Rena's voice grew softer.

She continued to hum a lullaby, lulling Alexis to sleep.

In the middle of the night, as Rena gently patted Alexis’ shoulder and continued humming, Waylen leaned over and whispered, “She's asleep.”

Rena gently laid Alexis down in her princess bed and planted a loving kiss on her forehead before getting out of bed.

She then headed to the next room to check on Marcus.

The baby was sleeping soundly in the nursery, with two nannies taking turns to watch over him at night. Rena glanced at her son, reassured by his peaceful slumber, before leaving the room. Waylen followed closely behind her, and in the quiet corridor, he reached out and took her hand, gently pinning her against the wall.

"Rena, how long are you going to give me the cold shoulder?

Itold you. Nothing happened between me and her,” he implored. ©

Rena placed her hand on his shoulder and gently pushed him away. She continued walking towards her bedroom.

But Waylen didn't give up. Instead, he grabbed her wrist once more.

"Let's talk," he urged.

Rena halted, her slender figure looking frail in the dim light.

In just a few days, she seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight.

It was evident she no longer resembled a woman who had given birth just two months ago.

Her voice was hoarse as she said, "What else is there to talk about? I've been rejecting and despising Mavis ever since she appeared. If you truly cared for me and considered me your wife, you wouldn't have made such a decision." ©

With those words, went straight to her bedroom.

She softly closed the door behind her, leaving Waylen standing there, feeling deeply unsettled.

The following morning, Waylen and Rena were the only ones in the dining room.

The servant informed them, "Mr. Fowler and Mrs. Fowler went out with the children.”

Waylen knew that his parents intended to give them some alone time. He turned to Rena and suggested, "There's a concert at two o'clock in the afternoon. Marcus has been nursed.

Shall we go to the concert together?"

Rena ate quietly, taking her time.
