Waylen kissed her and replied, “Let me talk to her. Rena, you need to play the role of a good mother.”

His teasing made Rena blush.

No man could be as flirtatious as him, but she appreciated this aspect of his character.

Rena didn’t know how Waylen had convinced Alexis, but she knew Leonel had to spend two hours working with him in the study every day, which she found a pity for the young boy.

In the evening, Rena was teaching Alexis to play the piano.

Coincidentally, Mark returned from Czanch and dropped by Rena’s house.

Rena was surprised by her uncle’s unexpected visit.

Alexis, who was in front of the piano, greeted Mark with excitement.

She came running into his embrace and planted a big kiss on his cheek.

“Mark!”

Mark returned the affection, planting a kiss on her face.

He then complimented Rena, “You’ve taken great care of her.”

Rena prepared a cup of tea for Mark and asked, “Why did you come to Duefron so suddenly?”

Mark, wearing a gentle smile on his face, responded, “I’m here to pick up Cecilia and Edwin so we can celebrate the festival together in Czanch.”

Rena had originally planned to send Cecilia and Edwin to Czanch on the Fowler family’s private plane, so she was surprised by Mark’s arrangement.

Thinking of the hardships Cecilia had endured and the challenges Mark had faced, Rena couldn’t help but be moved to tears.

“That’s wonderful. You can gather together. By the way, where is Cecilia Mark just smiled warmly.

“I stopped by to see you first. I’ll pick them up later.”

He loved Cecilia and Edwin and also held a special affection for Rena and her children.

Mark had specifically come here to present them with some gifts.

Each child had received a special gift, and Rena’s was the most extravagant.

“Thank you.” Rena flashed a smile at Mark.

Mark patted her on the head affectionately, and at that moment,

Waylen came downstairs and noticed Mark’s presence.

He asked, “So, are you leaving tonight?”

Mark lifted his eyes and replied with a faint smile, “I have a meeting tomorrow morning.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t willingly part with Cecilia and Edwin.

Waylen nodded, understanding Mark’s situation as a man.

Seeing Rena’s reluctance to let Mark leave, Waylen comforted her gently, “Go upstairs and change into warmer clothes. Let’s see him off.”

Tears glistened in Rena’s eyes.

She loved Waylen deeply, with all his strengths and weaknesses.

She had never expected him to be so considerate one day.

She nodded and went upstairs.

Waylen patted Alexis’ butt and said, “Go upstairs and stay by your mom’s side. Don’t let her cry.”

Hearing this, Alexis gave a nod and hurriedly caught up with Rena.

Alexis’ curly hair shimmered under the crystal chandelier.

Mark adored Alexis very much and couldn’t help but envy Waylen.

He envied Waylen had four children in his prime, and could bring so much joy to Rena.

On the contrary, he had been busy all his life and had only fallen in love with a woman late in life, with limited time he could spend with her.

Waylen glanced at Mark’s lonely expression and smiled, saying, “I never view you as a sentimental soul.”

Mark somehow found solace in his words.

Rena, now wearing a thick coat, descended the stairs.

As she reached the bottom, Waylen approached and helped her put on her scarf.

He had bought her a new LV scarf the previous week, a soft and delicately colored piece that he thought suited Rena perfectly.

Rena gently touched his hand and said, “That’s enough, or it’ll be too tight.”

Waylen playfully complained to Mark, “She’s quite picky.”

Alexis, the most cherished kid in the family, joined their way to see Cecilia and Edwin off.

As they drove late into the night in the luxurious limousines, Waylen asked Rena to lean on his shoulder to avoid fatigue.

Sitting next to them, Alexis gazed at her mother with anticipation.

With Rena around, Alexis wasn’t the family’s center of attention.

Rena whispered as she leaned on Waylen’s shoulder, “Waylen, Cecilia is one year older than me. How can I be in the mood to marry off a daughter?”

Waylen gently touched her face and responded, “Oh, honey. Look at you.”

Rena suddenly blushed.

Sometimes, during their intimate moments when Waylen was in a good mood, he would lean in and call her “baby,” which made Rena feel shy.

Waylen seemed to have thought of this and pursed his lips, not doing anything in the presence of Alexis.

Half an hour later, the car stopped.

Despite the late hour, the Fowler family mansion was brightly lit.

Cecilia and Edwin stood at the door, bathed in the warm, gentle glow of yellow light.

Mark hesitated as he got out of the car, staring at his beloved Cecilia.

Cecilia fixed her eyes on Mark.

At this moment, she almost forgot her previous discomfiture, focusing only on her anticipation of their shared future.

With others present and considering his status, Mark had to restrain himself.

Sensing the atmosphere, Peter promptly presented Edwin with a Christmas gift, which was quite expensive.
