He would have preferred her to slap him across the face.

In such an atmosphere, it was inappropriate for him to attempt to seduce her once more, so he had to concede first.

"Let's discuss it later. For now, let's focus on keeping Alexis company. By the way, she has monthly check-ups for her autism. Let's go together next time.”

Rena didn't decline his suggestion.

She was Alexis' mother. When she entered this villa last night, she understood the consequences of her choice.

But she had no regrets.

Rena had her own self-serving motive as well. She cautiously expressed, "Waylen, I. I don't plan on getting married. If you have thoughts of remarrying, why not allow me to care for Alexis? 1 promise 1 won't travel abroad. You can see her whenever you wish.”

Daddy Kissed...

Waylen erupted in laughter, his face contorted with anger.

Retuming to the seat opposite Rena, he reached for the now cold coffee, raising it to his lips as he savored each sip with deliberate slowness

Upon draining the last drop, he disdainfully placed the empty cup back on the table and curled his lip in contempt.

“And so, I frequently visit your abode to spend time with our child, do I? Should bad weather strike, may I find shelter within your walls? Rena... You may possess self-control but I fear I lack such restraint.

Should news of the GEO of Exceed Group engaging in a prolonged affair with his former spouse become public, it will undoubtedly tarnish my reputation and jeopardize my future marriage.”

His words dripped with flirtation, igniting a furious rage within Rena.

Damn it!

She no longer wished to engage in conversation with him. They were destined never to reach an agreement.

Just then, the clock chimed seven times, piercing the air,

It was seven in the morning

Waylen glanced at his timepiece and advised Rena, "Go and freshen up; change your attire. We can escort Alexis to school together later.”

His countenance softened slightly.

"she will be overjoyed, no doubt.”

Rena complied, her gentleness stemming from her deep concern for her child.
