Waylen did not depart.
He beseeched Jazlyn to procure a set of documents so he could work from Rena’s apartment. He also requested the Fowlers’ house servant to bring some light refreshments here… He waited with unwavering patience and gentleness for her to awaken.
Rena slumbered for an extended duration and only roused from her sleep at nine o’clock in the evening.
Waylen caught wind of the commotion and entered the room. Shedding his coat, he remained clad in a shirt and tailored trousers, exuding an air of striking handsomeness within the cozy confines of the apartment.

Alexis Fowler, Waylen tenderly caressed her face and uttered, “It possesses a delightful ring. Our child shall bear the name Alexis.”
Rena continued to eat.
After she finished her meal, she proposed, “Let us solemnize our wedding after the arrival of our baby, Autumn would be the ideal season for it. Waylen, I hold a fondness for autumn.”
Whatever she expressed, he responded affirmatively. Perhaps due to the falling snow or the presence of her pregnancy, this night brimmed with tenderness.
Clutching a glass of steaming milk, Rena gazed at the snowflakes dancing outside.
Meanwhile, Waylen occupied the sofa, tending to his business matters. He recognized an abundance of tasks awaiting his attention. Once he concluded his ongoing affairs, he intended to take a brief hiatus to accompany Rena during the delivery of their child.
He contemplated that this marked her inaugural experience of motherhood and he desired to be by her side throughout.

Lyndon’s discontent became evident. “Waylen, it will only require three days of your presence.”
Waylen confessed, “Rena is pregnant. Apart from caring for her, I also need to visit the Evans household in Czanch. Mr. Coleman, can you comprehend my predicament?”
Lyndon was taken aback…
Rena was with child?
He had always believed that Rena and Waylen would not end up together, yet they had found a blissful resolution.
In a tremulous voice, Lyndon inquired, “Has she reconciled with the Evans family?”
