NovelBarRena glanced at the tray. There was a bowl of noodles and roasted turkey.
The moment she laid her eyes on them, her stomach grumbled.
She set the book aside and flashed a warm smile.
“I just don’t want to reveal my trump card too soon.”
Even though she didn’t say it, Waylen immediately understood it was for Kyle.

With a smile, he helped her up and guided her toward the table.
Using her fork, Rena picked up a slice of turkey and handed it to Waylen’s lips.
“Grandma must’ve cooked this. Come on. Have a taste!”
Waylen took the bite. After chewing it for a while, he found it shockingly delicious.
As he enjoyed the food, something struck him, prompting him to ask, “You haven’t spent much time with the Evans family. How come you know that?”
Rena took another bite of turkey before leaning closer to Waylen to answer.
“Actually, I’ve lived in this place for two months ever since I gave birth to Alexis.”
This revelation caught Waylen by surprise. He then placed his hand atop Rena’s and said in a hoarse voice, “Rena, I’m really sorry for what you have gone through.”
It was a heavy topic, and neither of them wanted to talk about it.
Rena flashed him a warm smile. “Waylen, it’s alright. I don’t blame you anymore. What matters now is both of us lead carefree and happy lives together. By your side, I feel I’m the luckiest woman in the world.”
Waylen gently stroked her long hair and playfully joked to ease the atmosphere, “Your majesty, thanks for being generous.”

Waylen brushed her cheek with his thumb before walking out of the room.
When he returned to the dining hall, it was alive with chatter.
Kyle intended to make the acquaintance of Mark, so he struck up a conversation with the latter, who returned the enthusiasm. It didn’t take long for them to know more about each other.
Waylen was well aware of Kyle’s intentions, given the latter’s being a shrewd businessman.
With a project that could strike a cooperation with Mark, Waylen decided to join their conversation.
After dinner, Zoey and Eloise took the kids to a nearby place, while the rest of the men continued drinking and talking about business.
Kyle always brought up Rena and how he wanted her to teach Albert a thing or two.
