Chapter: 1948
So she didn't notice when Alexis made several mistakes while playing.
After a while, the little girl stopped playing the piano and leaned against Rena's chest, stroking her belly in curiosity.
Later, Marcus came over and snuggled with them.
Rena accompanied her children.
It was 10 p.m. Time to go to bed.
When Rena later returned to the master bedroom, she didn't see Waylen there. So she went to the study to look for him.
The door of the study was half closed and a faint yellow light spilled out from the room.
Waylen was standing by the window, smoking. He had opened the window, so the smell of smoke inside the study wasn't too strong.
Rena stood outside for a while and then decided to walk in.
Still thinking about Cecilia's pregnancy, Waylen didn't notice Rena's presence until a pair of soft hands hugged him from behind.
“Have the children all gone to bed?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Rena nodded.
Then she inquired about how his coaching of Leonel was going.
"He's really a smart child," Waylen shrugged.
After a while, he murmured absentmindedly, "What a pity!"
Rena was still holding him in her arms. She inhaled his scent and asked softly, “Waylen, you have something on your mind, don't you?
Are you worried about Uncle Mark's health?"
Waylen didn't answer the question. He simply put out the cigarette in his hand.
After a while, he turned around and gently cradled Rena in his arms.
Rena rested her head against Waylen's chest.
