Waylen's laughter filled the air.

With a mischievous grin, he unbuttoned his suit and took the magazine from Rena's hand.

“This one's pretty good."

Rena ceased her argument with him.

She leaned closer to see the page.

As Waylen draped an arm around her shoulder, he gently turned her face toward him, whispering, “After the dinner party, let's go home. And | will personally peel this dress off for you."

Blushing, Rena knew precisely what he had in mind.

However, she also adored the dress.

Waylen indeed possessed excellent taste.

Requesting the service person to fetch the dress for her, Rena made sure not to let Waylen see her in it...

She believed that even as a couple, they ought to grant each other some personal space.

After deciding on her dress, Cecilia headed home ahead of them.

Waylen, Rena and Alexis then proceeded to have their PR photos taken for the Exceed Group.

Rena appeared a bit uncertain.

Sensitive to her thoughts, Waylen clasped the steering wheel and fixed his gaze ahead, inquiring softly, "Rena, don't | deserve you to be courageous for me again?"

Lowering his voice to ensure Alexis wouldn't overhear, he added, “You're willing to be with me intimately but not to marry me?"

Rena leaned against the backrest, gazing at him in contemplative silence.

Coincidentally, the traffic lights turned red, offering them a moment of pause.

With a tender gesture, he leaned over, taking her hand gently, and whispered softly, "Rena, we can be a couple and have a true relationship. | desire more than just your physical presence. | yearn to have you in all aspects... Please, give me a chance. Don't turn me away again."

Rena reciprocated his gentle hold on her hand.

If she truly decided to deny him another chance, how could she lay in his bed and let him have his way with her? She didn't feel anger or engage in quarrels with him because deep down, she still cared for him.

Waylen turned to look at her, his eyes reflecting warmth and depth.
