Korbyn then changed the subject. “So when will you two get married?”
Get married?
Waylen looked at Rena and grinned. “Dad, | just got back together with Rena. It’s too soon to talk about marriage. | just want to enjoy my time with her for at least two more years.”
Korbyn sneered. “Two more years? Do you think you two are getting any younger? And what are you even talking about? You think getting married will get in the way of your enjoyment?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWaylen rubbed his nose.
Rena took the initiative to say, “We will talk about getting married when Alexis is older.”
Korbyn nodded. “That’s a proper answer. You’re lucky Rena is willing to put up with you,
Waylen. You can’t even give me a decent reply about you two tying the knot.”
These words made everyone laugh.
Rena’s mood got a little better.
On their way back home, Waylen held Rena’s hand and asked, “When will you marry me?”
Sitting in the back seat, Alexis leaned closer and waited for her mother’s answer.
Rena saw Alexis’ expression in the rearview mirror and smiled. “Next fall,” she replied.
The light ahead had turned red, and Waylen stopped the car. He teased Rena, “I’m not getting any younger, Miss Gordon. If you don’t marry me soon, I’m afraid | will end up an unmarried sad old man because no one will want me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRena wasn’t fooled by him.
She rolled her eyes and chuckled, “Oh, please. A lot of women will want you.”
Without saying anything, Waylen looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.
Staring back at him, Rena inexplicably felt ill at ease.
He had looked at her like this many, many times, but still, she couldn’t quite bear the emotions she felt every time he did.
In the evening, Waylen put Alexis to bed.
Then, he went to Rena, pressed her on the bed, and made love to her twice. After that, he held her in his arms and said softly, “‘m going to Hondrau on business tomorrow. I’ll be there for about ten days. | would really love to take you and Alexis with me, but she has school.”
The idea of herself and Alexis coming with Waylen to Hondrau excited Rena.
