Now, Rena reclaimed her courage.

She yearned for solitude...

Waylen intended to bestow upon her real estate, stock funds, and cash, the sum total exceeding two billion dollars.

Rena couldn't bring herself to sign.

He whispered softly and serenely, “Accept it. Do not burden yourself excessively with work in the future.

Rena's eyes glistened with moisture.

She signed...

Tears welled in Waylen's eyes. Pausing momentarily, he inquired casually, “What are your plans?"

Rena remained silent.

For a fleeting moment, he appeared dazed.

Naturally, she would not divulge her plans now that they were divorced.

It was all over.

Rising to her feet, Rena beckoned Snowball, fastening its leash. Just before departing, she whispered softly, “I'm leaving.”

Waylen remained seated at the table.

He yearned to offer her a ride, yet feared the pain of witnessing her departure.

He gazed upon her composed countenance, reminding himself that this was for the best. Finally, he averted his gaze, his voice tinged with hoarseness.

"Your uncle's car awaits downstairs."

Rena lowered her head, muttering an affirmation.

It was truly over...

As she grasped the doorknob with trembling fingers, Waylen unexpectedly declared, "Rena, believe it or not, I love you."

Rena faltered momentarily.

Her fingertips brushed against the cold metal doorknob. She then clenched her teeth and turned it.
