She still addressed Juliette as "Mom" and graciously poured a cup of tea for her. Rena's countenance exuded warmth as she modestly lowered her head.

Juliette spoke softly, saying, “I've contemplated visiting you lately, but I feared intruding upon your lives. Rena... As a mother, it is only natural for me to hope that you can forgive Waylen. He did err in the past. However, if your anger still lingers, I implore you to teach him a valuable lesson and urge him to shed his arrogance."

Juliette then tenderly clasped Rena's hand.

How could Rena resist such tenderness?

She raised her head and gazed at Juliette...

Just then, Waylen approached. He positioned himself beside Rena, his hand resting gently upon her shoulder and softly remarked, “It's time for Lunch."

Rena nodded in agreement.

Juliette delighted in witnessing their harmonious interaction, but her mind was burdened by a lingering concern.

Although Cecilia occasionally made phone calls home, she never returned in person.

During the afternoon, Alexis remained at the mansion.

Rena had arranged to meet Vera for afternoon tea. Waylen, on the other hand, needed to attend to company matters. He drove Rena to her appointment before heading to the office.

While in the car, he turned his head and inquired, “Are you feeling tired?"

Rena smiled and replied, “Are you referring to taking care of Alexis?"

Waylen tenderly caressed his seat belt, opting to remain silent.

He feared that if Rena were to encounter Elvira today, it might resurrect unpleasant memories.

He yearned to demonstrate his loyalty to Rena, yet it seemed that she remained indifferent.

Waylen had never been plagued by such apprehension before.

He longed to cherish her but he couldn't discern if she would appreciate it or not.

Rena softly closed her eyes and uttered, “She's incredibly adorable."

Thus, how could Rena possibly be fatigued?

She was willing to do anything for Alexis.

Waylen ceased his inquiries and proceeded to drive Rena to the cafe.
