He was well aware of Alexis’ longing for her mother's milk.

Having spent the first two years of her life in the sterile lab environment, she hadn't tasted much milk, let alone a mother's nourishing natural kind. The only thing she had was the bland, artificial nutritional fluid provided during those years.

The thought softened Waylen's expression, making it even gentler than the serene night outside.

Meanwhile, Alexis kept babbling away.

Waylen scooped her up and headed towards the nursery, and Alexis wrapped her arms around Waylen's neck.

His Alexis was undeniably adorable.

Marcus was not in the room when he entered the nursery, and Rena was still nursing Elva.

Elva's hair was gently tousled, and her dark eyes sparkled brightly.

She was clinging to her mother's breast.

Upon noticing her father's arrival, Elva loosened her hold and grinned up at him.

Of course, Waylen was also fond of her.

He gently settled Alexis in Rena's arms and picked up Elva, stating, "I'll change her diaper."

Rena didn't question his motives.

Alexis was too embarrassed to drink, and as Waylen observed Alexis' he leaned close to Rena's ear and "Don't let hesitation, whispered, it go to waste."

Rena grasped his underlying message.

A flush of embarrassment colored Rena's cheeks. After all, Alexis was no longer a baby.

“Waylen!" she couldn't help but exclaim softly.

Waylen simply turned away, feigning indifference, and changed Elva's diaper at a deliberate pace. In the end, as Rena embraced her older child in her lap, she had no choice but to let Alexis nurse.

Rena actually felt a bit embarrassed.

After soothing the children, they returned to the master bedroom.
