Waylen wrapped an arm around Rena’s shoulder and comforted her silently.
Rena leaned against him and whispered, “Four years ago, he stood here and spat out a mouthful of blood. It seems that that day marked the beginning of the end for him. He failed my mother, Waylen. And | think he spent his last few years on this earth paying for it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten ill.”

He hoped that Rena would eventually let go of all her anger and bitterness toward her biological father. That was the only way she would be able to heal and move on.
It was near noon when Waylen walked out of the cemetery with Rena in his arms. After they got in the car, he said, “Dad invited us for lunch at home. Cecilia has already picked up Alexis.”
Rena’s heart softened. “She likes Cecilia very much.”
Speaking of Cecilia, Rena thought of her uncle and sighed softly.
Waylen stepped on the gas.
He beamed. “Let them handle their own business. She’s no longer young, and he way too old. What a match indeed!”
Rena thought Waylen was being mean.
Waylen reached out, held her hand, and said shamelessly, “I didn’t see you dislike me when you moaned under me.”
Feeling uneasy once again, Rena turned her head.

In the living room, Korbyn was drinking tea. Seeing Waylen and Rena come in, he asked them to sit down.
Korbyn had a complicated feeling.
He really felt sorry for Rena.
When Lyndon passed away, the Coleman family came to report his death. Ann cried and made a scene, demanding Rena to mourn Lyndon’s death as his daughter. Of course, Korbyn stopped all the drama before it got out of hand.
Korbyn could see that Rena was upset, so he said, “You weren’t close to him to begin with.
Just let go. Don’t think about it too much.”
Rena nodded in response.
