If only he hadnât gone to Braseovell that fateful day, Rena probably wouldnât have been affected so badly by the explosion, and Alexis wouldnât have been so weak after her premature birth.
Rena remained silent, neither pushing him away nor uttering a word.
As parents of such a special child, they needed to support each other through this journey.
After a long pause, Waylen withdrew his hand and said gently, âGo upstairs.
I have a meeting later.
You can pick up Alexis this aftemoon, and Iâll pick her up in the evenin;
Rena nodded, her mind overwhelmed,
She almost ran away, not knowing what she was trying to escape from.
Was she avoiding Waylenâs tenderness or the painful memories of the past?
Renaâs mind wandered as she absentmindedly cut the fruit.
She nearly nicked her finger, making her involuntarily flinch.
Leaning against the sickbed, Eloise smiled softly and muttered, âPut it down.
You might end up cutting yourself.
â
Rena lowered her hand and called out softly, âMom.
â
Eloise beckoned her closer, taking her hand gently.
She then said in a tender voice, âI didnât know about Alexisâ existence until this year.
Waylen took her to Czanch, and it shocked everyone.
Your grandmother cried for a long time, and Waylen knelt before all night.
â
Hearing this, Rena leaned closer to Eloise in attempt to seek some comfort.
Eloise affectionately touched her head and continued saying in a hushed tone, âYour uncle wanted you to have more choices, not to stay with Waylen solely for the sake of the child.
Thatâs why he didnât refuse Jennaâs request for you to go on a blind date with her son.
I also want you to follow your heart, but donât rush into making a decision.
You and Waylen have broken up and gotten back together several times.

Rena nodded and replied, âIâll think it over.
â
All she wanted now was to take good care of Alexis and raise her.
Eloise smiled and suggested, âBring Alexis here tomorrow.
I havenât seen her in a long time, and 1 miss her dearly.
She looks just like you did as a child but has Waylenâs personality.
â
The thought of Alexis brought a gentle smile to Renaâs face.
She spent most of the day with Eloise and didnât pick Alexis up until half-past three in the afternoon.
Right outside the kindergarten, Rena waited patiently.
Alexis raised her head proudly upon seeing her mother.
Rena took her daughterâs schoolbag, squatting down to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
With a warm smile, she said, âIâll be working at the restaurant later.
Would you like to join me for some French food?â
Alexis blinked her big eyes and responded sweetly, âMom, donât you have money? Dad has a lot of money!â
