Once the chauffeur dropped off Rena, Mark left on his own.

The villa was enveloped in an oppressive silence, with only a few dim lights illuminating the surroundings,

Following Waylen’s command, the __ servant respectfully addressed Rena as “Mrs. Fowler” when she arrived. In the midst of mixed emotions, Rena didn’t bother to correct her. She ascended the stairs, but the closer she got to the little girl’s bedroom, the stronger the wave of nostalgia she experienced.

Waylen stood on the staircase.

He still wore a white shirt and black suit pants, but his hair was slightly disheveled.

Rena walked right past him.

He reached out and caught her, whispering, “She had a tantrum and now she’s asleep. Let’s not disturb her and talk first…”

Rena had no inclination to engage in conversation with Waylen whatsoever.

And she possessed a clear understanding of the topic he wished to discuss. She was fully aware that he simply desired to reconcile with her.

She had endured all of that and now they had been legally separated for a duration of three years.

Rena had already moved on and her animosity towards him had diminished. However, her affection for him had also dissipated.

Yet, due to Alexis, she yearned for tranquility in their relationship.

In a hushed tone, she murmured, “I wish to see her first.”

In the soft glow of yellow light, he relaxed his hold on her and uttered in a subdued voice, “Go ahead. Be cautious not to disturb her slumber.”

Rena acknowledged with a nod and proceeded past him, ascending the staircase.

As she distanced herself, Waylen gazed at his open palm, The warmth of Rena’s touch lingered and he found solace in it.

Upon reaching the second floor, Rena found herself outside Alexis’ bedroom.

Rena’s fingertips landed on the doorknob. she hesitated momentarily before gently pushing it open.

Alexis was indeed fast asleep.

Within the light pink bedroom, a bedside lamp emitted a ge

Rena couldn’t evade his advances. Anxious, she bit him in her distress.

Waylen ceased his kissing

In the darkness, he gazed at her and whispered in a raspy voice, “Rena, you kissed me back earlier. You still harbor desire for my touch.”

Rena’s breath was erratic.

In their disheveled state, their bodies were entwined with each breath she took. She felt a mix of shyness and anger. “Waylen, didn’t you mention wanting to talk in the study? What are you doing now?”

He exerted pressure.

He leaned his face against her neck and remained silent for an extended moment,

After a while, he finally uttered, “Rena, I miss you so much, I admit that I desire you and want to be intimate with you. After being apart for years, what man wouldn’t want to make love to the woman he cares for?”

Rena regained some clarity.

She kicked him and exclaimed, “Get out of bed. We’re divorced.”

She anticipated he wouldn’t budge but he shifted his body gently and refrained from forcing her.

After all, they had come dangerously close to intimacy.

Rena proceeded to the bathroom to freshen up before heading to the study to speak with him.

They had an abundance of topics to address.

The past, the present and Alexis! future.

As parents, even in their divorced state, they needed to consider these matters.

Evidently, Waylen was prepared for an extensive conversation with her.

Rena pushed open the door and entered the study. He was brewing coffee. Upon hearing her footsteps, he casually remarked, “You prefer Mandheling, right?”

Rena nodded and took a seat on the sofa.

She fixed her gaze upon his figure.

This was the first time she had taken a good look at Waylen from head to toe since they reunited. He remained as handsome as ever, but there was a greater sense of restraint in his demeanor. Of course, except for when he shamelessly pursued his desires, he remained unchanged.

Waylen placed the cup of coffee in front of her.

He retrieved a thick document from the bookshelf and handed it to her. Her hand trembled uncontrollably as she accepted the document.

The hour was late

Rena skimmed through the pages and he sat by her side.

As the sun rose, Rena wearily closed the document.

Waylen found himself immersed in memories. He whispered, “You were unwell during that time. I was afraid you couldn’t endure it. Later, Alexis’ condition improved, but in the first two years, it was still quite challenging. However, this year, her physical health has stabilized a lot. Though she faces minor ailments, she will grow up just fine.”

Rena delicately set the document aside.

She gazed at him and murmured, “What do you mean by ‘minor ailments’?”

With difficulty, Waylen replied, “Autism and a blood clotting disorder. Oh, and she has Rh-negative blood.”

As he uttered these words, he seemed lost in a trance.

Rena found herself in a daze as well.
