"Im not that softhearted,” Rena said.

"But I'll be softhearted this one time and give you another chance to start over."

Then without waiting for a response, Rena hung up.

Pursing her lips, she ruminated and realized that she was a little different from before. The old Rena wouldn't have been so controlling.

She wondered whether Waylen would hate her for this.

At the thought of her new dominating self, Rena lowered her head and smiled... ©

After looking up, Rena found Waylen leaning against the door.

His eyes were gentle as he stared at her.

Rena held up her phone and explained, "That was Mavis. She has gone to Heron.”

Without saying anything, Waylen came over and kissed Rena on the tip of her nose.

"| just fed Marcus. The little guy can drink a whole bottle in under five minutes, | swear. Oh, and the doctor said we can start introducing some solids to him."

Rena wrapped her arms around his neck and asked in a purr, "What about Alexis?”

“Downstairs, having breakfast," Waylen answered briefly, bending over to give Rena a kiss.

After kissing her for a long time, he finally pulled away and gently asked, “What kind of wedding do you want?"

Rena giggled like a schoolgirl.

"We're an old married couple. There's no need for a wedding.”

While Rena was in the bathroom freshening up, Waylen sat at the edge of the bed and lit a cigarette. He watched in pensive silence as the cigarette slowly burned out.

He could feel it.

Rena was somehow still distant from him.

Majority of the reason why she compromised and made up with him was for the sake of their children, which was understandable.

However, Waylen wasn't satisfied with just that.

He wanted Rena to love and rely on him...
