“Waylen?" Cecilia gazed up at him with curiosity.

Waylen affectionately ruffled her hair and said tenderly, “When will you be leaving? I'll arrange for my private plane to transport you. And please, don't be too headstrong with that family. If you encounter any difficulties, simply return and inform both me and Rena, alright?"

Cecilia turned her gaze towards the car.

Rena lowered the window and peered at her with warmth in her eyes.

Tears welled up in Cecilia's eyes as she responded, “We'll be departing several days later. Waylen, I understand what you mean."

Waylen lovingly caressed her hair once more and urged, “Alright, head inside, It's quite chilly out here."

Cecilia spun around and scurried towards the mansion,

Waylen re-entered the car and instructed Rena to roll up the window.

While he started the vehicle, he commented, "Cecilia is getting married so soon. I can still vividly recall her as a little girl.”

His sentiments were tinged with a sense of unease.

Cecilia served as a reminder of Alexis, who was still a little girl.

Furthermore, Rena's unborn baby would soon grow into a little girl.

Waylen experienced a whirlwind of emotions—joy at the prospect of having daughters, yet a sense of trepidation at the thought of other men vying for their affections.

Unaware of Waylen's complex emotions, Rena continued to mull over Aline's situation.

At that very moment, Aline phoned her, and Rena answered without hesitation.

Aline remained silent on the other end of the line for a while before speaking.

“Vera refuses to forgive me, as do you, Rena? Apart from my involvement with Harold, I haven't offended you in any way.

Within the dimly lit car, Rena's expression remained stoic as she held the phone.

Her response carried a gentle tone.

“Aline, you should comprehend that my current concern is not personal affection, but rather social status. It may be possible for us to repair our relationship, but it will necessitate a demonstration of your sincerity."

Aline paused, comprehending Rena's implied message.

Rena wanted her to become her ally.
