After the divorce female CEO

Chapter 106



Chapter 106 The Silent Treatment 

Waylen surmised that Rena’s anger had reached a profound depth, causing him to tread cautiously amidst her fury

He delicately whispered in her ear, He is but a trifling figure. Is it truly worthwhile to unleash such fury upon me?” 

The lateness of the hour dissuaded Rena from engaging in a verbal clash 

with him

In response, she softened her disposition and tenderly embraced his waist, speaking words of trust. I place my faith in you.” 

Then, she closed her eyes and, after a while, succumbed to slumber. Waylen, however, found sleep elusive

As he beheld her cherubic visage, he clenched his teeth in frustration. Indeed, she was soundly asleep

Despite the discord that had transpired between them, she seemed disinclined to engage in communication or seek resolution

Waylen’s temper was far from amiable

With her aloofness, he refrained from further attempts at appeasement

The dawn arrived

Upon awakening, he discovered Rena absent from their shared resting place.

The distant sounds of domestic chores reached his ears

Reclining on his back, Waylen reflected upon the events of the previous night. He concluded that their relationship ought not to be in such disarray

A quarrel should never have marred their connection

Having arrived at this realization, Waylen arose, freshened himself and

donned his formal attire

A light gray shirt, black suit pants and a distinguished trench coat 

adorned his frame

He fastened his watch and proceeded to exit the room. Rena was busying herself with setting the table

The morning sunlight bathed her figure, endowing her with an air of gentility. Yet, Waylen couldn’t forget the tempestuousness she had exhibited the night before

Seating himself, he savored a cup of coffee and perused the morning 

newspaper

Rena prepared a delectable egg salad sandwich for him

Waylen took a bite and marveled at its superior flavor, surpassing even the sandwiches served in restaurants. Thus, he gazed intently at the culinary masterpiece before him

Noticing his fixed stare upon the sandwich, Rena took a seat beside him and inquired gently, Doesn’t it taste good?” 

Waylen directed his gaze towards her

After a brief pause, a smile crept across his face as he uttered, It tastes exquisite!” 

Rena remained silent, sipping her milk at a leisurely pace

Waylen observed her drifting into absentmindedness once again

With no words exchanged, he simply took his coat and exited the premises. Rena followed suit, retrieving the shoes he intended to wear from the entryway. If she treated another man in the same manner, he might become complacent

But Waylen did not. The more tender she grew, the more distanced he felt

Now, Rena simply viewed and treated him as her sugar daddy

Waylen couldn’t ascertain whether this was beneficial or not. Regardless, it failed to bring him happiness

He fixed his gaze upon her and spoke indifferently, I will be departing for a business trip to Heron in two days. Would you like to accompany 

me?” 

Rena displayed surprise

After contemplation, she responded, I have to give Danna lessons twice this week. I may not have the time to accompany you.” 

Waylen did not press the matter and proceeded to open the door

As Rena stared at the closed door, she pondered if this was a form of silent treatment

In reality, their conflict was not significant and they had not engaged in a major quarrel. However, after witnessing him dining with that captivating client, Rena found it impossible to treat him as she once did. At the very least, she couldn’t engage in any intimate gestures with him 

now

She was human, not a mere automaton

Once Waylen departed, Rena diligently tidied up the apartment

At noon, a call from the pawnshop interrupted her tasks

Anxiously, Rena hastily answered, Hello, any news?” 

The apologetic voice of the manager came through. I’m sincerely sorry, Miss Gordon! Your necklace was purchased by a middleman but, regrettably, he did not provide any contact details. Despite our best efforts, we failed to locate him

A tinge of disappointment washed over Rena

After a prolonged silence, she said softly, If you receive any updates, please inform me. I am willing to repurchase it at twice the price.) The manager offered words of solace

Rena caressed her phone, a melancholic air about her

The opportunity to reclaim her mother’s heirloom had slipped away. Following the events of the previous night, Rena felt compelled to seek employment

She needed to establish a sense of independence. Otherwise, she would find it difficult to detach herself from Waylen when their relationship inevitably ended

Her resume was impressive, ensuring she could secure a job without 

Chapter 166 The Stent Treate 

much difficulty

However, she desired to secure something more substantial

Around noon, Eloise called, inviting her back home for lunch

Upon returning, Rena discovered that it was her twentyfourth birthday, Eloise had prepared a magnificent threetiered cake and a table adorned with an array of delectable dishes.

Darren, sporting a smile, playfully placed a birthday cap on Rena’s head and exclaimed, Fortunately, I can partake in celebrating your special day! I have never missed a single one of your birthdays.” 

Eloise playfully nudged him, cautioning him to choose his words carefully

Rena’s eyes glistened with moisture

She embraced them tightly

Although they were not her biological parents, they showered her with 

boundless love

At least now, her father was safe

In that moment, the grievances from the previous night dissipated, replaced with a sense of gratitude

Amidst the lunchtime conversation, Darren inquired about Rena’s employment situation

After a momentary pause, Rena replied, I have resigned from my position at the music studio. I intend to seek a new job.” 

Darren harbored no skepticism regarding her statement

Eloise, lost in her own contemplations, summoned Rena to the bedroom after the meal. She closed the door, cutting off any external distractions, and addressed the matter directly. Have you had a quarrel with Waylen?” 

Rena chose not to conceal the truth from her

Vaguely, she responded, In any case, I need to secure a job.” 

Though not explicitly stated, Eloise possessed a keen understanding that Rena must have endured mistreatment due to Waylen

Furthermore, Waylen’s absence during Darren’s illness was a clear indication that he did not regard Rena with seriousness

Eloise quietly wiped away her tears

She retrieved a card from the safe, containing a sum of five million. dollars, which constituted half of Darren’s savings

Rena resisted accepting it

Eloise firmly grasped her hand and placed the card within it

In a choked voice, Eloise uttered, I had no other choice before! I am deeply sorry! Rena, you are currently with Waylen. While the Fowler family is affluent, if you solely rely on Waylen’s finances, you will be subjected to scorn. Purchase some clothes and shoes for him with your own money. Do not constantly try to save money, or they will look down upon you.” 

Rena experienced profound sadness

Eloise continued, I believe you do not need to seek employment. Instead, consider renting a place and establishing your own music studio. I have faith in your capabilities! It is best for you to cultivate your own career.” 

Rena’s gaze descended upon the card in her hands

After a significant period of contemplation, she embraced Eloise tenderly and expressed, “Thank you, Eloise.” 

Eloise, wiping away her tears, added, Do not divulge anything about Waylen to your father. His health is fragile and he cannot withstand any 

distress.” 

Rena nodded solemnly, affirming, I understand.” 

As she departed, Rena faintly discerned the sound of Eloise weeping in 

solitude within the confines of the bedroom

At six o’clock in the evening, Rena arrived back at the apartment

Waylen had returned and Jazlyn was swiftly packing on his behalf

Efficiently, Jazlyn completed the task

Positioned by the French window, Waylen engaged in a grave conversation over the phone. It appeared that there were complications regarding the case

After concluding the call, Waylen directed his gaze towards Rena

The business trip has been rescheduled. It will commence in 

Chapter 106 The Sent Treatment 

approximately a week.” 

Rena yearned to disclose her plans of opening a music studio to him. However, the timing seemed evidently inappropriate to broach the subject. Hence, she softly inquired, What time is your flight?” 

In two hours,he replied

Rena raised her eyes to meet his gaze

She surmised that he was genuinely preoccupied, to the extent that he had no time even for the silent treatment

Just as Rena found herself at a loss for words, Waylen grabbed his luggage and addressed Jazlyn, Rena will accompany me to the airport.” 

Rena stood frozen in place

Waylen tenderly patted her head and proposed, If you change your mind now, I will have Jazlyn book a ticket for you.”
