Rena held up her phone and explained, “That was Mavis. She has gone to Heron.”

Without saying anything, Waylen came over and kissed Rena on the tip of her nose.

“I just fed Marcus. The little guy can drink a whole bottle in under five minutes, I swear. Oh, and the doctor said we can start introducing some solids to him.”

Rena wrapped her arms around his neck and asked in a purr, “What about Alexis?”

“Downstairs, having breakfast,” Waylen answered briefly, bending over to give Rena a kiss.

After kissing her for a long time, he finally pulled away and gently asked, “What kind of wedding do you want?”

Rena giggled like a schoolgirl. “We’re an old married couple. There’s no need for a wedding.”

While Rena was in the bathroom freshening up, Waylen sat at the edge of the bed and lit a cigarette. He watched in pensive silence as the cigarette slowly burned out.

He could feel it.

Rena was somehow still distant from him.

Majority of the reason why she compromised and made up with him was for the sake of their children, which was understandable.

However, Waylen wasn’t satisfied with just that.

He wanted Rena to love and rely on him…

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Rena came out, only to find Waylen smoking inside their bedroom.

She was a little surprised, but she decided not to comment.

Waylen stared at her deeply. After a while, he reached out his hand and said softly, “Come here.”

Rena obediently walked over.

‘As soon as she got close, he pulled her to sit on his lap and said in a low voice, “Let’s go on a date tonight. I want you to know how good a man in his thirties can be.”

Rena gently traced his eyebrows with the tip of her finger.

It seemed that what had happened previously was a big blow to his ego.

“Okay, then. Let’s go on a date.”

Then Waylen got close and whispered in her ear, “I’ll do you until you beg me for mercy.”

With a face as red as a tomato, Rena shyly pulled away from him and escaped from the bedroom.

Downstairs, Alexis was happily eating breakfast when she saw her parents coming downstairs.

Even though she was young, Alexis perceived that something was different.

She jumped off her chair, wrapped her arms around Waylen’s leg and asked innocently, “Are you going to live here from now on, Daddy?”

Waylen scooped Alexis up, kissed the tip of her nose, and said, “Yes! You’re going to see lot more of Daddy now!”

Alexis wrapped her arms around Waylen’s neck and giggled happily.

Seeing the bright smile on her daughter’s face, Rena couldn’t help but smile, too. She carried Marcus and approached the father-daughter duo, wondering if this was what it meant tobe a family. ©

Waylen treated her very well, and he was a natural family man.

He seldom committed to social engagements and even reduced his stake in the law firm to spend more time at home with his family. He often took them out on trips, too. Both Alexis and Marcus looked like wonderful children raised by wonderful parents.

In the eyes of outsiders, Waylen was the perfect husband and father.

Six months later, Rena gave him back the management rights to the Exceed Group.

Compared to her career, she leaned more towards a serene life, mainly because taking care of Alexis and Marcus was her top priority. No matter how many nannies Rena hired during their upbringing, none could ever replace a child’s own parents.

This decision surprised many.

After all, Rena had been managing the Exceed Group really well over the past two years.

Only Vera was able to figure out her reasons.

Vera arranged to meet Rena at their favorite cafe, just like they often did. As Rena arrived, Vera couldn’t help but acknowledge that Rena seemed to have it all together, living the best life among all the girls in their class.

Rena wasn’t only rich, but she also had a loving husband and beautiful children.

Even after giving some shares back to Waylen, Rena still held forty-five percent of the company, while Marcus was the successor of the Fowler Group.

No one was better off than Rena.

But only Vera dared to ask, “Rena, did you only make up with Waylen for the sake of your kids?”

Rena smiled at her knowingly. “Of course not. We’ve been so happy together.”

But even while saying that, Rena looked a little listless, stirring her coffee absentmindedly.

She wasn’t lying…

It was true that as time went by, she had gradually grown used to Waylen’s company.

In fact, she had almost forgotten that he had lost part of his memory.

Because whenever she dwelled on that subject for too long, she’d keenly feel that their relationship lacked something so important… But Rena always pushed it to the back of her mind, believing it didn’t affect their everyday lives.

One day, Waylen confessed to her that he wanted another child.

She refused immediately.

Even though she knew that he was very disappointed, she didn’t budge, and eventually, he gave up on the idea.

Though there wasn’t an obvious issue between them, Rena couldn’t help but notice that they had less time for each other than before. He was often swamped with work, while she devoted her time to taking care of their child. Sometimes, it all boiled down to her just resting with Alexis, leaving them with fewer moments together.

Rena stared into the distance, lost in thought…

Vera patted her hand and asked gently, “Rena, do you still love him?”
