Rather than ascending the stairs immediately, she chose to remain downstairs with the two children. After soothing Alexis to sleep, she made her way to the room once inhabited by Waylen.

By the window, Waylen stood, cigarette in hand.

Observing him from the doorway, Rena fixated her gaze upon his perfect profile. As he smoked, he inhaled and exhaled, the wisps of smoke swiftly vanishing into the air.

Sensing her presence, Waylen turned his head to meet her eyes. He then extinguished the cigarette and quipped casually, "Have you learned to tell on me now?"

Rena closed the door softly.

Approaching him with measured steps, she gently wrapped her arms around his waist under his unwavering gaze.

"He knows. Waylen, we are a couple. | don't wish to be apart from you. Isn't it normal for me to yearn to be close to you?"

Waylen's eyes held an enigmatic gleam.

Leisurely, he leaned in, his gaze fixed on the woman embraced in his arms.

She appeared pliant and submissive, as though she belonged entirely to him. The sensation aroused a flicker of desire within him, and he huskily inquired, "Is your craving for me that intense?"

He had heard that women could engage in intimacy after the first three months...

Waylen was a man who would never willingly subject himself to suffering.

In his recollections, he had always kept his distance from women. However, even though he couldn't remember any of it, he found himself with a wife - a young and beautiful woman carrying his child.

The mere thought of it was exhilarating.

Though he harbored no emotional connection with her, his body seemed to have its own feelings...

‘And now, she was lying beneath him at the edge of the bed.

Instinctively, he held her waist and caressed her gently.

She feared that Waylen might accidentally harm the baby, so despite her desire to be close to him, she struggled to overcome her inhibitions and be aroused.

But their efforts were in vain...

With a mocking whisper in her ear, Waylen taunted, "Don't you love me very much? Why don't you want me to touch you? Look at yourself. You weren't turned on at all... Huh?"

Tears welled up in Rena's eyes.

She averted her gaze awkwardly and responded, "I'm pregnant. | don't want to do this."
