This woman was infuriating, yet he couldn't help but be drawn to her.

Waylen stood up, positioning his hands on either side of her, leaning closer, and said in a husky voice, "What if | like your scent?”

Rena's expression darkened.

In acold tone, she replied, "I'm sorry, but you'll never get anywhere near me again." ©

Waylen gazed at the tender skin before him, longing to hold her, but he restrained himself.

After bantering with him for a while, Rena inquired seriously, "Where are my diary and recorder?"

"Do you want them?

If you do, then let me stay the night here.

I won't ask for anything else. | just want to be with you and the children."

Seeing through his tactics, Rena pushed him away, intending to usher him out. It was at that moment that the nanny knocked on the door and she sounded terrified.

"Ma'am, Marcus seems to have a fever."

Rena rushed to the baby room.

Marcus was burning with a fever of 102 degrees.

His face was flushed, and Rena worriedly changed her clothes and instructed the servant,

"Get the car ready. We need to go to the hospital right away.”

As she panicked, Waylen held her hand and suggested, "It'll take at least half an hour for the driver to arrive. Let me drive you there.”

He gently picked up Marcus with ease.

Since he was tall and strong, it was easy for him to carry the child. Rena had no choice but to quickly follow him.

It was a chilly night.

Rena got into the back seat of the car, and Waylen carefully handed Marcus to her.

Their eyes met, and Waylen whispered, “Rena, no matter how disappointed you are in me,

Alexis and Marcus are my children. It's impossible for me not to love them.”
