Waylen was taken aback.

Rena took his hand and placed it gently on her belly. “Are you too overwhelmed with joy to speak?”

They had been intimate so often; having a child was only natural.

After a while, Waylen finally found his voice. He delicately touched her flat belly, knowing that it was too early to feel anything since Rena had just become pregnant but he wanted to connect with the existence of their baby.

Slowly, he half-knelt closer to her.

Rena’s heart warmed; no woman could resist the closeness of her man. Though he didn’t say a word, she could sense his immense happiness.

“Now put the noodles into bowls before they get soggy.”

Waylen didn’t want to move.

With slender fingers, Rena tenderly brushed against his handsome face, reminding him, “If we do have another child, don’t neglect Alexis.”

Waylen chuckled.

“Impossible! I’ll take great care of all three of you.”

Then, he scooped Rena up and placed her gently on the hall sofa.

After settling her down, he eagerly gazed at her belly.

Rena patted his hand and said, “Go put the noodles in bowls and warm up Alexis’ milk.”

Waylen leaned in and kissed her softly. “Thank you, Rena.”

He proceeded to the kitchen and finished his tasks just in time for Cecilia’s arrival.

Cecilia entered the villa, tears streaming down her face…

Shaking the baby bottle, Waylen asked, “Has that old man been bothering you again?” ©

Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Rena suggested, “I think Alexis is about to fall asleep.

Why don’t you give her the milk?”

Waylen’s eyes held a deep and meaningful gaze.

He remained silent, strolling slowly to the second floor to take care of Alexis

Cecilia grumbled for a while, but eventually, she settled at the table to eat the noodles, sniffling softly.

Under the gentle glow of the dim light, her cheeks turned slightly rosy and the tip of her nose glistened with sweat.

Rena understood why her uncle couldn’t get over Cecilia.

Immersed in his high-ranking role, day in and day out, he was just devising intricate plans.

With someone as simple and innocent as Cecilia at his side, he could finally unwind and relax.

“Please, take your time with your meal,” Rena advised.

Though Cecilia was actually two years older than her, Rena regarded her with a gaze akin to that of an older sister looking at a younger sibling. ©

Cecilia polished off the noodles swiftly.

Her reliance on Rena was evident. Despite Rena and Mark being family, Cecilia couldn’t help but lean on Rena for support.

Once Alexis had finised her milk and dozed off, Waylen descended the stairs to find his sister resting her head on Rena’s lap. Playfully, he rapped Cecilia’s head and quipped, “Don’t use your sister-in-law’s lap as a pillow.”

Rena interjected, “It’s fine, really.”

Waylen’s eyes held a depth that discouraged further objections.

Scooping up his sister, Waylen sat opposite Rena, still holding the baby bottle. He said to his sister earnestly, “If you can’t get over him completely, try to manage. But if you’re not willing to, take our parents’ advice and find a good guy to be with.”

Cecilia lowered her gaze, remaining silent.

Waylen continued, “Having a relationship is not against the law. Or are you afraid that he’ll be upset and won’t marry you if you date someone else?”

“No,” Cecilia quickly denied.

“You better not be. Otherwise, you’d be selling yourself short.” Waylen scoffed.

He then headed to the kitchen to clean the baby bottle, carefully disinfecting it in the sterilization cabinet. ©

Cecilia’s eyes widened in surprise…

As night descended, Rena wrestled with restlessness.

Waylen turned to her and softly asked, “Can’t sleep?”

Rena admitted to her sleeplessness.

Recognizing her concern for Cecilia, he let out a sigh. “Rena, don’t coddle Cecilia too much.

She’s an adult and should handle her own affairs, not rely on her brother and sister-in-law to make decisions for her. If you always indulge her, when will she really grow up?”

Rena found his words reasonable.

Nestling into his embrace, she cherished the warmth of his body and whispered,

“Accompany me to the hospital tomorrow. I won’t feel at ease until seeing a doctor.”

Waylen leaned in and kissed her tenderly.

He had made sure Jazlyn kept his schedule open. He would be by Rena’s side throughout the entire day tomorrow.

The next morning, they dropped Alexis off at kindergarten.

Helping Rena into the car with thoughtfulness, Waylen ensured Alexis was comfortably seated in her child’s chair, her curious eyes wide open.
