âYes, yes!â Julie hurriedly replied.
âHe had some pork ribs.
Thatâs his favorite dish.
â
Waylen felt Julie had done a great job in taking care of the child and his mother.
He wanted to thank her properly for all she had done, but he then changed his mind and kept quiet.
After a while, he stole a glance at Rena who was sitting quietly with Matthew on the sofa.
He didnât want to be too forward.
No matter how smart he was, he knew that his wife was smarter, and she probably had a better idea on how to handle the current situation.
Of course, their main aim was to take Matthew back with them.
But at the moment, that did not seem very possible.
Obviously, Marcus and Melissa were still not reconciled.
Hence, Waylen and Rena couldnât just snatch the little boy from Melissa by force.
Meanwhile, Julie wasnât sure about their plans for Matthew and hesitated to voice out her concerns.
Waylen bent down again and touched Matthewâs head affectionately as he mused out loud, âItâd be better to leave Marcus and Melissa settle things on their own.
After all, itâs not appropriate for us to get involved in the affairs of a couple.
However, this apartment is way too small for four people to live in.
How could Marcus be so careless? He needs to arrange a bigger house.
I will talk to him about it later.
â
âExactly! Itâs too crowded for four people,â Rena concurred.
âIâm glad you can see what I mean,â Waylen said in satisfaction.
âIn fact, we need to look for somewhere better.
Moreover, the young couple should have some private space of their own.
Letâs talk about it later and make sure we arrange everything as quickly as possible.
â
Julie was surprised to hear them discussing this issue.
She was not sure whether Waylen and Rena had any clue about the situation on ground.
Marcus and Melissa hadnât seen each other for three years.
Even though they had a child together, it would take some time before they would be able to find a way to get along with each other again.
In fact, would Melissa even agree with the idea in the first place?
By now, Waylen had carried Matthew in his arms like a baby.
âMatthew, would you like to see Daddy every day?â he asked with a wide smile.
Though he was young, Matthew knew that Waylen and Rena were members of his family.
He nodded enthusiastically and declared, âI love Daddy!â
It was right at this time that Melissa came in with Marcus following right behind her.
Hence, they both heard what Matthew said.
With a languid smile on his face, Marcus took off his overcoat and put it on the rack, as if he was at his own place.
Then, he changed into a pair of slippers and even fetched another pair for Melissa.
Melissa was rendered speechless by this action.
