In under half a day, the news of Leonel's marriage echoed throughout Duefron, reaching even Waylen. Witnessing the surprising development, Waylen, wiping his eyes in disbelief, turned to Rena. “Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or did Leonel genuinely secure a marriage with Alexis? He acted swiftly and discreetly. And now... what about that guy?

The reference was to Calvin.

Rena absorbed the news in silence, perusing a photo portraying the serene tableau of Leonel holding Evelyn, with Alexis alongside-a family picture exuding perfection.

After contemplating the image, Rena sighed with emotion. “Waylen, those destined to be together will eventually find their way back.

Calvin and Alexis were never meant to be together."

Waylen and Rena weren't oblivious; they knew conflicts were likely brewing between Leonel and Alexis.

The choice to tie the knot likely stemmed from their mutual dedication to their child.

Even with underlying tensions, they wouldn't create a scene before their parents.

After getting married, breaking up was not as casual an endeavor as when they were both single.

Despite Waylen's initial urge to call them, he held back and proposed, “Forget it. Let's extend an invitation for dinner this weekend."

In that instance, Marcus descended the stairs, also becoming aware of the news.

Sporting a subtle smile, he commented, “Leonel acts swiftly."

Marcus only provided Leonel with a simple tip, and in a matter of days, Leonel figured things out and handled the situation adeptly, exerting influence over Alexis. Marcus acknowledged Leonel's remarkable capabilities.

Waylen felt considerable irritation at Marcus's response.

At the age of 27, Marcus had yet to find himself a girlfriend; his days seemed to always be consumed by work.

Just as Waylen was about to voice his thoughts, Marcus, in a nonchalant manner, remarked, “Dad, didn't you meet Mom when you were 28? I still have a year left."

Waylen scoffed. "That's not the same! You're too reserved. I fear you won't even know how to woo a girl.”

Marcus playfully adjusted his cuff Link, chuckling.

He believed men just know what to do when encountering the right girl meant for them.

It was just that simple.
