The creaking of the bedroom door heralded Waylen’s return.
Sitting at the edge of the bed, he gently pinched her face and softly asked, “Would you like to get up? Alexis has called several times, inquiring about her mom.”
Rena stole a glance at Waylen and slowly rose from the bed, clutching the quilt around her.
The effects of the wine still lingered, leaving her feeling slightly dizzy.

With a sigh, Rena bent down to retrieve her silk shirt.
Unfortunately, the fabric bore the telltale marks of the red wine, rendering it unwearable.
Waylen smiled, walked into the cloakroom and picked out something for her which he helped her put on.
Rena was angry.
Yet, they were still a couple, and squabbling over their intimate matters would only become fodder for others to ridicule. Besides, she had also experienced pleasure from their liaison…
As Rena combed her long, brown hair, she issued a quiet warning, “Don’t force me to drink anymore.”
Waylen, resting his chin gently on her shoulder, agreed with a nod.
Today had taken an unexpected turn and he couldn’t help but marvel at the surprise of it all.

Rena leaned casually against the back of the car seat, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she considered that the children were being ignored because of their parents’ indulgence in each other.
Waylen stole occasional glances at her, captivated by how beautiful she looked when she blushed.
Amidst their quiet moments, the phone rang, and Waylen promptly answered it.
On the other end was Peter, Mark’s trusted assistant, who greeted Waylen and quickly got to the point. “You won’t believe it. Aline somehow got wind of Mr. Evans and now wants to meet him.”
Curiosity piqued, Waylen inquired, “What did Uncle Mark have to say about it?”
With a smile, Peter replied, “Mr. Evans said he’d wait and observe. The coal industry bigwigs in the southwest have been up to some shady dealings. To bring them down, we’ll have to dig deep into their business to gather evidence and expose them.”
Although Peter’s demeanor seemed friendly, there was an underlying sense of ruthlessness emanating from both him and Mark.
