Waylen thought for a while and sent a message to Rena that read, “I promise I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”
After sending the message, he waited for a moment, but Rena didn’t text him back.
Waylen put out the cigarette that he lit before making the arrangements for Mavis’ rescue.
He took a look at the villa, which was brightly lit and looking very warm.

Then, he shifted gears and stepped on the gas.

After Mavis was saved, she was admitted to the ICU.
It was early morning on New Year’s Day.
Rena’s eyelids flew open. She lay quietly on the big bed and reflexively reached out beside her. There was nobody there. She was alone.
The grandfather clock downstairs chimed eight times.
Rena jumped out of bed, went to the bathroom, and performed her morning routine. Then, she went to nurse Marcus and keep Alexis company.
At ten o’clock in the morning, Rena gave the servants some gifts. The servants liked Rena very much, and they spoke many words of blessing to her. They wished that Rena and Waylen would live the rest of their lives together happily and harmoniously.
Rena smiled and said to two of the old servants, “Help me clean up the bedroom opposite the children’s room. I’m expecting some furniture for that room delivered in the afternoon.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRena had already asked someone to finish the design drawing of her new bedroom.
It was a master suite into which she intended to move. From now on, she would no longer share a bedroom with Waylen.
Although the servants were surprised, they didn’t dare to say anything.
But they told Cecilia about Rena’s plan in secret.
In the afternoon, Cecilia locked herself in her bedroom and called Waylen.
Waylen was still in Tashkao.
He stepped out of the ICU and answered Cecilia’s call in the corridor. He asked a bit hesitantly, “How’s your sister-in-law? Is she still angry with me?”
Rena hadn’t been answering his calls or texts. He’d been trying to reach her since he left.
