No matter how much Waylen disliked Leonel for what he had done to his daughter, he was very restrained and rational when it came to business. For the next ten minutes, they talked solely about business.

After that, Waylen focused on playing with Cordelia.

A moment later, a maid brought a baby cot, and Cordelia was put on it, and she lay there comfortably with a full belly.

“She looks great," Waylen said to Alexis, his eyes fixed lovingly on Cordelia. “Don't worry. I'll look after her. You should go downstairs and have a good chat with your mother. She's missed you so much."

Alexis felt her nose twitch when she heard this. For crying out loud, how could she forget how much her mother missed her?

"Okay. Let me go see mom," she murmured and left the room.

After Alexis' exit, the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward. In fact, Leonel was no longer relaxed.

"Thank you for taking care of Alexis and the baby," Waylen said to him with a smile.

Leonel wanted to respond, but a lump had suddenly developed in his throat.

After asking the domestic staff where her mother went, Alexis finally found Rena.

She was setting up the parlor. Perhaps that was where they were going to have lunch. Rena was probably doing this because the house had not been very lively for a long time, so there had been no need to do any arrangement until now. As she was putting some blue roses in a vase, she suddenly became sad and absent-minded.

It was just at this point that Alexis found her.

She immediately figured out the reason why her mother was Like this.

She came behind her and gave her a gentle hug. "Mom, don't worry about me. I'm fine. In fact, I've been doing pretty well lately. I've even gained some weight. Can't you see?"

This was still not enough to make Rena feel better, but she didn't want to cause her daughter to worry too much.

So she dropped everything, sat Alexis down and proceeded to ask her about how her life had been of recent.

When Waylen was still at the hospital, Leonel used to visit every other day and provide feedback to Rena about Alexis, but still, Rena was very worried about her daughter.

"I'm really fine," Alexis assured her. "He didn't force me to do anything."

This assurance made Rena feel better.

After hesitating for moment, she asked her, "Alexis, what are your plans for after next month?"
