Hanging up the phone, he looked down at Rena.
She looked back at him.
In a husky voice, Waylen murmured, âRena, weâre having another baby.
â
His heart overflowed with tenderness and he couldnât resist wrapping her in a gentle embrace, allowing her to lean against his chest as he soothingly ran his fingers through her soft, long brown hair⦠He had never realized how much he yearned for a child
After holding her close for a while, he gently caressed her face and said, âRena, letâs get married, alright?â
She hummed and replied with a hint of a nasal voice, âBut you havenât proposed yet⦠You havenât even prepared a
ring.
â
He replied tenderly, âArenât two children more precious than a ring?â
Rena couldnât help but give him a playful thump.
In that moment, memories of their first marriage and the wedding ring surfaced in their minds.
It had been laid to rest in the Fowler familyâs ancestral house by Waylen as a symbol of mourning⦠A way to commemorate their lost love.
Waylen whispered, âBack then, I wasnât certain if we could make it work.

There were too many uncertainties at that time.
He wasnât sure if Alexis would pull through.
He wasnât sure⦠if she would eventually forget him.
Waylen couldnât help but hold Rena tightly.
He had never been one for sentimentalities but now he felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude⦠Grateful for all the people who had helped bring Rena into his life.
âAn hour later, Waylen brought Rena back to the Fowler family house.
The Fowlers were all ecstatic upon learning about Renaâs pregnancy.
Korbyn was leisurely smoking but as soon as he spotted Rena, he promptly extinguished the cigarette, standing up to approach her.
âJuliette has been praying hard and it seems to have worked.
She prayed every day and, finally, youâre pregnant.
â
He rubbed his hands together and eagerly looked at Renaâs belly.
Waylen helped Rena sit down and added, âItâs only five weeks.
Itâs still early.
â
Korbyn fetched a glass of water, placing it in front of Rena and inquired with genuine concern about her well-being.
With a smile, Waylen turned to Rena and remarked, âThis baby is a big deal.
Iâve never been doted on like this before by my father.
â
With a warm smile, Korbyn playfully scolded, âRena is the one I care about.
Whatâs all this talk about a baby?â
