Cecilia offered a bashful smile, a mixture of disbelief and flattery coloring her features.
Curious, she couldnât resist the urge to ask, âAm I better than Rena?â Waylenâs response was measured, his tone tender as he replied, âSuch a comparison isnât fair.
One is my future wife, and the other is my cherished sister.
â
Ceciliaâs heart swelled with affection for her brother.
Dependent on him since childhood, she couldnât help but seek his embrace, her arms reaching out in an unspoken plea for reassurance.
Her voice carried a soft plea.
âWaylen, as long as Rena makes you happy, I promise to treat her well.
â
Waylen affectionately tousled Ceciliaâs hair.
Their Lighthearted moment was interrupted as Jazlyn entered the room, her lips curving into a gentle smile.
âMr.
Fowler, Miss Gordon⦠She declined the invitation to your apartment.
â
Waylenâs calm demeanor remained unshaken.
He understood Renaâs character better than anyone.
Turning to his sister, he handed her his phone, a request embedded within his action.
âCecilia, could you help me contact her?â
Upon Waylenâs suggestion, Cecilia countered with a challenge, her tone defiant as she asked, âAlright, but whatâs in it for me?â
Waylenâs response was tender yet playful as he patted Ceciliaâs head.
The unspoken truth was that Cecilia could potentially court Renaâs uncle, get married, and ultimately give birth to Edwin.
Cecilia let out a soft, skeptical snort, her eyes dancing with mischief.
âWaylen, donât think you can outsmart me.
I know exactly what youâre scheming.
You plan to use my identity as a girl to set up a rendezvous with Rena, only to conveniently send me away, right?â
Right.
Waylen didnât shy away from the accusation, his demeanor composed.
Adjusting his tie with a graceful touch, he appeared regal.
Ceciliaâs lips curled into a mischievous smile as she dialed the number, muttering to herself, âIt seems even my brother has someone he canât quite handle.
â
She had heard whispers of her brotherâs pursuit of a girl named Rena Gordon.
A gifted student at the conservatory, Renaâs piano skills were widely acclaimed.

Peering at pictures of Rena, Cecilia concluded that Renaâs beauty fell in line with Waylenâs taste.
A perfect match, it seemed.
As the call connected, Rena directly declined the invitation.
âMr.
Fowler, Iâve already declined your offer.
â
Cecilia turned to her brother, Waylen, who offered her a reassuring touch.
Drawing on her charismatic charm, Cecilia transformed into a social butterfly, her tone sweet and enticing as she said, âHello, this is Cecilia Fowler⦠Yes, Waylenâs sister.
You can just call me Cecilia.
Actually, Iâm the one who extended the invitation.
I share your passion for playing the piano.
Please, come over.
If itâs inconvenient for you, I can drive and pick you up.
â
On the other end of the Line, Rena was taken aback by the sudden twist.
Cecilia Fowler?
