Rena extended the cup of tea to him and said, “This is Mr. Carson's undertaking. It holds great promise."

Unable to resist, Waylen inquired, “Is it a token of gratitude for caring for his child?"

Rena perceived his words as unpleasing, despite their truthful nature.

Seated at the table, Waylen intermittently sipped from the sober-up tea and posed the question, “Will Zack accompany you?"

Waylen's discontent was apparent to Rena.

In truth, she wasn't obligated to explain anything, but she surmised that her silence might dissuade him from Letting the matter go tonight.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, she casually responded, “I obtained this project through Zack's connections. Without him, I cannot be accountable to Mr. Carson. So yes, I am bringing him. Besides, it's not just the two of us; the team consists of six individuals."

Waylen remained silent.

By agreeing to her business trip, he conveyed his consent.

His hand delved into his pocket, finding the touch of the petite velvet box.

During their last movie date, he gauged the circumference of Rena's finger with his own hand.

He had accurately estimated Rena's ring size.

The desire to present her with this ring had long resided within him, yet he struggled to find the opportune moment.

Even if Rena declined the gift, he believed her tender-hearted nature would at Least acknowledge his love. He knew she was a kind girl with a soft heart. Just as before, she harbored her own regrets but still consoled Betty.

Now, Waylen regarded Rena as part of his family.

He yearned to take Rena to Betty's resting place and introduce her to his grandmother.

Yet, he exercised restraint. It wasn't the right time.

Someday, when Rena willingly wore the ring upon her finger, he would undoubtedly escort her there.

As Rena had an early morning business trip, she opted not to stay overnight. Waylen summoned the driver to transport her back.

And so, she departed.

Within the opulent villa's grand hall, the crystal Lights exuded a hint of solitude. Seated alone on the sofa, Waylen retrieved the velvet box from his trouser pocket.

With a gentle flick, it opened, revealing a dazzling diamond ring- weighing an impressive 52 carats.
