NovelBarThe reporters were baffled. When they went back to work on their manuscript, they found that Waylen had said a lot, but that it could all be summarized in one sentence.
Waylen’s message was basically like, “What goes on between me and my wife is none of your goddamned business.”
The uproar was quelled by Waylen voluntarily becoming a “simp”.
What Waylen meant was obvious. Even if Rena was mentally unwell and their relationship had problems, he was willing to stick by her side no matter what.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe public opinion then took a turn for the better. Waylen was no longer the object of scrutiny. On the contrary, he became a good man in the eyes of the public.
As a result, both the stock prices of the Fowler Group and the Exceed Group skyrocketed.
But Waylen wasn’t satisfied. After the press conference, he locked himself in his office and listened to Rena’s recorded monologue again and again…
“My husband has lost five years of memories.”
“Though I know he cares for me, past disappointments have made me wary of accepting him wholeheartedly now. I find it hard to let go of my guard and fully embrace love, fearing that with it will come misfortune and betrayal once again.”
“He helped a woman I don’t particularly like and, even then, I forgave him generously and did my part to help this woman as well…”
Waylen listened to it countless times until he knew every word by heart.
He remembered that the night he helped Mavis, he went to Elvira’s grave for the Last time.
He stood in front of her tombstone, saying goodbye to his past.
He thought that doing so would remove any estrangement between him and Rena.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut unbeknownst to him, Rena’s magnanimity was just a compromise that ended up torturing herself. It turned out that she had never been happy this whole time, even after they moved back in together.
Waylen closed his stinging eyes, a stray tear rolling down his cheek.
Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID.
It was from the clinic.
He answered the phone. The director of the clinic was on the other end of the line to personally apologize to him. “Mr. Fowler, I’m so sorry. Mrs. Fowler’s file was leaked due to our negligence, but rest assured this employee has been fired-“
“I’UL sue her,” Waylen said indifferently, cutting the director off.
After hanging up, Waylen looked at his watch. It was almost time to pick up Alexis from school.
Waylen grabbed his keys and took off.
