In the end, he agreed to her request.
Rena didn’t ask the chauffeur to send her back. She wandered around aimlessly along the streets. Suddenly, she found herself in their old neighborhood. Their previous apartment was only two blocks away…
Enveloped in the embrace of twilight, she gazed at the old Ferris wheel, lit up with neon lights that shone brightly in the night.
Tears welled up in her eyes.

It looked the same, aside from the empty spot where the Morning Dew piano used to sit. Sitting down on the sofa, engulfed in darkness, Rena finally gathered the courage to ask herself what the problem was.
What was going on? Didn’t she love him?
He treated her well, and she stubbornly wore the previous wedding ring, unwilling to take it off.
And wasn’t she the one who wanted to start over with him? So why did she refuse to move on now?
Filled with bittersweet memories of the past, she found that she rejected the current Waylen. She didn’t treat him as her husband, but as a mere tool to remind her of the man she loved, the man who didn’t lose his memory and remembered everything about her…
Oh, God. Was she really as cruel as this?
She sat in the apartment without moving all night.
Maybe it was because she was so exhausted that she needed to take a break from it all. At least here, she didn’t need to play the role of a good wife, and her true emotions bubbled up to the surface.

She raised her head and found her husband standing by the door, carrying a bag of takeout food. She didn’t know what it was, but it smelled good.
Waylen said softly, “The kids are asleep. The servants at home can take care of them, so we can stay here for tonight.”
Rena didn’t say anything. She just stared at him quietly.
Waylen reached out to turn on the lights, but Rena quickly stopped him. “No, don’t.”
She didn’t want him to see how fragile she was at that moment.
As soon as Waylen closed the door, he walked towards her. He set down the food, sat down next to her, and hugged her tightly. “Rena, I’m so sorry…”
It was he who ignored her all this time.
