When Waylen arrived, Alexis had already fallen asleep.
He gently placed his suitcase down, removed his coat, and naturally asked Rena, “Is Lexi already asleep?”
“Yes,” she replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWaylen entered the bedroom and placed the teddy bear he brought back from Hondrau next to the little girl’s pillow. When she woke up, she would see it immediately. Waylen appeared extremely gentle during this moment.
Meanwhile, Rena stood at the door, observing silently.
Waylen sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.
When he finally stood up, he noticed Rena gazing at him. He chuckled and asked, “Are you jealous?”
Before Rena could respond, he pulled out a box from his pocket and said, “This is for you!”
Rena opened it. Inside, she found not an extravagant item but a pair of exquisite pear! earrings.
It was a lovely gift that a husband would bring back for his wife from a business trip.
Rena hesitated for a moment, Waylen lowered his voice and said, “They’ll suit you.”

Waylen sensed that Rena had something she wanted to discuss with him.
Rena prepared a cup of coffee for him. As he took a sip, she said softly, “Lexi seems a bit unhappy because of our separation.”
Waylen remained silent, aware of Alexis’ feelings better than Rena did.
After a long pause, Waylen finally spoke up in a gentle tone.
“It’s alright. I’ll talk to her later.”
Rena nodded,
Waylen placed the coffee cup on the table and said gently, “Rena, it’s been a while since we last had such a calm conversation.”
