?Waylen approached her, leaning over to observe her closely, his Adam''s apple bobbing with emotions.


    Untying his tie, he released her from its confines.


    She sighed softly, her voice tender. "Waylen... You scoundrel."


    Knowing her desires well, he whispered in her ear, "Would you like to take a shower first, or shall we continue?


    Rena held him close, kissing him passionately....


    Their ardor intensified.


    The ambiance in the bedroom was undeniably romantic. As they kissed, Waylen whispered sweet endearments, urging her to say his name. "Rena, look at me and say my name."


    But suddenly, Rena ceased all motion.


    Softly, she murmured into his ear, "I''ll sleep with Lexi tonight. Good night, Mr. Fowler."


    Rising from the bed, she gently patted his handsome face and remarked, "Mr. Fowler, you should also savor this feeling." Waylen made no attempt to stop her.


    Instead, he leaned against the headboard and observed her as she got out of bed, straightening her clothes. A gentle smile adorned his face as he remarked, "I never expected your endurance to be quite remarkable."


    Rena yfully scolded him, calling him a refined scoundrel.


    Chuckling, Waylen''s flirtatious charm didn''t escape her, leaving her unable to meet his gaze.


    Heading to the guest room, she indulged in a refreshing shower before retiring to bed.


    Then, her phone chimed, revealing a message from Waylen. "I miss you so much."


    Upon reading those words, Rena couldn''t help but smile.


    Though she didn''t respond, another message soon followed. "Come and sleep with me. I won''t do anything... I simply wish to hold you in my arms as we slumber. Tomorrow morning, I''ll go jogging, fetch you a rose and gently wake you."


    For several years, Rena had been entangled with him.


    In truth, she knew his intentions well. He hadn''t forced himself upon her since her return; he clearly yearned to start anew, to be in a real rtionship with her...


    Closing her eyes gently, she pondered her feelings toward Waylen over the years - the love and the resentment.


    It was all about Waylen.


    She refrained from answering him, knowing well that he didn''t really mind her response. He simply relished the pursuit, savoring the chase. They coexisted under the same roof, and she refused to let their lives revolve solely around Alexis.


    In the days toe, Rena resolved to be more confident and dignified.


    If Waylen truly desired her, he would have to pursue her and win her heart.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    She longed to hold the reins of her love, deciding for herself how much to give him.


    The next morning, as Rena awoke, she discovered a fresh rose gracing the bedside table.


    Caressing its petals, memories of their time together flooded back.


    He had often gifted her flowers before, but back then, she failed toprehend the depth of his feelings as she did now.


    Rena suppressed her affectionate impulses.


    After freshening up, she descended to the main floor, where Alexis and her father were already enjoying breakfast.


    She noticed some crumbs scattered around the table.


    Waylen, sipping his coffee leisurely, perused the morning newspaper.


    As she approached, Alexis dutifully wiped her mouth and began to eat in a poised manner.


    Rena gently kissed her daughter.


    Putting the newspaper down, Waylen beamed and remarked, "She''s obedient when you''re around."


    His words carried a pleasant tone.


    But Waylen didn''t stop there, adding, "I''m obedient to you too. Whatever you ask of me, I shall do. Anything you don''t wish for, I''ll refrain from doing... I''ll be attentive to your wishes."


    Rena gently bit her lips, her voice a hushed whisper, "Please don''t mislead Lexi."


    Unperturbed by Rena''s remark, Alexis continued with her meal...


    Waylen''s demeanor turned serious as he inquired, his eyes aze, "Did you sleep wellst night?"


    Ignoring him was Rena''s response and he could see through her silence.


    The atmosphere the night before had been overly romantic. Rena felt unable to face sending Alexis to school with Waylen after such an intimate encounter. Instead, she remained at home, meticulously cleaning and tidying up the rooms upstairs. Since she moved in, she had taken on these responsibilities.
