She whispered, “How about we have another child?”
Stunned, Waylen raised his head and looked at her in disbelief mixed with pleasant surprise.
Earlier that evening, Ross called Waylen and told him Rena’s encounter with Harold, and later he ran into the man in the club. Naturally, Waylen was a little annoyed by Harold’s provocation.
What if Rena was so disappointed with him that she’d turn to her ex?

“Of course.”
Waylen lowered his head and kissed Marcus on the cheek. In a seemingly casual fashion, he asked slowly, “How about me? Do you like me?”
Rena just rolled her eyes. How could she not understand what he really meant?
The atmosphere was very ambiguous, but it was felt by both of them. After playing the piano, Alexis came over. She held Waylen’s leg and was clamoring for him to hold her.
Waylen chuckled helplessly and also picked up Alexis.
He was so strong that it was a piece of cake for him to hold the two children. He turned his head and asked Rena, “You always say that Alexis is so independent, but look at her! She’s so clingy!”
Rena had always spoiled the children, so seeing them flock to their father, she felt a little jealous. She was about to say something when Alexis suddenly chimed in.
“Daddy, even Mommy’s not yet independent. Why would you want me to be independent? I’m just a kid!”
There was nothing wrong with that.

Rena stroked Alexis’ head and said to Waylen, “I’m going to take a shower.
Go ahead and play with them for a while. She has been asking for you.”
After saying that, Rena went straight upstairs.
Perhaps it was because the weather was a little hot that Rena had tied her long brown hair into a bun as she ascended the stairs.
A small, tender part of her neck was then exposed.
Waylen glanced at Rena a few more times even as the latter trotted up the stairs.
With a sigh, Alexis said to Marcus like a wise, elderly sage, “Marcus, you should also learn to be independent, okay?”
