NovelBarIn the subsequent weeks, Waylen descended into a state of decadence.
Aside from fulfilling his work obligations, he frequented clubs and bars, drowning his sorrows in copious amounts of alcohol.
Korbyn endured this for half a month but, eventually, he personally intervened and brought his son back home.
He took a bucket brimming with icy water and emptied its contents over Waylen’s head.
Suddenly jolted back to reality, Waylen hastily wiped his drenched face and exclaimed, “Dad!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPointing accusingly at Waylen, Korbyn unleashed a torrent of curses, “What a pathetic loser! Does drowning yourself in alcohol serve any purpose? Will Rena return to you when she sees you inebriated? I suspect witnessing you in such a state will only amplify Rena’s disdain for you. Waylen, have I not taught you anything? As a man, you must fight for what you desire. Do you possess any fewer capabilities than others?”
Waylen’s visage remained stoic and impassive.
He maintained a prolonged silence…
Eventually, he tenderly adjusted the collar of his shirt and replied with a calm demeanor, “Dad, I know it now.”
Korbyn furrowed his brow, his expression filled with concern. “What do you know?”
Waylen gently brushed off the remnants of ice from his clothes, lost in a momentary trance.
After an extended pause, he spoke with a raspy voice, heavy with emotion. “Ever since I ended things with Elvira, I’ve lost the desire to love anyone else. It seems unlikely that I’ll ever fall in love again. So when Rena and I first started dating, I viewed it as a mere… consensual game. I’m aware that Rena has feelings for me but I never intended for our relationship to be permanent.”
In a fit of rage, Korbyn hurled an ashtray in Waylen’s direction.
Korbyn’s anger was so intense that his eyebrows involuntarily twitched.
“You’re toying with her emotions!”
Waylen made no attempt to dodge…
A dark crimson stream of blood trickled down from his forehead. Concealed just outside the door, Juliette experienced a profound ache in her heart.

Korbyn responded with icy detachment, “Do not plead on behalf of this scoundrel. I never expected him to manipulate women’s feelings. I can’t fathom where he learned such vile behavior… Today, I will put an end to him!”
Juliette didn’t dare to plead any further.
Korbyn lit a cigarette and took a deep drag to calm himself down. “Why are you suddenly silent? Why are you suddenly so hesitant to voice out what you have done? You put on quite a show of strength in public,
don’t you? Let me remind you, in the past, you nyould have been labeled a ruffian, It wouldn’t be excessive to eliminate you. So, tell me, are you proud of yourself? Do you believe you’ve upheld the reputation of the rowler family?”
Waylen locked cyes with his father, unwavering and resolute.
Confusion clouded his features as he confessed to his father. “Dad, I never anticipated falling in love with Rena. It was only after she departed that I realized my love for her. I’ve fought relentlessly to win her back, doing things I would have never done before but she rejects me every time. Dad… I’m at a loss as to what I should do to win her over.”
Korbyn hadn’t yet devised a plan, his mind still searching for a solution…
