Waylen’s gaze remained fixed on Rena as she spoke.
Rena couldn’t bear the intensity of his stare.
She put the book down and said gently, “I’m talking to you. Please don’t look at me like that.”
Waylen set down his cup.
Leaning against the back of the sofa opposite her, he chuckled.

Rena nodded.
Waylen approached her again, wrapping his arms around her from behind, holding her a little tighter.
He pressed his good-looking thin lips against her neck as if he was kissing her.
“Rena, do you see him as your own child?”
Rena was taken aback by his question.
Waylen continued gently, “You don’t, and that’s why you want to give him preferential treatment.”
Rena wanted to retort instinctively, but Waylen gently touched her lips with his slender fingers and continued, “If Marcus were this age and I were to train him like this, you definitely wouldn’t object to my decision. Just because Leonel is not my biological son, you’re afraid that he might feel mistreated, right?”
Rena thought he had a point, although something still felt amiss.
In any case, she couldn’t counter his eloquence.
If she disagreed, it would imply that she didn’t consider Leonel as her own son.
It took Rena a while to regain her voice.

Waylen nodded seriously.
Although he held her, his expression was earnest.
“I don’t want Alexis to enter the business world, even though she’s intelligent. Among the kids, Alexis is the one I love the most. I want her to have a free and happy Life.”
In essence, Alexis could do whatever she pleased under Waylen’s protection.
It was Waylen’s way of loving Alexis.
Rena knew Waylen favored Alexis, but she hadn’t expected it to be this pronounced.
