He even deluded himself into believing that as long as there was no physical rtionship, he remained loyal.


    On a Friday at 5:30 p.m…


    Rena handed the signed documents to Wendy and said, “You can leave after you distribute these.”


    Wendy smiled and said “Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Fowler called and said he wanted to pick up Alexis with you.”


    Rena remained silent.


    Wendy didn’t dare say anything more and left with the documents.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Rena sat there in a daze for a while, and then gathered her things and left.


    As she rode the elevator, she was lost in thought.


    Waylen had been pestering her, not wanting a divorce, and now he was using their children to soften her heart. But he didn’t know that it was exactly because of Alexis and Marcus that she had made this decision so quickly.


    In the Exceed Group’s hall, Waylen lounged casually on the sofa, dressed in an expensive ‘suit.


    He wore a light gray shirt and a ssic ck suit jacket over it.


    He seemed to be in high spirits, and no one could tell that he was facing the possibility of a divorce.


    Rena walked out of the elevator, her heart heavy with conflicted emotions.


    ‘As she reached the foyer, Waylen stood up promptly, his eyes locking onto Rena’s every move. He extended his hand to take her bag, his voice gentle as he said, “There’s an activity today at the kindergarten, but Alexis will be finishing school soon. Let’s go and pick her up together.”


    Waylen’s insightfulness led him to understand Rena’s desire for privacy. He knew she wanted to shield their personal matters from public scrutiny.


    Moreover, Rena longed to see Alexis happy, even amidst theplexities of their situation.


    Complying with Waylen’s suggestion, Rena entered his car.


    The atmosphere between them wasden with tension, and Rena avoided conversation with him.


    The most she asked each day was when he would sign the papers, to which he adamantly refused.


    Waylen’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed his emotions, saying in a deep voice, “Please fasten your seatbelt.”


    Rena came to her senses.


    As she fastened the seatbelt, Waylen started the car, gently probing, “Shall we take Alexis and dine outter? She insisted on dining with usst night.”
