Chapter: 1478
Dinner was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.
After the meal, Korbyn called his son to the study to discuss business matters, while Juliette led the kids to roast biscuits.
With some free time on her hands, Rena decided to visit Cecilia's bedroom.
She found Cecilia sitting in front of the dressing table, looking Lost in thought.
Rena crept in and took the object Cecilia held in her hand, which turned out to be a girlish diamond ring.
She knew that it was a present from her uncle.
With a smile, she asked, “Have you made a decision?"
Cecilia shook her head, uncertain.
Knowing they shared a close bond, she confided, "Rena, I love him. But the pain I endured over the past few years was real. If I directly accept him now, he will think that he can treat us casually. I don't want this to happen.”
Rena put the ring back gently and held Cecilia in her embrace, patting her on the shoulder.
“Both your brother and I hope you can be happy," she said softly.
As for whether she would go back to Mark or not, Rena sensed that Cecilia already knew what she should do.
Just then, Waylen finished talking to his father and came to find Rena.
He saw his sister in tears. Standing at the door, he lit a cigarette.
Taking a drag, he asked nonchalantly, “Are you sad for that old man again?"
“Waylen!" Rena's voice quivered as she bit her lip.
Waylen took another puff and exhaled the smoke slowly, smiling.
“You and your uncle are completely different. He's cursed me so many times, but you never blamed him.”
Hearing this, Rena didn't say anything more.
Fearing it might affect their relationship, Cecilia quickly assured them that she was fine.
Waylen Looked at her, then wrapped his arm around Rena's shoulder and said gently, "Well, it's time to go home. The kids are having fun Cecilia, you and Edwin can stay here."
Cecilia nodded, watching them leave.
