In the afternoon, Rena and Waylen set out to pick up Alexis.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Rena couldn’t shake her thoughts.
Waylen grinned. “Isn’t this outcome expected? Cecilia has always had a gentle nature. If it weren’t for her broken heart, she would have embraced him two years ago.”
Waylen added, “She has undergone significant changes in the past two years.”
Rena’s heart softened.

Waylen glanced at her.
He stepped on the gas, driving for a while before smiling. “Have we truly reconciled? We haven’t been intimate for two months.
Rena… can you call it reconciliation?”
Rena chose not to argue with this cheeky man.
It wouldn’t lead to anything positive.
They fell into a brief silence, feeling somewhat upset about the past.
At a red light, Waylen gently held her hand and whispered, “Dress up for the anniversary celebration, will you?”
Rena agreed.
She could sense that Waylen had undergone significant changes.
His behavior towards her and their child had evolved…
Moreover, he displayed remarkable restraint in the matter concerning her uncle and Cecilia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRena and Waylen now resided together with their child. She was willing to treat him better, which led her to agree when he hinted his desire for intimacy on the night of the anniversary party.
As for the past, she made a conscious decision to let time heal the wounds slowly.
Rena didn’t realize how much her simple “okay” meant to Waylen.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t endure it. He hadn’t been with any woman in the past three years, and he was content with that.
Now, he got to see Rena every day… But what truly mattered to him was that she willingly wanted to be with him, that she opened her heart and entrusted him with her love.
With grace and gentleness, Rena lifted little Alexis into her arms.
As Waylen settled into the car, fastening his seat belt, he pondered and proposed, “These days, I’m swamped to look after Alexis. How about dining out tonight?”
