solace in their glow.
Nearby, she came across a city park, where a Ferris wheel illuminated the night sky with its colorful lights. The joyful laughter of children echoed through the air, filling the atmosphere with innocence and delight.
Rena paused and gazed at the scene before her.
In her thoughts, she envisioned a future where Roscoe and Vera's child would come to enjoy the park. Vera, too afraid to join in the fun, would watch as Roscoe accompanied their child on the Ferris wheel.
They would become a happy family of three.
Yearning to see Vera, Rena purchased some nourishing supplements and hailed a cab to her apartment.
Coincidentally, Roscoe was not present at the time.
She entered and set down the items she had bought.
Observing Vera's pale complexion, Rena surmised that she had been in low spirits and neglecting her meals.
Taking a seat on the sofa, Rena picked up a parenting manual that Lay nearby. When Vera returned with drinks, she noticed Rena holding the book, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.
Vera placed the coffee down and whispered in a trembling voice, “Rena, do you look down on me?"
Rena reached out and gently patted the back of Vera's hand, feigning a relaxed demeanor.
“What are you thinking? Pregnancy is a wonderful thing. Many people struggle with infertility and long for a baby. Now that you're expecting, take good care of yourself. I'm certain the baby will be beautiful upon birth, as both you and Roscoe are incredibly good-looking."
Tears welled up in Vera's eyes as she embraced Rena, overcome with emotion.
“Rena, I'm scared. I fear that I won't be able to bring happiness to this child. It arrived at such an inopportune time. Roscoe... He's been at odds with his family because of this. I'm afraid he won't be able to endure it and eventually gave up on us."
Rena held Vera in a comforting embrace for a while.
