Chapter 76
Claribel then served Rena her breakfast, apologizing.
‘I’m sorry, Miss Gordon. I had no idea you would be joining us today. Please make do with what we have. Just tell me your breakfast preference, and I’ll make it especially for you from tomorrow on.”
Rena had different breakfast favorites in mind, but she understood she was a guest in Waylen’s house, and Claribel worked for him.
She didn’t feel the need or the right to impose her desires.
With a genuine smile, she replied, “These breakfast dishes are absolutely delightful.”
Claribel breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Rena was easygoing and pleasant to be around. She retreated to the kitchen to continue her work.
Suddenly, Waylen neatly folded the newspaper.
He carefully observed Rena, who was gracefully sipping her milk. Having been born into a fairly affluent family, Rena had always possessed an innate elegance.
Her elegant manners and refined demeanor fascinated him, Waylen had a privileged upbringing and had always been adored by countless women for his looks and accomplishments. However, he was far from being interested in innocent girls like most men were. To captivate Waylen’s heart, a woman had to make him believe she was the perfect match, and her background played a significant role.
He was captivated by Rena’s charm, both in appearance and personality, to the extent that he found himself even willing to move in with her.
Unbeknownst to her, he harbored such feelings. As she finished half a glass of milk, she paused for a moment, contemplating her words. Finally, she spoke up. “I’ve lost all my jobs, except for teaching Danna piano. I have a lesson with her tomorrow evening.”
Waylen nodded in agreement and inquired, “You have a remarkable talent for playing the piano. I’m curious why you didn’t pursue further studies in music.” Considering Rena’s family background, she had the means to pursue higher education in her chosen field.
Her smile turned wistful.
She had once received an admission offer from a prestigious music school abroad and had even packed her bags. However, Eloise vehemently opposed the idea, claiming that she had already sacrificed so much for Rena and couldn’t bear to let her go abroad.
Eloise’s possessiveness over Rena, probably rooted in not having children of her own, had always been overwhelming. Rena had spent a month trying to convince Eloise, but her efforts were in vain, and in the end she reluctantly remained in Duefron.
Her music teacher had pitifully remarked, “Rena, you’re the most gifted student I’ve ever had. It’s such a shame that you’ve chosen to quit pursuing your studies abroad.”
Rena decided not to burden Waylen with these personal struggles. It was her own journey to navigate.
Just as Waylen was about to say something, his ringtone interrupted their conversation.
The message displayed on the screen was from his father, Korbyn.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

His face lit up with curiosity and excitement. Korbyn had finally uncovered some clues about Lyndon’s long-lost daughter, whom he had been searching for tirelessly. He requested Waylen’s presence upon the other man’s return.
Korbyn also sent him a picture.
It was a pink diamond necklace.
Upon seeing it, a sense of familiarity washed over him. It felt too familiar but he couldn’t quite remember where he saw it.
Coincidentally, Jazlyn called at the same moment, diverting Waylen’s attention from the message.
Jazlyn had efficiently arranged bail for Darren, and Waylen needed to sign some documents.
