Female NovelWordlessly, Waylen smiled. In truth, he was disinclined to engage in any disputes due to Harold’s passing.
It would be improper to be irked by things related to the deceased.
Rena didn’t feel the need to explain further.
She cradled Marcus in her arms and played with him for a while.
Meanwhile, Waylen kept company with Alexis.
The study exuded a warm and comfortable ambiance. Waylen couldn’t resist approaching Rena, whispering softly, “Rena, have we reconciled?”
Rena smiled gently, signifying her agreement.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
In the ensuing days, a sense of tranquility enveloped them. Waylen assumed the leadership of the Exceed Group, while Rena was busy with her film projects.
Their two children were also well taken care of. It appeared that the once-violent quarrel between them had waned.
Yet, every now and then, Rena could not help recalling Harold.
Once, she was startled awake in the midst of a dream, lying alone on her bed while Waylen was away on a business trip in Hondrau.
She wrapped herself in her nightgown and approached the window.
The desolate autumn was further intensified by the ceaseless night rain.
Feeling a slight chill, Rena dialed Waylen’s number. After a few rings, he answered the call with tenderness, “Rena, did you have a nightmare?”
She nodded, recounting the dream where Harold had a tragic traffic accident.
In a hushed tone, Waylen inquired, “Do you want me to come back?”
She declined his offer.
A prolonged silence followed and with weariness evident in her voice, she asked, “Are you going to sleep?”
Glancing at the stack of documents on the desk, Waylen replied hoarsely, “Not yet. I want to conclude the negotiation as soon as possible and return home.”
They continued chatting for a while.
Finally, Rena ended the call first.
She couldn’t help but think if she were a few years younger, she might have longed for him to come back and keep her company.
On the other end of the line, after hanging up, Waylen picked up a photo of Rena and gazed at it quietly for a long time.
