Eloise had also arrived. She wrapped a woolen shawl around Rena's neck and said, "You guys keep talking. I'll keep Zoey company."

Rena nodded and replied, “Okay.” Rena's pregnancy made her skin glow, adding to her charm.

Cecilia was momentarily stunned by Rena. Cecilia recalled the days when Edwin was still in her belly. She still remembered vividly she looked somewhat weary during her pregnancy. Comparing herself then and Rena now made her feel a bit jealous.

After a while, Rena dismissed the kids to have some fun. Leonel was mature at his age. Therefore, Rena entrusted him with the task of taking care of other kids while having fun with them.

Then, Rena and Cecilia went to the yard and had a little stroll.

With a French window, Rena‘s room was warm and brightly lit.

Cecilia helped Rena sit down and took off Rena's coat.

"Slow down and take care."

Rena shot a glance at Cecilia from the corner of her eye and smirked.

“Well, where's my special present?"

Cecilia hurriedly shushed Rena.

“Rena, don't say that again," she said while pouring Rena a glass of water.

“My brother will tease me about it!"

Rena just smiled.

“Alright. Your wedding is approaching. Nervous?

Have you prepared anything for it?"

Cecilia replied with a nod.

Seeing Cecilia's shy look, Rena took out a gift and handed it to her.

"This is for you, bride-to-be."

Cecilia accepted it readily. As soon as she saw what was inside, her face lit up.
