Alexis peered at Rena’s belly and inquired gently, "Ils mommy going to have another baby?”

Rena was visibly taken aback.

Waylen fastened Alexis’ seatbelt and smiled, "I never said that. She's a clever girl."

He beamed with pride for having such a brilliant daughter.

Rena didn't keep anything from Alexis. She tenderly kissed her daughter and gently shared, "|won't know for sure until | see the doctor."

Alexis didn't harbor any jealousy.

She adored the idea of having a younger sibling. If there were more little toys at home, she would happily invite Leonel over for playtime.

After dropping Alexis off at kindergarten, Waylen drove Rena to the hospital where Jazlyn had already arranged for the doctor to see them promptly.

Soon enough, they received the news.

Rena was five weeks pregnant.

In the hospital corridor, Rena gazed at the ultrasound picture for an extended moment. ©

Standing beside her, Waylen immediately called Korbyn. After a brief conversation, Waylen whispered, “Alright, I'll bring her back later.”

Hanging up the phone, he looked down at Rena.

She looked back at him.

In a husky voice, Waylen murmured, “Rena, we're having another baby."

His heart overflowed with tenderness and he couldn't resist wrapping her in a gentle embrace, allowing her to lean against his chest as he soothingly ran his fingers through her soft, long brown hair... He had never realized how much he yearned for a child

After holding her close for a while, he gently caressed her face and said, “Rena, let's get married, alright?"

She hummed and replied with a hint of a nasal voice, "But you haven't proposed yet... You haven't even prepared a ring.”

He replied tenderly, "Aren't two children more precious than a ring?"

Rena couldn't help but give him a playful thump.

In that moment, memories of their first marriage and the wedding ring surfaced in their minds. It had been laid to rest in the Fowler family's ancestral house by Waylen as a symbol of mourning... A way to commemorate their lost love.

Waylen whispered, "Back then, | wasn't certain if we could make it work."
