NovelBarIf only he hadn’t gone to Braseovell that fateful day, Rena probably wouldn’t have been affected so badly by the explosion, and Alexis wouldn’t have been so weak after her premature birth.
Rena remained silent, neither pushing him away nor uttering a word. As parents of such a special child, they needed to support each other through this journey.
After a long pause, Waylen withdrew his hand and said gently, “Go upstairs. I have a meeting later. You can pick up Alexis this aftemoon, and I’ll pick her up in the evenin;

Rena’s mind wandered as she absentmindedly cut the fruit.
She nearly nicked her finger, making her involuntarily flinch.
Leaning against the sickbed, Eloise smiled softly and muttered, “Put it down. You might end up cutting yourself.”
Rena lowered her hand and called out softly, “Mom.”
Eloise beckoned her closer, taking her hand gently.
She then said in a tender voice, “I didn’t know about Alexis’ existence until this year. Waylen took her to Czanch, and it shocked everyone. Your grandmother cried for a long time, and Waylen knelt before all night.”
Hearing this, Rena leaned closer to Eloise in attempt to seek some comfort.
Eloise affectionately touched her head and continued saying in a hushed tone, “Your uncle wanted you to have more choices, not to stay with Waylen solely for the sake of the child. That’s why he didn’t refuse Jenna’s request for you to go on a blind date with her son. | also want you to follow your heart, but don’t rush into making a decision. You and Waylen have broken up and gotten back together several times.”
Rena nodded and replied, “I’ll think it over.”
All she wanted now was to take good care of Alexis and raise her.
Eloise smiled and suggested, “Bring Alexis here tomorrow. I haven’t seen her in a long time, and 1 miss her dearly. She looks just like you did as a child but has Waylen’s personality.”

She spent most of the day with Eloise and didn’t pick Alexis up until half-past three in the afternoon.
Right outside the kindergarten, Rena waited patiently.
Alexis raised her head proudly upon seeing her mother.
Rena took her daughter’s schoolbag, squatting down to wipe the sweat off her forehead. With a warm smile, she said, “I’ll be working at the restaurant later.
Would you like to join me for some French food?”
Alexis blinked her big eyes and responded sweetly, “Mom, don’t you have money? Dad has a lot of money!”
