Korbyn extended his hand and gently caressed the little boy’s face. He had developed a genuine fondness for this child, and thus he turned to Waylen and said, “Waylen, you handle this matter.”
A tinge of sadness engulfed him.
He lifted his gaze to his beloved daughter, taking note of her plain attire, causing his heart to ache.
After a prolonged silence, he uttered in a hushed voice, “Just stay here! You can’t rely on your brother and sister-in-law indefinitely. They have their own lives. Your mother and I will help take care of the child.”

With that, he ascended the stairs alone, heading towards his study.
Juliette wept softly. “You and your brother always make me worry.”
Cecilia bit her lip and whispered, “Mom, I’m sorry.”
Rena subtly winked at Waylen.
Waylen made his way upstairs.
He pushed open the study door, which was veiled in a cloud of smoke.
Waylen opened the window, extinguishing Korbyn’s cigarette, and remarked, “You rarely smoke for Alexis’ well-being. Why are you smoking now? Is it because you’re so elated after Cecilia’s return?”
Korbyn glanced up at his son and sneered, “I’m elated? When have you ever seen me happy? Cecilia has always been prone to shocking actions, not only with Harold but also with Mark! She even had a child!”
Waylen prepared tea for him.
He poured a cup, placing it in front of Korbyn, and said in a subdued tone, “Last night, I flew to Czanch and confronted Mark.
We had a fight! He’s unaware of Cecilia having a child!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKorbyn let out a sigh. “He doesn’t have any feelings for Cecilia, does he?”
Waylen took a sip of tea and replied, “Not really! If he had no feelings for her, a cautious man like him wouldn’t have sustained such a relationship with her for over half a year. I believe Mark thought it was inappropriate for them to be together! Don’t you understand Cecilia’s nature?”
Hence, Waylen chose not to disclose Edwin’s existence to Mark.
They were capable of raising a child.
Hearing this, Korbyn fell silent.
He remained astonished, unable to comprehend why his daughter had become entangled with Mark. To add to the complexity, Mark’s niece was the ex-wife of Cecilia’s brother!
After a considerable period of contemplation, Korbyn uttered “Don’t make things difficult for Rena. It’s not her fault! Don’t let it affect your relationship.”
