Speechless, Rena found herself in a perplexing situation.
The four of them were fine together, but Waylen insisted on taking the two children away.
Waylen returned Renaâs gaze.
His stared intently at her.
Later, he turned to Rena and declared, âIâll take a week off.
I wonât go anywhere.
Iâll remain at home to assist you with childcare.
â
Rena turned her face slightly.
Waylenâs smile widened as he playfully pinched her cheek.
The car gradually pulled away from the hospital.
In the back seat, Edwinâs spirits were high.
He looked forward to visiting his uncleâs house.
Leonel, being quite knowledgeable, provided plenty of conversation material for Edwin.
ALL of a sudden, Edwinâs attention shifted to the window.
Lina was pushing a young girl in a wheelchair.
The girl wore a pristine white dress, and her long, straight black hair cascaded over her shoulders.
Edwin remained perplexed.
Yet, he couldnât deny the allure of such grace and beauty.
The little girl happened to be Laura.
âWhat has caught your eye, Edwin?â Rena gently inquired as she tousled his ha
r.
Edwin snapped back to reality and shook his head.
The adults remained oblivious to Edwinâs momentary distraction and the profound effect that scene had on him.
Edwin felt a tinge of embarrassment and irritation.
Once again, it was Laura.
Was she still confined to the hospital?
Alexis cradled Olivia as she said, âEdwin mustâve been ogling at a pretty girl.
Our teacher mentioned that boys his age canât resist beautiful girls, especially those in white dresses.
â
A blush tinged Edwinâs cheeks.
His face reddening, he countered, âI wasnât.
â
Alexis grinned.
