Rena’s heart sank with sorrow.

She embraced Eloise tightly, tears streaming down her face. “Why must you leave? I want you to stay.”

Eloise contemplated her response but chose to remain silent.

Earlier at the cemetery, Eloise had surmised that Lyndon might be Rena’s biological father,

If Rena went to Lyndon, perhaps her life would be much easier in the future,

Rena shook her head resolutely. “I won’t go anywhere. Eloise, I will stay by your side,”

A soft sigh escaped Eloise’s lips.

She was ata loss as to how to handle Rena’’s situation. She loved Rena dearly, yet Rena was not her biological daughter. Now that Darren was gone and Rena had found her real father, Eloise could no longer be selfish and cling to her…

Enfolding Eloise in her embrace, Rena whispered, her voice filled with vulnerability, “If I were to call you ‘Mom,’ would you stay?”

Eloise’s body stiffened, her emotions in tumult.

Rena clung to Eloise even tighter, refusing to let go.

Speaking in hushed tones, Rena timidly addressed Eloise, resembling the very child Eloise first laid eyes upon.

“Mom… Please don’t go.”

Eloise wept, the facade of strength she had been upholding since Darren’s passing crumbling away, revealing the depths of her sorrow and fear hidden within her heart.

Having lost her husband and never having children of her own, Rena now referred to Eloise as her mother.

Eloise held Rena in a tight embrace, her tears flowing freely. “I won’t leave… I will stay. Rena, I will be your mother, and I will forever be here by your side.”

Rena nestled against Eloise’s chest, finding solace in the warmth of her presence.

In the afternoon, Eloise insisted that Rena take a nap.

Upon awakening, Rena heard voices emanating from the living room.

Leaning against the wall for support, she made her way towards the source. Her eyes narrowed upon catching sight of the man seated there.

Lyndon caeuried the living room, surrounded by a multitude of precious tonics and gifts at his feet. Upon spotting Rena, his lips quivered for a prolonged moment. Eventually, he softly called out to her, “Rena!”

Rena understood the purpose behind his visit.

In a polite tone, she responded, “Thank you so much, Mr. Coleman.

However…”

Rena’s gaze shifted towards the gifts as she continued, “I truly cannot accept these.”

Lyndon locked his gaze on Rena.

The more he looked at her, the more he noticed her striking resemblance to Reina.

The more he looked at her, the more she felt like kin to him…

Reina had been married and had passed away and there was nothing Lyndon could do about it. However, Rena remained his daughter. How could he not take her back?

He longed to provide Rena with the best.

Lyndon paused momentarily before speaking up tenderly. “I have heard of your piano skills. Korbyn mentioned his desire to send you to Flirean for further study. I know of a tutor there… or I can teach you myself.”

He yearned to make amends, to shape Rena into a renowned musician.

His intentions were driven by a desire to bring solace to Reina’s spirit.

Lyndon continued to express his intentions but Rena responded with a disdainful smile.

Her gaze drifted downwards, fixating on her own feet.

The nerve injury afflicted her foot, rendering her unable to drive, let alone pursue her dreams of becoming a renowned pianist.

Flirean, the place of her aspirations, seemed out of reach.

She chose not to disclose these details to Lyndon, simply mustering a faint smile as she replied, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Coleman. I believe I can manage without it. Furthermore… If there is nothing else, please excuse me. I won’t accompany you to the door.”

Rena nodded at Eloise, Signaling her to see their guest off.

Respecting Rena’s decision, Eloise collected the gifts and politely escorted Lyndon outside.

Standing before the door, Lyndon refused to relinquish his efforts. “Mrs. Gordon, you…”

Eloise’s smile was tinged with a hint of melancholy.

She uttered, “I understand your intentions but considering all that has transpired… Ultimately, the decision lies with Rena, doesn’t it? You loved your daughter dearly and I can’t blame you for that. But Rena…

She is also cherished by me and Darren.”

Upon hearing these words, Lyndon’s heart constricted with anguish.

As twilight descended and bedtime approached, Eloise tenderly applied a soothing, warm compress to Rena’s weary feet.

Gently clasping Rena’s foot, Eloise offered words of care, saying, “Ensure proper healing, dear. Let there be no lingering repercussions.”

In an attempt to conceal her true emotions, Rena feigned composure and replied, “It’s just a minor wound; it’s not a big deal.”

Observing Rena’s gradual ability to move with measured steps, Eloise refrained from dwelling too deeply on the matter.

Continuing to administer the comforting warmth to Rena’s foot, Eloise approached the conclusion of the procedure and hesitated before saying,

“Waylen has been waiting downstairs for quite some time. Would you like to see him?”

Rena was taken aback, momentarily stunned by the suggestion.

After a brief pause, she gently shook her head and responded, “I’ll speak with him in a few days. I’m not emotionally ready at the moment.”

Respecting Rena’s decision, Eloise refrained from pressing further.

Tenderly touching Rena’s head, Eloise spoke words of comfort, saying, “I may not know the intricacies of your situation but I wholeheartedly support any choices you make… Seek a deserving partner. If this man falls short, seek another. Your Mr. Right will surely come your way.” ,

Rena’s smile in response to Eloise’s words brought a sense of relief to Eloise’s heart.

Time swiftly passed and soon a week had gone since Darren’s passing, with Rena’s feet nearly restored to full health.

Accompanied by Eloise, Rena made her way to pay respects at Darren’s final resting place.

The sun beamed brightly, illuminating the vibrant flowers strewn around.

Resting before Darren’s and Reina’s tombstone was a bouquet of freshly picked lilies.

Eloise surmised that Lyndon had left them there. Casting a glance at Rena, who discarded the bouquet nonchalantly and instead placed a handful of daisies, she couldn’t help but emit a soft sigh,
