Babel Novel
Chapter 16
To make things up to her, he called Hyatt and told him about the case of Rena’s father.
Hyatt respected Waylen very much as a lawyer, so he immediately agreed to help Rena and made an appointment with her on the spot.
After chatting for a little while longer, Waylen said goodbye to Hyatt and hung up the phone.
He sat at the desk and lit a cigarette. To Rena, he said, “You can ask me for anything you want—anything except for help with the case.”
Rena knew that this was probably the last time they’d meet.
Waylen might’ve want to have *** with her before, but now, he was different. Rena didn’t know what exactly happen, but he seemed to have made up his mind to draw a clear line between them.
Rena wasn’t an idiot. She was sensitive to these kinds of things.
She pretended to be calm and waved her hand dismissively. “No worries. I’m good. Thanks for helping me contact Mr. Larson, Mr. Fowler.”
On the inside, however, she felt a little sad. But she didn’t want to cry in front of him. She wasn’t even his friend, so it was meaningless to get all sentimental with him.
She said goodbye to him and said that she’d take a taxi home.
Waylen didn’t say anything more. He simply smoked his cigarette unhurriedly.
Rena left his apartment dejectedly.
But she didn’t go home immediately. She didn’t want to see the disappointment in Eloise’s face so soon.
Night fell, and Rena walked down the street alone. The Ferris wheel in the downtown plaza came to life with colorful lights. From a distance, she could see the silhouette of a young couple hugging and kissing under the Ferris wheel.
She stopped and looked at the romantic scene quietly.
The night wind blew, whipping against her tear—stained cheeks.
Just then, a golden Bentley Continental GT passed by Rena. Waylen saw her lonely figure standing by the Ferris wheel.
She looked up at it with eyes glazed over with ‘affection. But Waylen wouldn’t be so narcissistic to think that she was thinking about him!
He knew clearly who she was thinking about.

Without hesitation, Waylen stepped on the gas and sped off.
The following day, Rena went to work at the most high—end music studio in Duefron. All her colleagues knew that something had happened to her family, so they flocked towards her to comfort her.
Rena forced a smile. She didn’t want the others to worry about her.
At ten o’clock that morning, a package was sent to Rena. The courier said that it was sent by a Mr. Fowler.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Puzzled, Rena opened the package.
Inside lay a diamond necklace in a delicate velvet box.
