She kept her gaze straight ahead and said, “Let's go home."

"Okay," Waylen nodded in agreement.

It was 8 p.m. when they finally arrived at the villa.

The domestic staff had taken good care of the children.

Leonel was helping Marcus read some children's books while Alexis was dressed in a beautiful attire and playing the piano.

Young as she was, she played the instrument very well.

When they noticed the arrival of their parents, Alexis left the piano behind and jumped into Waylen's embrace with a joyful squeal. She was her father's favorite one and he never tired of being with her. He gave her a kiss on her forehead and asked, "Did you miss Daddy?"

"Yes!" she declared and insisted that Waylen should carry her. She was always trying to act like a spoiled child around her father.

“Daddy misses you too," Waylen said as he took her back to the piano.

"Come on, I want you to continue playing the piano."

Alexis was surprised.

Before she could say anything, her father kissed her again and turned his attention to his son. After playing with Marcus for a while, he carried Leonel up the stairs, intending to go to the study with him.

But Rena called after him, "Waylen!"

Waylen stopped on the staircase and turned to look at her.

“What?

I'm cultivating Leonel."

Rena knew she wouldn't be able to change his mind on this matter, so she could only smile pitifully at Leonel.

The boy's face turned red, but he quietly allowed Waylen to take him upstairs.

Meanwhile, Rena sat down to play the piano with Alexis.

But there was something weighing on her mind. She was worried about her uncle's condition and also about Cecilia.
