Rena was firm about this.

In a gentle tone, she clarified, "Uncle Mark, I haven't had any recent plans of dating anyone."

Mark let out a sigh and expressed, "You still cannot let go of Waylen.”

Rena shook her head firmly, denying his statement.

After a while, she glanced into the darkness of the night and murmured, "I'm unsure if my decision to return was right or wrong. It has been three years since then. Despite our deep connection in the past, I suppose we should have moved on..."

However, Waylen refused to release his hold on her.

He displayed a blatant possessive longing for her.

Rena had a strong intuition that if she married another man, Waylen would do anything he could to take her back.

Therefore, she resolved to take Eloise abroad once she had recovered.

She needed to keep her distance from Waylen!

Observing her expression, Mark deduced her thoughts, which reminded him of Waylen's actions, leaving him both amused and annoyed.

Waylen was truly a mischievous ex.

He had been the one to initiate the divorce with Rena, yet he continued to visit her relatives and families in Czanch annually.

This year, he even brought the child along. At the sight of the child, Zoey was taken aback, but soon realized the child's identity.

Zoey wept throughout the night, while Waylen remained by her side on his knees, begging for forgiveness.

Hence, Mark chose to ignore the situation, as he had no grounds to condemn Waylen anymore. After all, it was a miracle that he had saved little Alexis and raised her for three years.

For this reason, Mark believed that Waylen was not an irredeemable jerk

Mark cautiously asked, "If little Alexis were still alive, would you consider forgiving him, Rena?”

Upon hearing this, Rena entered a state of deep contemplation.

She had never imagined that there might be another possibility, another path to.

Without uttering a word, Rena simply gazed out the car window, lost in thought. Her mind drifted back to the rose garden, where her and Waylen's names were engraved on the stone monument.

All of these remained an enigma.
