Alexis proudly proclaimed once more, "My mother's name is Rena."

Arlene lovingly caressed Alexis' head, touching her heart.

Rena, not wanting to disturb the children's day more, bid farewell to Alexis, who happily walked away with her school bag. It had been the happiest day for the little girl since she started kindergarten.

Rena remained standing there for a while.

Waylen smiled and said, "Get in the car. I'll give you a ride.”

Rena also wanted to talk to him, so she agreed and opened the car's back door.

Waylen's gaze tumed somewhat profound as he stopped her.

"Can you sit in the front? It's more convenient for us to talk." He opened the passenger seat door as he spoke.

Not wanting to argue over such trivial matters, Rena got into the car and sat down.

Before long, Waylen climbed into the driver's seat next to her.

Waylen turned slightly, casting a glance at Rena’s slender and supple legs, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are you going?”

Rena softly replied, "To the First Hospital.”

Waylen stepped on the gas and continued in a gentle tone, "Shall | accompany you to visit Mom?”

Waylen's cheekiness was nothing new to Rena, who had grown accustomed to his ways.

She coughed lightly and clarified, “It's my mom, not yours."

Waylen maintained his good temper and smiled.

"Then should I call her Mrs. Gordon? But Rena... I've been calling her Mom all these years, and she never objected.”

"I object," Rena asserted, feeling annoyed,

Waylen, undeterred, focused on driving.

After a while, Rena said softly, "Waylen, I believe we should establish a new relationship.”

He understood her intentions all too well.

Waylen remained silent.
