Chapter 2551 “No! Leonel is my son.

“No! Leonel is my son.

I raised him. If he’s not my son, whose could he be?” Waylen countered.

Kenneth's face contorted with emotion.

Despite his malevolence, he shared a common trait with many men.

He was foolishly arrogant, despite having nothing much to offer.

Even though he had left his son and wife behind, he still wanted his son to take care of him when he was old.

He hesitated to sign the document.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Waylen extinguished his cigarette and smiled. “It’s okay if you don't sign it! But consider whether you'll even live to see your trial.” Kenneth stared at Waylen. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

Waylen looked cold and honorable, with a tiny smirk at the corner of his mouth.

As he leaned in, Waylen's voice dropped to a whisper. “Leonel is my son. I won't tolerate any stains on his reputation, especially from someone like you. The world would be better off without a lowlife like you, don't you think?” Kenneth's eyes widened in realization. Slowly, it dawned on him that Waylen was dead serious.

Eventually, Kenneth signed his name with a trembling hand.

With that signature, Leonel ceased to be Kenneth's son.

Waylen collected the document and scrutinized it. After a moment, he looked down and sneered. He believed Kenneth to be a genuine jerk who was terrified of dying. He was unable to hide his terror.

Waylen stood up and made his way out.

Kenneth’s voice quivered as he asked, “Do you truly take him as your son?” Waylen stopped and turned back. “You should ask Leonel who he truly considers his father in his heart.” Waylen believed he had the charm.

Waylen arrived back at home around 8 PM.

The aroma of dinner filled the air. His wife, Rena, was in the kitchen, orchestrating the meal’s preparation with the servants. The light in the corridor softly illuminated her features, highlighting her soft and gentle Look.

When she saw Waylen, Rena asked in a soft tone, “Where have you been? Everyone's been waiting for you for quite a while!” Without waiting for his reply, she added, “You're always the one who wants everyone home, and now when they're all here, you're the one who's missing!”

Chapter 2552 Waylen offered a faint smile and put his arm around his wife. “I was tied up with some work, not out being with another woman,” he joked.

Waylen offered a faint smile and put his arm around his wife. “I was tied up with some work, not out being with another woman,” he joked.

Rena blushed at his words.

With no one else around, Waylen took the chance to reassure her, “You know how much you mean to me. No other woman, no matter how young or beautiful, could ever compare to you.” Rena, focusing on a different aspect of his comment, playfully asked, “Are you saying I'm old?” Waylen laughed and said, “Of course not!” He looked at her tenderly under the corridor Light.

His admiration was sincere. Rena had managed to maintain her youthful appearance over the years. The children were a big help, the older ones taking care of the younger, and with his support, Rena had fewer worries.

She still looked as delicate as she did in earlier years.

Waylen, as her husband, felt extremely content.

Upon entering the living room with his wife, Waylen's eyes immediately fell on Alexis and Leonel.

Leonel, who he had drove away before, was now lounging on the sofa, flipping through a magazine as if he had always belonged there.

Waylen felt a surge of mixed emotions but kept his face expressionless.

“You're back, huh?” he said, addressing them.

Leonel quickly set aside his magazine and stood up. “Yes!” Waylen removed his coat, which Leonel smoothly took to place on the sofa. Waylen, with an easy smile, teased, “Hey, when did you become so thoughtful?” Rena cast a glance his way, chiding, “Leonels just returned. Let's not dredge up past mistakes.” Although Waylen kept smiling, a hint of his fury from meeting Kenneth lingered in his expression, a detail only Rena, being so close to him, could pick up on.

Rena's eyes flickered with realization about where he might have been, but she chose to remain silent.

Waylen settled down, sipped some tea, and then declared, “Time to eat!” Elva, their little daughter, clung to his arm. “Dad, I'm so hungry! You were gone all day, and Mom thought you might've found yourself another woman!” Gently patting her head, Waylen seated her beside him for dinner, with Leonel on his other side.

Leonel seemed a bit uneasy.

Uncorking a prized bottle of liquor, Waylen encouraged, “Let's have a drink.”

Chapter 2553 Rena, noticing the generous pours, cautioned, “It’s just an ordinary day. Go easy on the drink” Rena, noticing the generous pours, cautioned, “It’s just an ordinary day. Go easy on the drink” As Waylen filled a glass for Leonel too, he playfully retorted to his wife, “Who says it’s not special? Maybe I did find myself another woman.” Rena filled Waylen's cup herself.

“Then you really should drink up,” she retorted.

Angela's Library Waylen, his face flushing, turned to his children. “See how your mother fusses over me? She's always keeping an eye on me. That's what it’s like being married to a successful man,” he joked.

As Rena served him food, she playfully shushed him.

Waylen was eager to share a drink with Leonel. “You've been abroad for so long, probably used to beers or something. I wonder how you'll handle this Liquor,” he challenged.

Leonel responded by taking a small sip.

“Impressive. You can really handle your drink,” Waylen remarked, finishing his own in a single gulp. The fiery drink warmed him from the inside.
