Rena’s felt her throat grow parched.
“I’m not the one Harold loved,” she uttered.

Although Aline didn’t know about it, Rena no longer wanted to dwell on it. And she wouldn’t say this to Cecilia.
As long as Cecilia was leading a content life, Rena was happy for her.

Waylen was standing beside the car, chatting away with Roscoe. From time to time, he would take a drag of the cigarette lodged between his slender fingers.
As soon as he saw Rena, Waylen immediately put out his cigarette.
In response, Rena held his hand and gave it a weak squeeze.
“When I got there, I realized that I had nothing to say to her.”
Shortly after, Vera and Joseph came out.
Roscoe ran to Vera and wrapped her in his embrace. Seeing that Vera’s eyes were a little red, he placed his hand on the back of her head and buried her face against his shoulder.

For a long time, Joseph just stood there like a statue. After some time, he finally managed to nod and reply, “Okay.”
After that, he entered the car, started the engine, and slowly drove away.
With the hatchet finally buried, whatever ties connecting both Joseph and Vera had finally been severed. From now on, the two of them would no longer have anything to do with each other.
