Chapter: 868
Waylen tossed his coat onto the bed and turned around. Observing that Rena hadn't followed him in, he asked with a faint smile “Are you afraid of me?"
"I'LL get you some towels," she replied, avoiding his question.
He stared at her without saying anything.
After she left, he sat at the edge of the bed and loosened his tie with a sense of frustration.
As he rummaged through his suit, he failed to find his cigarette case. Instead, his hand landed on a small box-the gift he had purchased for Rena in Hondrau.
However, Rena had refused to accept it.
Waylen held the small box in his hand, his eyes reflecting an unreadable mix of emotions.
Rena returned to the room, finding Waylen smoking at the edge of the bed.
With one hand resting on the bed and the other holding a cigarette, he emanated a distinctly masculine aura. Upon seeing Rena enter, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “Do you have a razor?"
Softly, she replied, "No."
"Okay." Waylen exhaled a stream of smoke slowly, extending his hand.
Without hesitation, she handed him the towel and a new toothbrush, but Waylen didn't take them. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her gently, causing her to fall onto the bed.
Before she could react, he pressed himself against her.
“Waylen!"
Rena exclaimed, her anger simmering, but she didn't dare to speak too loudly, fearing she might awaken Alexis.
Waylen grabbed her hand, pressing it onto the bed with one hand while stubbing out his cigarette with the other. Then, he produced something.
Rena lay on the bed, her long brown hair cascading around her face.
Waylen released her hand but exerted more pressure to keep her pinned beneath him. They were so close that Rena hesitated to make any movement.
With some clumsiness, he placed something on her.
It was the pair of pearl earrings.
Waylen, inexperienced in helping a woman put on earrings, accidentally poked her earlobe. Wincing, Rena unhappily said, “Ouch! Waylen, can you be more gentle?"
Her ambiguous words made her appear deeply provocative.
