Stroking Alexisâ head, Rena heard her say, âDaddy would feel sorry for you if he knew.
â
Gradually, Rena regained her composure.
Of course, she couldnât let Cecilia and her child continue living in such conditions, and it wouldnât be appropriate to confide in Korbyn.
If they were to learn of the situation, disappointment and sadness would surely befall them.
Rena thought it would be best to let Waylen handle it.
She touched Alexisâ head gently and whispered, âWhen your daddy comes home tonight, tell him that I cried and you saw your aunt.
Do you understand?â
Alexis raised her little head and pondered for a while before asking, âWhy donât you tell Daddy directly?â
Rena sighed.
Her relationship with Waylen was still uncertain, and she couldnât bring herself to cry in front of him.
Shaking her head, Alexis thought to herself how complicated the world of adults could be.
At eight oâclock in the evening, Waylen returned from work just as Rena was teaching Alexis to play the piano.
Rena looked stunning in her dress that showed her slender waist and delicate legs.
Alexis skillfully played the piano while Waylen sat beside Rena, preparing to tease her.
Suddenly, he froze.
Upon seeing him, Rena paused and asked gently, âHave you had dinner?â
Waylen smiled and remarked, âIâm not accustomed to your sudden tenderness.
But since youâve asked⦠Cook me a bowl of noodles then!â ©

Rena headed to the kitchen, and Waylen took off his coat, tossing it aside.
He picked up Alexis and asked, âWhatâs wrong with your mommy?â
Alexis remembered her mission.
Sitting on her fatherâs lap, she furrowed her brow and said, âMommy cried today!â
Waylenâs brow furrowed as well.
Alexis continued explaining, âMom met Aunt Cecilia and a cute little boy.
â
Cecilia?
A little boy?
Waylen felt his anger rise, but he gently touched Alexisâ head and smiled.
âFrom now on, whenever your mommy cries, tell me, okay?â
