Nestled in Rena's embrace, Alexis wore a joyful expression. However, she seemed oblivious to the instructions Rena imparted.

Rena couldn't stifle Alexis' Learning progress.

Thus, Rena adopted a stern demeanor and requested Alexis to demonstrate what had just been taught.

Alexis readily agreed

She extended her slender fingers and began to play the piano...

Rena was taken aback.

The child possessed an innate talent that surpassed Rena's wildest imagination. She proved to be the finest student Rena had ever encountered, surpassing even Rena's own childhood proficiency.

As Rena marveled at the sight before her, Alexis, her brown curls bouncing, inquired obediently, “Miss Gordon, is this how it should be played?"

Miss Gordon...

Somehow, Rena's thoughts drifted to Waylen.

During their early acquaintance, he would jokingly refer to her as Miss

Gordon...

Rena dismissed the notion as mere overthinking.

How could she possibly entertain the idea that the Lexi standing before her had any connection to Waylen? Their child had already...

Rena dared not delve further into such musings. Instead, she cradled

Alexis in her arms and proceeded to teach her the rudiments of finger placement.

Following a single Lesson, Alexis appeared content. Though learning the piano might prove tedious, it propelled her closer to her ultimate goal.

Rena guided Alexis out of the piano room, entrusting her into the care of the servant.

Truth be told, Rena found it difficult to avert her gaze from the little girl.

"Lexi, see you next Friday."

Alexis beamed with satisfaction.

Behaving impeccably, she instructed the servant to accompany her downstairs.
