Downstairs, the servant handed the document to Jazlyn.

Jazlyn swiftly departed in a waiting car.

Returning to the CEO office of the Exceed Group, she handed the document to Waylen.

However, she couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled. Waylen didn’t appear in any hurry to get the document, so why did he specifically ask for it today?

Clad in a classic black and white suit, Waylen sat at his desk, holding the document in hand, and inquired casually, “Did Rena mention anything?” ©

Jazlyn observed her boss, noting two prominent scratches on his neck. She surmised that her boss must have had a very eventful night.

Coughing softly to compose herself, she responded, “She didn’t come downstairs.”

Waylen also came to the same realization and gestured gently for Jazlyn to leave.

Once the door was shut, he leaned back in his leather chair, contemplating the fact that

Rena must have seen the document.

How would she react when he returned home in the evening?

As the night thickened, Waylen returned home around nine o’clock.

Rena was in the middle of playing the piano with Alexis, who sat elegantly in a delicate dress, displaying remarkable skill.

Waylen took off his coat and tossed it on the sofa, leaning against Rena with a soft inquiry,

“She has just been discharged from the hospital. Why don’t you let her rest for a few more days?”

Waylen loved his daughter, and he couldn’t bear the thought of blaming Rena.

With a faint smile, Rena murmured, “She wants to play by herself.”

Detecting the faint smell of alcohol on him, she whispered, “Did you attend a social gathering?”

Waylen smiled gently, caressing her back, and said in a hoarse voice, “Cook a bowl of noodles for me, please? I haven’t had anything tonight, except for wine.” ©

Rena looked worried, rendered speechless by the revelation.

She quickly went to the kitchen to prepare noodles with soup for him, but as she took a couple of steps, he pulled her close, pressing his nose against hers.

“Yes, there were young girls, but I turned them all down. Rena… I won’t do anything to upset you!”

Blushing, Rena shyly bit her red lips.

“I never asked you to report anything!”

“But I want to report it to you,” Waylen said affectionately.

Feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of his gaze, Rena signaled with her eyes for him to restrain himself since Alexis was present.

Waylen finally let her go and moved to sit next to Alexis, affectionately stroking her curly hair.

“Why has our Lexi suddenly become so hardworking?”

Alexis paused her piano playing and climbed onto Waylen’s lap, kissing his cheek before speaking up.

“Today at kindergarten, Maura played the piano, and Leonel was watching her!”

Waylen couldn’t help but laugh. His little daughter was already experiencing jealousy.

Her classmate Maura Lewis had been playing the piano for a year and was better than Alexis.

Holding Alexis on his lap, Waylen said, “So we need to practice even harder than usual, and then you will play even better than.

Blushing, Alexis’ chubby fingers slipped on the keys.

After a moment’s thought, she emphasized in a childish voice, “But I want to be a lawyer when I grow up!”

Waylen kissed her cheek and said, “That’s okay! Being a lawyer is your career when you grow up. For now, you can just practice the piano well!”

His encouraging words offered Alexis a glimmer of hope.

She clenched her small fists, determined to practice the piano not just for Leonel.

While they were conversing, Rena placed the bow! of noodles on the table.

Waylen once again touched Alexis’ head and asked her to continue playing the piano. Rena finally had a chance to talk to him after Alexis went to take a shower in the evening.

The sound of running water and Alexis singing came from the bathroom while Rena tidied up the bedroom.

Waylen sat on the sofa, watching her back, his heart racing.

Rena was truly back, taking care of the family like a mother and wife. He enjoyed having her stay with him like this.

He asked in a low voice, “Don’t you have anything to say tome?”

Holding Alexis’ pajamas, Rena turned around and lowered her voice. “I saw it. Waylen…

Alexis is still a child. You really don’t have to decide her future so early.”

Waylen took out a cigarette from his pocket and toyed with it between his fingers without lighting it.

He reached out his hand to her, and after some hesitation, Rena took it and sat down beside him, chastising him, “Waylen!”

Waylen caressed her face and explained softly, “Today I arranged an appointment to play golf with Leonel’s father and discuss a project. I’m going to invest 200 million in his company.”

Rena disagreed with his decision and shook her head. “Money can’t buy love.”

He smiled at her and said, “But money can buy Alexis’ safety.”

Alexis’ unique condition required a human blood bank like Leonel. It didn’t matter if their family backgrounds matched or not; what mattered was that he had what she needed.

Moreover, that child was excellent and ambitious.

His intuition told him to make this decision.

Although Rena understood the considerable thought he put into Alexis’ well-being, she was still unsatisfied with his decision. However, she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was bothering her.

Waylen wrapped his arm around her waist and said gently, “Rena, I know you’re unhappy, so… Aren’t we discussing it?”
