What were they to do?
Korbyn extended his hand and gently caressed the little boyâs face.
He had developed a genuine fondness for this child, and thus he turned to Waylen and said, âWaylen, you handle this matter.
â
A tinge of sadness engulfed him.
He lifted his gaze to his beloved daughter, taking note of her plain attire, causing his heart to ache.
After a prolonged silence, he uttered in a hushed voice, âJust stay here! You canât rely on your brother and sister-in-law indefinitely.
They have their own lives.
Your mother and I will help take care of the child.
â
He didnât hold her accountable, yet a sense of melancholy lingered within him.
With that, he ascended the stairs alone, heading towards his study.
Juliette wept softly.
âYou and your brother always make me worry.

Cecilia bit her lip and whispered, âMom, Iâm sorry.

Rena subtly winked at Waylen.
Waylen made his way upstairs.
He pushed open the study door, which was veiled in a cloud of smoke.
Waylen opened the window, extinguishing Korbynâs cigarette, and remarked, âYou rarely smoke for Alexisâ well-being.
Why are you smoking now? Is it because youâre so elated after Ceciliaâs return?â
Korbyn glanced up at his son and sneered, âIâm elated? When have you ever seen me happy? Cecilia has always been prone to shocking actions, not only with Harold but also with Mark! She even had a child!â
Waylen prepared tea for him.
He poured a cup, placing it in front of Korbyn, and said in a subdued tone, âLast night, I flew to Czanch and confronted Mark.
We had a fight! Heâs unaware of Cecilia having a child!â
Korbyn let out a sigh.
âHe doesnât have any feelings for Cecilia, does he?â
Waylen took a sip of tea and replied, âNot really! If he had no feelings for her, a cautious man like him wouldnât have sustained such a relationship with her for over half a year.
I believe Mark thought it was inappropriate for them to be together! Donât you understand Ceciliaâs nature?â
Hence, Waylen chose not to disclose Edwinâs existence to Mark

.
They were capable of raising a child.
Hearing this, Korbyn fell silent.
He remained astonished, unable to comprehend why his daughter had become entangled with Mark.
To add to the complexity, Markâs niece was the ex-wife of Ceciliaâs brother!
After a considerable period of contemplation, Korbyn uttered âDonât make things difficult for Rena.
Itâs not her fault! Donât let it affect your relationship.
