After a moment's hesitation, he finally confessed.

"I still need to go to Braseovell for that case. Mr. Coleman called this morning, expressing his Lack of trust in Milo to handle Elvira's case. Rena... I have to go back there once more.”

Rena blinked, her eyes reflecting a mix of surprise and concern.

After a prolonged silence, she finally spoke up, her voice soft.

“Is he worried about this case, or are you?"

Waylen remained silent.

Being aware of Rena's pregnancy, he couldn't afford to engage in a quarrel with her.

Exercising self-restraint, Rena said gently, “Waylen, you promised me that you wouldn't go back to Braseovell again. Moreover, the baby is already seven months along. It may be fine if you're at home, but if an urgent matter arises, it will take at least 24 hours for you to return from Braseovell. Did you... Did you not consider that before agreeing to go to Braseovell?"

Waylen recognized her discontent.

He was willing to assuage her worries.

“The baby is in stable condition. I'll only be away for three days. I'll return as soon as the trial concludes, and I won't take on any new cases for the time being.

I'LL remain by your side until you give birth, alright?"

Rena knew that he had firmly made up his mind.

Feeling upset, she asked softly, "When will you depart?"

“Tomorrow morning."

Rena visibly appeared taken aback.

Subsequently, she turned her head, silently gazing out of the window.

No further words escaped her lips

In the evening, as Waylen began to pack his belongings, he attempted to console her.

However, Rena remained discontented.

As they lay down to sleep, she positioned herself with her back turned towards him. Throughout the night, her sleep was restless and troubled.

At dawn, Waylen rose quietly, pressing a gentle kiss upon Rena's lips, his voice hoarse as he whispered, "I'm leaving."
