Staring blankly into space, she ran her fingers over the book she was reading before she fell asleep on the sofa earlier. She had expected this to happen since Waylen started dealing with Mavis’ affairs.

If she were single, she would fight for the man, but she was a mother now. She had Alexis and Marcus to think about.
If she continued to fight for a relationship that was doomed to fail because she was the only one willing to save it, then she would be setting a bad example for her children.

Rena opened the drawer of her bedside table and took out two documents.
One was a separation agreement, and the other was a divorce agreement.
It was early the next morning.
‘As always, Rena took care of the two children. She helped Alexis get ready for school and nursed Marcus.
Rena and Waylen hadn’t been getting along well lately, but they made sure that their children never saw them arguing or fighting. However, as a sensitive child, Alexis knew that something was wrong.

Rena was startled by her little girl’s question.
She pinched her little face and smiled, “Would you like to live with Mommy? The house I’m getting is very close to your school. | can drive you and then pick you up every day.”
She could even take Marcus to pick up Alexis should the weather permitted.
On his way downstairs, Waylen happened to overhear what Rena told Alexis.
Would Rena really take the kids and move out?
Waylen came over and sat down next to Rena. He didn’t want to pick a fight with her in front of their daughter, so he said in a low voice, “Have the driver take Alexis to school. We need to talk.”
