Waylen’s body froze as he heard Rena’s words.

Slowly, he released his grip on her and lit another cigarette, smoking in

silence.

Rena had anticipated his reaction, but it still saddened her.

She straightened herself up and, after a moment of silence, spoke in a low voice.

Waylen, what you want is just a physical relationship. But I desire love, and I even dream of marriage. It’s not suitable for us to be together.

When you grow tired of me and my body someday, resentment will be all that remains.”

Waylen threw the cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it with his foot.

He looked at Rena, her fair complexion and slightly red eyes making her look enchanting.

It was as if he had been hypnotized by her beauty.

He hesitated for a long moment before speaking up.

“Rena, I admit that before being with you, I saw relationships as transactions. I invested a certain amount of money and energy, expecting a return. I didn’t think it was wrong. But I don’t only want to have *** with you. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to pursue you.

Rena locked eyes with him, sensing that he hadn’t fully expressed himself.

Waylen continued in a soft tone, “Rena, I don’t know how long we can be together, but I am serious about you. I have never pursued any woman before you. You are the first.”

Rena lowered her gaze, contemplating his words.

His confession touched her, but she yearned for more than mere attraction.

He gently pinched her chin and said, “Rena, I like you.”

Yet, it wasn’t love.

He given too much of himself to a woman in the past, and her betrayal had crushed him. He hadn’t ever since had the feeling of being willing to do anything for someone else ever again.

“While he did genuinely like Rena, his emotional attachment didn’t consume him as it would in a deep love.

However, it was far from the extent that he couldn’t sleep or eat well.

He just felt uncomfortable because his original life was interrupted.

Waylen realized that he shouldn’t have revealed this to Rena, knowing that no woman would be pleased to hear it.

However, he couldn’t bring himself to lie to her.

Stepping back, he regained his composure and said, “I’m sorry, Rena. I can’t give you what you want.”
