A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Waylen’s gaze tumed somewhat profound as he stopped her.

“Can you sit in the front? It’s more convenient for us to talk.” He opened the passenger seat door as he spoke.

Not wanting to argue over such trivial matters, Rena got into the car and sat down.

Before long, Waylen climbed into the driver’s seat next to her.

Waylen turned slightly, casting a glance at Rena’s slender and supple legs, and asked in a hoarse voice, “Where are you going?”

Rena softly replied, “To the First Hospital.”

Waylen stepped on the gas and continued in a gentle tone, “Shall I accompany you to visit Mom?”

Waylen’s cheekiness was nothing new to Rena, who had grown accustomed to his ways.

She coughed lightly and clarified, “It’s my mom, not yours.”

Waylen maintained his good temper and smiled.

“Then should I call her Mrs. Gordon? But Rena… I’ve been calling her Mom all these years, and she never objected.”

“I object,” Rena asserted, feeling annoyed,

Waylen, undeterred, focused on driving.

After a while, Rena said softly, “Waylen, I believe we should establish a new relationship.”

He understood her intentions all too well.

Waylen remained silent.

When the traffic light tumed red, he retrieved a cigarette from the storage compartment, lit it, took a drag, and exhaled a slow stream of smoke. He then tumed to look at Rena. “What kind of new relationship do you suggest? Tell me.”

Rena met his gaze and replied, “Let’s raise Alexis together, but without intruding on each other’s personal lives.”

Waylen reached out and flicked the ash of his cigarette out the window.

He smiled and asked, “So, you’re interested in that man with the surname Vaughn? His name is Bruce, right? He’s not bad looking”

“Waylen, that’s not what I meant,” Rena responded, annoyed.

“Then what do you mean?”

“Are you suggesting that we’re both free to date and sleep with others?”

Rena didn’t want to continue the conversation.

She turned her face away, choosing to remain silent.

Over the past three years, Waylen had grown more temperate. If she had gone on a blind date before, he would have been consumed by jealousy and acted impulsively.

But things had changed now; they were divorced.

In reality, Rena was correct, They shouldn’t pry into each other’s personal lives.

However, despite everything, he still loved her.

Waylen softened his tone, saying, “Alright, I agree.”

Rena was quite surprised.

She had told her uncle that being with Bruce was impossible, but Waylen’s response earlier seemed rather unreasonable. Was their personal life merely about blind dates, dating, and sex?

Nonetheless, he had compromised first. Rena didn’t want their relationship to become too rigid, especially considering they had to raise their child together.

Speaking softly, Rena proposed, “T’d like to take Alexis to stay at my place for a while.”

Waylen extinguished his cigarette and smiled. “Of course. You’re her mother, and you can take her to stay with you for as long as you want. However, due to her special condition, it’s better not to take her away from Duefron under normal circumstances.”

Rena agreed.

Waylen drove them to the hospital, parking the car in the lot. Before Rena could get out, Waylen stopped her, “Give me your phone.”

Confused, Rena handed him her phone. Waylen lit another cigarette, placing it between his lips as he entered a series of phone numbers into her contacts.

‘These numbers included those of the lab doctor, the emergency department doctor, the psychologist, the blood bank administrator, Alexis’ kindergarten teacher, and even the principal’s number.

Once he finished inputting the numbers, Waylen returned Rena’s phone. She looked at him, lost in thought.

He whispered gently, “Rena, I haven’t been with any woman in the last three years, not even when I yearned for you at night. My personal life during these past three years was all about our daughter. I would have to put on my clothes and rush to the lab whenever I received a phone call, even in the middle of the night while I was sleeping, because Alexis was there…”

Rena found herself stunned by Waylen’s words

He continued in a hoarse voice, “I’m not saying this to gain your sympathy. I just want to tell you that if you decide to get involved and be Alexis’ mother, you might have no personal life like me. Do you still want to be her mother?”

His words struck a chord within Rena.

How could she ever abandon her daughter?

She looked at Waylen, her heart racing, uncertain of what to say.

Waylen reached out and gently caressed her face.

He knew that she was going through a difficult time, but he needed to be honest with her. He feared that she would blame him for Alexis’ current conditions.

If only he hadn’t gone to Braseovell that fateful day, Rena probably wouldn’t have been affected so badly by the explosion, and Alexis wouldn’t have been so weak after her premature birth.

Rena remained silent, neither pushing him away nor uttering a word. As parents of such a special child, they needed to support each other through this journey.

After a long pause, Waylen withdrew his hand and said gently, “Go upstairs. I have a meeting later. You can pick up Alexis this aftemoon, and I’ll pick her up in the evenin;

Rena nodded, her mind overwhelmed,

She almost ran away, not knowing what she was trying to escape from.

Was she avoiding Waylen’s tenderness or the painful memories of the past?

Rena’s mind wandered as she absentmindedly cut the fruit.

She nearly nicked her finger, making her involuntarily flinch.

Leaning against the sickbed, Eloise smiled softly and muttered, “Put it down. You might end up cutting yourself.”

Rena lowered her hand and called out softly, “Mom.”

Eloise beckoned her closer, taking her hand gently.

She then said in a tender voice, “I didn’t know about Alexis’ existence until this year. Waylen took her to Czanch, and it shocked everyone. Your grandmother cried for a long time, and Waylen knelt before all night.”

Hearing this, Rena leaned closer to Eloise in attempt to seek some comfort.
