As the sun rose, Rena wearily closed the document.
Waylen found himself immersed in memories. He whispered, “You were unwell during that time. I was afraid you couldn’t endure it.

Rena didn’t decline his suggestion.
She was Alexis’ mother. When she entered this villa last night, she understood the consequences of her choice.
But she had no regrets.
Rena had her own self-serving motive as well. She cautiously expressed, “Waylen, I. I don’t plan on getting married. If you have thoughts of remarrying, why not allow me to care for Alexis? 1 promise 1 won’t travel abroad. You can see her whenever you wish.”
