"Who's there?" Waylen pretended he didn't see Alexis.

“Hush, daddy."

Alexis tiptoed in quietly, urging Waylen to be quiet.

Then, she bent down and got under Waylen's desk.

When Waylen extended his legs, she naturally settled on his lap.

She even reached out her tender hands to hug his waist as if she were Harry Potter riding the broomstick.

Alexis whispered softly, "I'm playing hide and seek with Leonel and Marcus. Daddy, please don't tell them I'm here, okay?"

Her chubby and tender face bore a striking resemblance to Rena.

Whenever Waylen looked at her, happiness overwhelmed him.

He reached out to caress her curly brown hair and gently said,

“Don't worry, I won't tell them."

Alexis hugged Waylen tightly, displaying her love and dependence on her beloved father.

If it weren't for work or the fact that Alexis was playing hide and seek, Waylen would want nothing more than to hold her in his arms and shower her with love.

He continued to work while Alexis remained motionless.

Perhaps Waylen's legs were warm and steady, causing Alexis to slowly close her eyes and fall asleep.

Waylen then heard the sound of approaching footsteps outside the door.

It sounded as if someone was pacing back and forth.

Waylen glanced at the door and found Leonel and Marcus who were currently looking for Alexis.

Waylen looked down at the sleeping Alexis and decided to cover her with a blanket.

At this moment, Marcus stumbled to the door and pointed inside, calling for Alexis, “Alexis!”

Leonel held Marcus’ chubby hand, knowing that Waylen was working and didn't want to disturb him.

Waylen lifted his gaze to stare at Marcus, who hadn't known how to read the room, and admired Leonel for the perceptiveness he possessed at this young age.
