This child was unlike his parents, destined for a lifetime of blessings.

On their way back, Waylen stole a glance at his wife through the rearview mirror.

Seated on a child's chair, Marcus attentively looked at the picture book Rena showed him. The little boy seemed to grasp some deeper meaning and his Laughter revealed a row of pearly white teeth, making him utterly adorable.

At the next intersection, Waylen checked the time and realized it was time to pick up Alexis.

“Shall we dine at the restaurant after picking up Alexis?"

The couple had been getting along splendidly Lately. Not wanting to disappoint Waylen, Rena replied, her voice soft and tender, "Okay. Let's bring Leonel along as well. I heard from Alexis that his family has been going through tough times lately, which isn't conducive to Leonel's growth."

Rena's compassionate words struck a chord.

Observing Rena through the rearview mirror, Waylen faintly smiled and suggested, "If you truly care for Leonel, why don't we invite him to live with us? This way, Alexis will also have a companion."

Rena was taken aback by the unexpected proposal.

Steering the wheel slightly, Waylen continued, “I believe you genuinely care for him."

Remaining uncertain, Rena refrained from answering. The decision not only rested with Leonel but also depended on his mother. They couldn't simply take someone else's son away.

To their surprise, upon arriving at the kindergarten, Leonel was holding the hand of a woman in her early 30s, said to be his aunt.

The bond between the Fowler family and the Douglas family was indeed unique.

Waylen and Rena got out of the car and inquired about the situation.

Tears welled up in the corner of Leonel’s aunt‘s eyes as she quietly revealed.

"Leonel's mother couldn't bear the hardships and ended her life. Her body is currently at the funeral home. Mr. Fowler, I appreciate your care for Leonel over the past two years. In the future, I'll take him to Live in Eypolis. It may be a small place but it’s a good one."

She asked Leonel to bid farewell.

Grieving the loss of his mother, Leonel appeared somewhat absent-minded.

"Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler."

Alexis was reluctant to part with Leonel.

Clasping Leone's hand, she looked up at her father

Rena too gazed silently at Waylen.
