Female NovelPaisley cleared her throat lightly, pondering the situation. “What are they trying to do here?”
After contemplating for a moment, Rena replied, “It truly isn’t suitable to accept these. We shall return them later.”
Paisley gave Rena a thumbs up and praised her for her beauty. “You look splendid in light-colored clothes. Whenever you wear them, you stand out from the crowd. It must be your complexion, Rena. Your skin possesses a delicate radiance.”
Rena smiled, appreciating the compliment.
She glanced at her watch and noted that it was already half past eight, realizing the advancing hour.
The anticipation grew as Rena hoped for Waylen’s imminent arrival…
She refrained from interrupting his work, opting not to call him.

Rena stepped out onto the terrace and dialed Waylen’s number.

A slow pallor overcame Rena’s face.
She mustered a smile for Eloise and reassured her, “Perhaps he’s on his Way.”

Hope still lingered in her heart. She yearned for him to make a grand entrance at this pivotal moment in her life and utter those cherished words, “Congratulations, my little morning dew.”
But he failed to appear…
The dinner party pressed on, lasting until 10:30. Guests gradually departed, one after another. Even Darren and Eloise departed in their car, yet Waylen remained absent.
His phone continued to remain powered off.
Rena understood Waylen’s work and his cautious nature. He rarely switched off his phone.
