Chapter 52
Harold had observed the lengthy embrace between Waylen and Rena within the car!
Emerging from his vehicle, Harold exuded a captivating allure, his countenance enhanced by the darkness. Leaning casually against the car, he ignited a cigarette.
He exhaled the swirling tendrils of smoke.
Every detail of the encounter had been imprinted in his mind.
A contemptuous smirk graced Harold’s lips.
Had Rena truly fallen for Waylen in such a short span of time? Didn’t she love Harold the most?
Eyes fixated on the illuminated window above, Harold dialed a number.
“Now is the time to act!” he uttered into the phone.
After issuing the command, he terminated the call, a malicious sneer lingering on his face. “Rena, you brought this upon yourself!”
Upon returning home and flicking on the lights, Rena encountered Eloise emerging from her bedroom, clad in pajamas.
“Why did you come back so late?” Eloise reproached with a tinge of disapproval.
Rena poured herself a glass of chilled water, biting her lower lip as she resolved to keep the truth concealed. “I missed the last bus,” she muttered, opting not to disclose what really happened.
Eloise gazed at Rena intently before speaking up again, her voice filled with warmth. “I shall prepare something for you to eat.” Rena always sensed that Eloise more or less knew what was really going on. However, she didn’t know how to bring up the topic. After all, she held no significance to Waylen.
After a brief lapse of around five minutes, Eloise emerged with a steaming bowl of noodles. Placing it delicately on the table, she encouraged Rena to indulge.
Rena’s hunger was undeniable. In a hushed tone, she expressed her gratitude, “Thank you.”
Seated across from Rena, Eloise observed her intently, her chin cradled delicately in her hands. Rena felt a twinge of unease and inquired, “What troubles you?”

It seemed as though Eloise had wrestled with this question for some time, yearning to ask it. Finally, she inquired, “Did the lawyer named Fowler bring you back? Do you still maintain contact with him?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Rena nodded and replied, “Our paths may not cross in the future.”
Eloise’s countenance dimmed, a trace of disappointment evident.
Rena had once loved Harold deeply and had gone to great lengths for him but his ingratitude had been overwhelming. Eloise genuinely wished for Rena to find a man far superior to Harold.
Alas…
Rena comprehended the thoughts plaguing Eloise’s mind. Tenderly, she clasped her hand and reassured her, “Mr. Fowler and Harold will inevitably become relatives. I dare not even entertain the notion of being with him.”
Eloise let out a slight sigh and voiced her concern. “But he took you out. How could he not even treat you to a meal? And there’s even the lingering scent of cigarettes on you…”
Water nearly escaped Rena’s grasp as she choked on it!
Embarrassment washed over her intensely.
