With a sense of urgency, Rena hastily picked up the phone.

Vera had called to extend an invitation to Rena for her upcoming wedding. Due to Vera's pregnancy and it being her second marriage, they intended to keep the affair understated. The Figueroa family had decided on a low-key celebration, inviting only close relatives and a handful of friends.

Rena sat up, extending her congratulations to Vera.

Unaware of the intricacies between Rena and Waylen, Vera candidly shared the truth with Rena, saying, "We're merely going through the motions, having a meal together."

Rena empathized with Vera's sentiment.
