Waylen playfully pinched her cheek and asked, “Why do you call him Edwin Evans?”
Resting her head on Waylen’s arm, Alexis pulled the blanket over herself, closing her eyes. “Because he is the son of my great-uncle.”
Pride swelled in Waylen’s heart.
He showered his little girl with affectionate kisses and settled down on the sofa, cradling Alexis in his arms.
She playfully tickled her father, placing her feet on his belly, bringing a sense of joy amidst the complexities of his thoughts.
The next day, when Waylen woke up, the first thing he saw was Rena’s pretty face.
She was squatting beside the sofa, covering Alexis with a blanket.
Perhaps it was because he knew she heard him touching himself in the bathroom Last night that they both felt a bit awkward. But Rena still spoke to him in a gentle and considerate manner, “Why did you sleep in the study with Alexis?”

Then she stood up to leave, but Waylen grabbed her by the am. “Rena, I also want breakfast.”
Rena didn’t respond at first. After a while, she smiled at him and nodded, and he finally let her go.
She walked out of the study and pondered a little, only to realize that the man seemed to be having a tantrum.
But she refused to satisfy him due to his silence.
However… If he told her what he really wanted, if he asked for it, would she really give it to him?
