The secretary offered a warm smile before departing as well.
Rena opened the box and beheld a magnificent naked diamond within.
It was a 2-carat pink diamond, a truly extravagant gift.
Rena surmised that Zack had likely expended a significant portion of his hard-earned money to acquire it. She chuckled lightly while playfully chastising him but her eyes betrayed a hint of emotional vulnerability…
Just as her emotions were slightly stirred, the sound of a car resonated from the courtyard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWaylen had returned.
Winter had settled in and he donned a formal suit accompanied by a coat, which accentuated his handsomeness.
The servant assisted him with his luggage, placing it down before respectfully withdrawing.
Waylen removed his coat and approached Rena.
He gently took the box from her hand and inquired, “I saw Zack at the entrance just now. Did he give this to you?”
Rena nodded, withholding nothing.
Waylen gazed at her intently for a moment and spoke with a profound expression, “He is remarkably considerate.”
Rena recognized Waylen’s jealousy resurfacing.
She rose to her feet, assisting him in hanging his coat, and casually inquired, “When is the third hearing?”
Waylen settled into his seat, taking a sip of water from her cup and grinning. “It’s nearly settled. I’ll have a colleague, Milo Wilson, handle the proceedings for the third hearing.”
Rena was taken aback.

How could Waylen not discern Rena’s thoughts?
Although he didn’t explicitly acknowledge his understanding, he enveloped her slender frame from behind as she hung up the garments. “It’s been nearly three months, hasn’t it? The doctor said we could resume our intimacy after three months…”
A faint blush colored Rena’s cheeks.
They hadn’t engaged in any intimate encounters since her pregnancy began.
In truth, she didn’t feel inclined to do so but she knew that Waylen had his needs. Many nights, he would uncover the sheets in the midnight hours and retreat to the bathroom for a solitary cold shower.
Rena shifted the topic, diverting the conversation. “Vera has just given birth to her baby and there will be a celebration tomorrow. Will you accompany me?”
