Mark lifted his eyes and replied with a faint smile, “I have a meeting tomorrow morning.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t willingly part with Cecilia and Edwin.
Waylen nodded, understanding Mark’s situation as a man.
Seeing Rena’s reluctance to let Mark leave, Waylen comforted her gently, “Go upstairs and change into warmer clothes. Let’s see him off.”
Tears glistened in Rena’s eyes.

She had never expected him to be so considerate one day.
She nodded and went upstairs.
Waylen patted Alexis’ butt and said, “Go upstairs and stay by your mom’s side. Don’t let her cry.”
Hearing this, Alexis gave a nod and hurriedly caught up with Rena.
Alexis’ curly hair shimmered under the crystal chandelier.
Mark adored Alexis very much and couldn’t help but envy Waylen.
He envied Waylen had four children in his prime, and could bring so much joy to Rena.
On the contrary, he had been busy all his life and had only fallen in love with a woman late in life, with limited time he could spend with her.
Waylen glanced at Mark’s lonely expression and smiled, saying, “I never view you as a sentimental soul.”
Mark somehow found solace in his words.
Rena, now wearing a thick coat, descended the stairs.

Rena gently touched his hand and said, “That’s enough, or it’ll be too tight.”
Waylen playfully complained to Mark, “She’s quite picky.”
Alexis, the most cherished kid in the family, joined their way to see Cecilia and Edwin off.
As they drove late into the night in the luxurious limousines, Waylen asked Rena to lean on his shoulder to avoid fatigue.
Sitting next to them, Alexis gazed at her mother with anticipation.
