Rena laughed, looked up, and found Waylen staring at her. His dark eyes glinted with mature masculinity that made her catch her breath.

After dinner, they tucked in the two kids and kissed them good night.

Rena then walked Waylen out.

The two walked the villa path side-by-side under the star-studded night sky, which undeniably felt romantic.

Waylen held Rena's hand and said, "Alexis used to take showers by herself. Why have you been bathing her recently? You understand that the children need to learn how to be independent, don't you?"

Although he was discussing their daughter with her, there was no blame in his tone. In fact, he sounded gentle.

He treated her as every loving husband in the world would treat his wife.

Rena was willing to talk to him. She leaned against a tree and answered, "She has been clingy lately.”

Waylen stared at Rena.

It was dark around, and they couldn't see each other clearly.

But there was light in Rena’s eyes.

Waylen stepped forward and stroked her face.

"Is it because of me? Is it because you don't have me around?"

This woman in front of him was a single mother to two children and the boss of a massive company.

With all the things on her plate on a daily basis, she might not find time to be happy.

Rena swallowed her lips but ultimately said nothing. She turned away and said, "You should go home now. Drive safe."

Waylen hugged her tightly.

He didn't say anything. Once again, he just soaked in her warmth.

At this moment, he really wished that he could be the one to make Rena happy.

After holding her for a long time, he muttered, "You should go back to the villa."

Rena nodded.

But neither of them moved. In the end, under the tree, he kissed her, and she kissed him back with equal fervor. Both of them began to lose control. He put his hand up her skirt and fingered her, making her feel comfortable for a while.
