After the divorce female CEO

Chapter 270 Waylen, I Think I 

Should Set You Free 

Rena ran downstairs with her hair, disheveled. 

She looked everywhere in the villa, but didn’t see Waylen, who was not even in the basement. 

She wondered where he could have gone. 

As she was lost in thought, a slender figure entered from outside, shrouded in the soft glow of 

the light. Rena couldn’t see his face clearly, but she knew it was him. 

“Waylen!” She threw herself into his arms, seeking comfort and reassurance. 

Waylen held her 

。・ with one hand and gently rubbed her neck. “What’s wrong?” he asked in a 

soothing tone. 

Rena pressed her face against his chest and expressed her fear as she said, “Waylen, I’m scared. 

I’m afraid that if you leave, you’ll never come back.” 

“Silly girl, how could that be? 

Don’t cry, or I’ll feel sorry for you,” 

Waylen coaxed, guiding her to sit down while placing a bag of breakfast on the table. 

Still feeling somewhat dazed, Rena realized he had gone to buy breakfast. 

Waylen tenderly touched her cold face, smiling gently. “You haven’t had a good appetite lately. You used to love breakfast from this shop, especially the soy latte. So I bought it for you,” 

he said as he handed her the delicious treat. 

With her fingers trembling, Rena took a small sip of the soy latte. 

The taste was somehow salty, akin to tears. 

Sitting beside her, Waylen watched her eating. 

After Rena had took a few bites of her breakfast, he broached a difficult topic. “Rena, I’ve contacted a high-end sanatorium. The environment there is very good. I want to go there for 

treatment.” 

The fork in Rena’s hand fell onto the table, revealing her inner turmoil. 

Waylen wanted to help her pick up the fork, but she acted quickly, taking care of it herself. 

He looked at her silently, understanding that she couldn’t accept the situation. 

Unfortunately, he believed it was the best choice at the moment. 

He had been gradually forgetting her and Alexis. There were only brief moments during the day. when he could remember them. When he eventually forgot them, he wouldn’t feel any

attachment to them anymore. 

Being together in such a situation would only cause pain. 

He gently explained, “Rena, maybe through the treatment, I can get my memories back.” 

Rena’s lips trembled. 

She knew he wouldn’t have chosen this path if the situation hadn’t been so severe. 

Alexis was his life, and Rena knew he wouldn’t have chosen to leave their daughter unless he absolutely had no other choice. 

Overwhelmed with sadness, Rena had been crying incessantly, and her voice was now so low that it was hard for Waylen to bear. He held her gently, trying to comfort her. “Don’t cry, okay? If you cry, the baby in your belly will cry too.” 

Rena clung to his shirt, seeking solace in his embrace. 

In the afternoon, Waylen once again secluded himself in the basement. 

Rena stood at the entrance, her fingers gently caressing the thick door. 

She didn’t dare go in. 

She was afraid to see his distant gaze, to witness him reading the diary repeatedly just to prolong their time together. 

She knew Waylen was enduring tremendous pain. 

He often suffered from headaches. 

Sometimes, she wondered if he would be better off if he forgot her entirely. 

Leaving quietly, Rena asked the driver to prepare the car. 

The servant asked cautiously, “Do I need to bring Mr. Fowler some food?” 

Rena was about to get in the car. When she heard this, she lowered her head and said, “There’s 

food in there. Leave him alone. Don’t disturb him.” 

She knew that Waylen was a proud man. 

He wouldn’t want anyone to see him like that. 

Then, Rena got into the car. The driver asked gently, “Mrs. Fowler, where are we going?” 

“The South Mountain Hospital,” she replied softly. 

The driver didn’t say anything more and drove silently. They were all senior staff of the Fowler 

family, and they understood the importance of privacy and discretion. None of them would 

discuss Waylen and Rena’s personal matters with outsiders. They all felt a deep sense of 

sadness for the couple, witnessing their struggles firsthand. 

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the sanatorium. Rena met with the top-tier doctor, hoping for 

any solution that could bring back Waylen’s memories and end their ordeal. 

As she got back into the car, tears streamed down her cheeks, reflecting the deep pain and 

sorrow in her heart. 

The doctor’s words echoed in her mind, each syllable haunting her.

memory, he can live and work normally. If you forcefully awaken his memory, it will not only have. no effect, but also cause great pain to him. In fact, he has already tried. Well, he was in so much pain at that time. 

Mrs. Fowler, please think it over.” 

Rena felt a mix of desperation and helplessness. She knew Waylen had tried to regain his memories and had suffered tremendously in the process. The thought of him in pain was 

unbearable for her. 

She closed her eyes gently, trying to hold back her tears. 

However, the sadness overwhelmed her. 

In the car, the driver didn’t say anything, just offering tissues to comfort Rena. 

Rena decided not to return home and instead went to the Exceed Group. 

She entered Waylen’s former office, touching everything with care. 

The second secretary suddenly came in with a cup of warm tea in her hands: 

Rena turned sideways and ordered in a soft voice, “Please ask Jazlyn to come over.” 

The second secretary nodded and smiled. “Yes, Mrs. Fowler.” 

Once the woman left, the door opened again not long after and revealed Jazlyn who took a step 

inside the office. 

Waylen’s absence had left her a ton of work to do. She hurriedly approached where Rena sat and said, “Mrs. Fowler, these documents need your signature.” 

Rena merely waved her hand, signaling the secretary to put the papers down. 

This left Jazlyn confused. She tilted her head slightly and silently waited for further instructions. 

Rena motioned for her to sit down and asked softly, “What kind of person was Waylen before?” 

Though Rena already knew Waylen well, she wanted to hear more about him from a different 

angle. 

After all, Jazlyn had worked for him for many years. 

Jazlyn was surprised by the question but smiled warmly, reminiscing about the past. 

She spoke about how Waylen founded Sterling Law Firm, won his first lawsuit, and was generally aloof and unapproachable. 

As Jazlyn finished, she smiled sheepishly, feeling touched by Rena’s interest. “Sorry, I’m talking 

too much.” 

But Rena replied in a soft voice, “I don’t mind. I actually enjoyed it.” 

Jazlyn was deeply moved. 

Having worked in the legal field for many years, she had seen countless broken relationships and bitter property disputes. 

However, as she observed Rena and Waylen’s love for each other, she sensed something truly

heir bond was genuine and profound. 

Despite Jazlyn’s internal conflict on what to say, Rena already had her mind made up. She stood up and calmly instructed, “Prepare the press conference for me. I have something to announce.” Jazlyn realized Rena’s decision, and though she was surprised, she respected her choice. Rena’s demeanor exuded a quiet strength, revealing her determination after careful consideration. After a moment of being taken aback, Jazlyn nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll do it right away.” With the office door closed, Rena moved into the lounge, her thoughts filled with Waylen. She gently opened the wardrobe, which held a collection of Waylen’s suits and shirts. Among them was also a white woman’s suit, belonging to Rena herself. 

With a sense of resolution, Rena changed into the suit and put on a pair of high heels. 

She tied up her long brown hair into a bun and applied light makeup in front of the mirror. 

Her movements were deliberate and slow, as if each action carried profound meaning. As she prepared herself, she recalled Mindy’s words about rebirth. 

Rena whispered to herself, “Waylen, if I can’t keep you…. 

If you are destined to go to a wider place, then I will set you free. 

I will be patient. I will wait for you all the time until you come back…” 

An hour later, Rena faced the media as the new president of the Exceed Group. 

Despite her position in a wealthy family, she wore a simple business suit with only a pair of tiny pearl earrings on her ears. 

It was a gift from Waylen, symbolizing their love and commitment. 

With determination in her voice, Rena “faced the microphone and numerous cameras and announced, “My husband will devote himself in a new field. For this, I will take over the position of president of the Exceed Group. From now on, I will work hard with all the 4500 employees in the Exceed Group.” 

The media erupted in a whirlwind of questions and discussions. 

Rena’s announcement surprised many, especially amidst the rumors of Waylen’s health and the plummeting stock of the Exceed Group. 

However, her words set everyone’s mind at rest. 

The Exceed Group was still under the Fowler family’s control. 

On that day, the stock price of the Exceed Group started to stabilize and bounce back, as Rena’s unwavering commitment reassured investors and employees alike.
