Rena chuckled lightly.
âDo you think Uncle Mark might lose Ceciliaâs trust because of this woman?â she asked, half-teasingly.
Peterâs reply was tinged with concern.
âExactly.
Youâre aware of Ceciliaâs sensitivity towards Mr.
Evansâ past indiscretions.
He really canât afford another romantic entanglement.
â
Renaâs tone remained gentle.
âIf Uncle Mark isnât interested in Elaine, thereâs no real issue.
Ceciliaâs acquainted with Elaineâs type.
I doubt sheâs at any disadvantage.
Elaineâs presence might even invigorate their relationship, which might actually be a good thing.
They need to reinforce their trust.
â
Peter was momentarily speechless.
Rena continued, âElaineâs unlikely to be a significant threat.
The main challenge for Cecilia and Uncle Mark lies in their prolonged estrangement.
Their issues are internal, not caused by external parties.
â
Grinning, Peter complimented, âYouâre quite the relationship guru.
â
On the other end, Rena wryly shook her head.
An expert? Hardly.
At home, she felt dominated by Waylen.
Despite feeling somewhat oppressed, Rena found comfort in Waylenâs well-maintained appearance.
Few men in their thirties remained as appealing.
She despised herself for thinking this way, yet couldnât help it.

To his surprise, Cecilia was absent.
The servant informed him sheâd left for an audition.
Olivia, his young daughter, tottered over, clinging playfully to his leg.
Edwin, setting aside his schoolbag, took Olivia to have some snacks.
Mark decided to call Cecilia.
He asked straightforwardly when she picked up, âWill you be home for dinner?â
After a pause, Cecilia replied, âI need to attend a dinner party tonight.
â
Feeling a twinge of disappointment, Mark respected her independence.
After a momentâs thought, he offered, âIâll pick you up afterward.
