She remarked nonchalantly. How could he fail to comprehend?

Truthfully, Rena had yet to surrender her heart to him. Perhaps she was too disheartened to believe that he could truly bring her happiness.

"Close your eyes." He kissed her brows and eyelids, captivated by her indescribable beauty.

Rena smiled and shut her eyes.

Now that they were heading towards marriage and their families had met, there was no need for her to maintain such aloofness. Doing so would only make her appear affected.

Waylen produced a delicate necklace, its pendant a resplendent diamond ring.

A colossal 52-carat diamond ring, to be precise.

As Rena opened her eyes, she discovered a necklace gracing her fair and tender neck. With a gentle touch, she could discern its nature.

“Do you like it?"

Waylen leaned in, his face brushing against hers.

"Mrs. Fowler, I'1L adorn you with it at our wedding."

Rena nestled against him.

Waylen perceived her contentment and couldn't resist planting a kiss on her lips.

This kiss was profoundly moving.

Perhaps due to their impending parenthood, there was an added layer of tenderness between them.

Rena's cheeks flushed crimson.

With a faint smile adorning his face, Waylen tenderly caressed Rena's delicate cheek with one hand, playfully teasing her.

It was a moment of intimate closeness that they hadn't experienced before, yet it felt remarkably pleasant.

They registered their marriage in the charming city of Czanch.

In the presence of both families' esteemed elders, they solemnized their union as a legally recognized couple. A grand banquet was held that evening at the Evans’ residence.

Once the festivities concluded, Korbyn departed with his wife and daughter, while Waylen remained by Rena's side for a few more days before returning to Duefron.

Upon their return to Duefron, Rena moved into Waylen's exquisite villa.
