Renaâs throat felt constricted, and her composure threatened to crumble.
She extended a trembling hand and cautiously touched the child.
Alexisâ excitement even surpassed Renaâs.
She fixated her gaze upon Renaâs brown hair, lovely countenance, slender waist and graceful legs.
In Alexisâ eyes, Rena epitomized stunning beauty-a mother tailor-made for her.

In a few succinct words, the portrait of a destitute child was painted.
Renaâs heart ached.
She gently wiped away Alexisâ tears, unable to resist the impulse to plant a tender ki*s on her cheek.
In that fleeting moment, Renaâs heart melted, although a fingering sense of guilt nagged at her, as if she were stealing something from others.
Without hesitation, Rena resolved to teach Alexis the art of playing the piano.
Alexisâ tender age posed a challenge for Rena, who needed to cradle the little one in her arms while they sat before the piano.
Nestled in Renaâs embrace, Alexis wore a joyful expression.
However, she seemed oblivious to the instructions Rena imparted.
Rena couldnât stifle Alexisâ learning progress.
Thus, Rena adopted a stern demeanor and requested Alexis to demonstrate what had just been taught.
Alexis readily agreed.
She extended her slender fingers and began to play the pianoâ¦.
Rena was taken aback.
The child possessed an innate talent that surpassed Renaâs wildest imagination, She proved to be the finest student Rena had ever encountered, surpassing even Renaâs own childhood proficiency.
