She caressed the little girl's head and said, "Lexi dear, you'll understand when you grow up.”

Alexis nodded, acknowledging her mother's deep love.

She also understood that if she were to cry and beg her mother, she might have her parents together again, But she knew she couldn't do that.

It didn't seem fair for her mother.

The little girl remained in a somber mood throughout the night.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Waylen returned to Duefron earlier than expected and went straight to Rena's place

Rena's apartment, spanning 180 square meters, was beautifully decorated.

When Waylen arrived, Alexis had already fallen asleep.

He gently placed his suitcase down, removed his coat, and naturally asked Rena, "Is Lexi already asleep?"

"Yes," she replied.

Waylen entered the bedroom and placed the teddy bear he brought back from Hondrau next to the little girl's pillow. When she woke up, she would see it immediately. Waylen appeared extremely gentle during this moment.

Meanwhile, Rena stood at the door, observing silently.

Waylen sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.

When he finally stood up, he noticed Rena gazing at him. He chuckled and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Before Rena could respond, he pulled out a box from his pocket and said, "This is for you!"

Rena opened it. Inside, she found not an extravagant item but a pair of exquisite pear! earrings.

It was a lovely gift that a husband would bring back for his wife from a business trip.

Rena hesitated for a moment, Waylen lowered his voice and said, "They'll suit you."

Rena carefully put the earrings away and made her way to the kitchen.

"Let me make you a cup of coffee."

Waylen sensed that Rena had something she wanted to discuss with him.

Rena prepared a cup of coffee for him. As he took a sip, she said softly, "Lexi seems a bit unhappy because of our separation."
