Chapter: 1981
Despite his grumbling, his eyes and demeanor were gentle as he changed the baby's diaper with utmost care.
He held the baby's tiny bottom in his hand and put on a fresh diaper adorned with small pink flowers.
Waylen had earlier gone with Alexis to the supermarket and picked out these ones.
Rena tidied herself as she gazed at Waylen in admiration.
At that moment, he was truly a wonderful husband.
Perhaps it was the intensity of her gaze that prompted Waylen to look up. When their eyes met, Rena turned away shyly. He chuckled at her action.
“Mrs. Fowler, you have your moments of shyness, I see."
Just moments ago, Rena adored him, but now she found him really annoying.
Waylen finished changing Elva's diaper and instead of engaging in another round of intimacy with Rena, he scooped up the baby, cradled her in his arms, and began to soothe and talk to her.
Elva giggled and kicked her little legs in delight.
Waylen planted a gentle kiss on Elva's forehead.
He whispered, "You have that sweet milky scent. It's delightful."
Rena couldn't resist joining in to caress the baby.
The atmosphere was so romantic that it was the perfect time for private conversations between a couple.
Amidst his playful interaction with the baby, Waylen said, "I met Mark's attending doctor this morning. The situation is a bit complicated."
Rena's heart ached as she asked, "Is there a chance for him to recover?"
"It's uncertain," Waylen replied.
"It's a fifty-fifty chance."
After uttering those words, he glanced at his wife's tear-filled eyes and gently patted her.
"Please don't cry." I'll figure something out.
