After some thought, he asked with a hint of concern, “Won't your plan be too troublesome?"

He appeared somewhat agitated. Rena lightly touched his furrowed eyebrows and reassured him in a low voice.

"I understand what you're thinking. But Waylen, we're different from them

Waylen smiled playfully and teased, “But I find your methods almost as immoral as theirs

As he said this, he paused, thinking of Jarrod.

He couldn't help but wonder that if Aline hadn't done cruel things, neither Rena nor Jarrod would have faced such troubles.

Aline's own actions would eventually lead to her downfall.

Rena looked up at him and said softly, “When people's emotions are on the edge, they're most likely to be exposed. What I'm waiting for is the moment she breaks down. At that point..."

She would face utter defeat.

Staring into her gentle eyes, Waylen felt fortunate that she loved him deeply.

Since they were alone, he didn't want to discuss people who would dampen their mood. So, he changed the subject.

“Edwin's birthday is approaching. What do you want to gift him?"

Rena knew he cared deeply for Edwin and Cecilia.

The birthday gift was just an excuse; he wanted to find an opportunity to send something to Cecilia.

Together, they headed to the master bedroom on the second floor.

In the dressing room, there was a concealed door. Upon opening it, they could see a row of safes filled with an assortment of extravagant jewelry.

Rena carefully made her selections, occasionally seeking Waylen's advice.

“What do you think of this set of top-tier emerald jewelry? Or would the ruby pieces be more suitable for Cecilia? Waylen, are you paying attention?" Rena turned around, a hint of displeasure in her tone,

Casually leaning against the cabinet, Waylen stretched his tall frame leisurely. With a lazy smile, he said, “Isn't it Edwin's birthday? Why are you choosing jewelry for Cecilia? Don't spoil her."

Consumed by impulsive passion, he moved closer, wrapped his arms around Rena's waist, and kissed her lips.

Since Rena had become pregnant, Waylen was mindful of their physical intimacy, even with a simple kiss, trying to avoid pressing his body against her belly.

He held Rena against the cabinet, and she raised her head to meet his kiss, sharing in the tender moment.
