Korbyn possessed perceptive eyes, allowing him to discern at a glance that Waylen and Rena were not a genuine couple now.
They were merely deceiving Alexis.
Humph!
Korbyn regarded Waylen as a failure.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Juliette savored her tea in the company of Rena.

Rena refrained from addressing Juliette as Mrs. Fowler.
She still addressed Juliette as “Mom” and graciously poured a cup of tea for her. Rena’s countenance exuded warmth as she modestly lowered her head.
Juliette spoke softly, saying, “I’ve contemplated visiting you lately, but I feared intruding upon your lives. Rena… As a mother, it is only natural for me to hope that you can forgive Waylen. He did err in the past. However, if your anger still lingers, I implore you to teach him a valuable lesson and urge him to shed his arrogance.”
Juliette then tenderly clasped Rena’s hand.
How could Rena resist such tenderness?
She raised her head and gazed at Juliette…
Just then, Waylen approached. He positioned himself beside Rena, his hand resting gently upon her shoulder and softly remarked, “It’s time for Lunch.”
Rena nodded in agreement.
Juliette delighted in witnessing their harmonious interaction, but her mind was burdened by a lingering concern.
Although Cecilia occasionally made phone calls home, she never returned in person.
During the afternoon, Alexis remained at the mansion.

While in the car, he turned his head and inquired, “Are you feeling tired?”
Rena smiled and replied, “Are you referring to taking care of Alexis?”
Waylen tenderly caressed his seat belt, opting to remain silent.
He feared that if Rena were to encounter Elvira today, it might resurrect unpleasant memories.
He yearned to demonstrate his loyalty to Rena, yet it seemed that she remained indifferent.
Waylen had never been plagued by such apprehension before.
