“Well, I. don't think I'm eloquent enough," Waylen teased sarcastically.

"But let me lay this clear to you. Rena appreciates mature men. You, on the other hand, are just a little boy. Go on and practice some more."

Albert and Waylen continued their tit-for-tat, their words resembling swords clashing against each other.

Cecilia, who was listening to the entire exchange, was speechless.

After a while, Mark came back ahead of time alongside Rena and Rena's children.

Mark was holding Alexis in his arms. He liked Alexis dearly.

Alexis' tender face was leaning on Mark's shoulder. From time to time, she would call him in an affectionate tone.

Mark held Alexis' hand and gave it a weak squeeze.

When approaching Albert and Waylen, Mark looked around and breathed in the atmosphere.

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"

The moment Albert saw Mark, he straightened his back and immediately stopped arguing with Waylen. He turned to Mark and performed a respectful bow.

"Mr. Evans," he greeted.

Mark shot a glance at Cecilia, prompting her to move closer to him.

At this time, Zoey and Kyle came back from their walk.

Being the host, Mark invited Kyle and Waylen to have a chat in the tearoom. As for Albert, he wasn't even qualified to sit. Albert just stood by and listened to their conversation.

Cecilia watched them leave and nudged Rena.

“Mark looks much senior to Waylen," she whispered to Rena.

Rena was still pregnant. She placed her hand atop her belly and smiled.

"What? You think Mark is too old? I thought you like him deeply all these years."

Cecilia was just joking. She didn't dwell on this topic anymore.
