She smiled and thanked the servants, planning to make it up to them later. After all, they worked hard and received fixed salaries each month.
Rena asked one of the servants to go upstairs and invite Waylen for dinner.
The servant hurriedly went upstairs but returned with an uneasy expression. “Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Fowler said he has a flight at ten o’clock in the evening and doesn’t have time for dinner.”
A business trip awaited Waylen.

Rena lowered her eyes and smiled. “Well, you should sit down and eat with me then.”
She proceeded upstairs later. Like all virtuous wives, she put the suits back into his suitcase. Finally, she reached the door of the study and knocked. “Waylen, are you going on a business trip?”
Waylen finished sending the last email for work.
He replied, “Yes, for about three days!”
With his briefcase in hand, he glanced at Rena’s belly and asked, “Can you manage it on your own?”
Rena responded with a faint smile, “Yeah.”
Waylen nodded.
He made a phone call and swiftly left for his business trip, taking his luggage with him.
Three days later, he returned late at night.

In the middle of the night, Waylen drifted off to sleep.
But Rena, however, lay awake. No matter how obtuse she might be, she could guess what he was thinking.
His moving back didn’t signify the return of her loving husband.
It was merely to fulfill his physiological needs within the bounds of marriage.
Rena turned on her side, her hand reaching out from under the quilt to gently stroke his handsome face. With red lips, she murmured, “What a jerk you are! Yet | can do nothing to you.”
Waylen seldom attended social engagements later on, but he always had an abundance of work to occupy him.
He treated Alexis well, and the feeling was mutual.
