Chapter: 914
“Waylen!"
In the dimly lit night, within the confines of an aged dwelling nestled in a narrow alley, a profound scene unfolded.
Waylen's gaze fixated upon his sister, whom he had lavished with affection throughout the years, observing her unadorned attire.
Subsequently, his attention shifted to the timeworn apartment that stood in the background.
A furrow formed upon his brow, his fingers holding the cigarette exhibiting a slight tremor, betraying his inner turmoil.
Taking a deep inhalation from his cigarette, he ventured forth, crossing the threshold while surveying the surroundings with intent.
“Where might the child be?" he queried.
Startled, she questioned, her voice trembling, "Did Rena divulge this to you?"
Waylen retorted with irritation, "Do you believe she would assist you in concealing the truth, allowing you to persist in this destitute abode? Tell me, who is the child's father?"
At present, the identity of the child's progenitor eluded him.
Cecilia, however, denied him entry into the chamber.
Waylen extinguished his cigarette, expelling the final remnants of smoke, and demanded, "Tell me."
Regardless of the father's identity, he vowed to confront the man vehemently!
Cecilia stood resolute before the door, her plea uttered in a hushed tone, “Edwin and I shall manage just fine! I possess the means to provide for him independently. Spare me _ from inquiries!"
A crimson hue tinted Waylen's eyes.
A mere breath away from her, he reached out to shield her, ushering them both into the bedroom.
The modest sleeping quarters spanned an area of scarcely 10 square meters.
Save for the antiquated bed, a diminutive desk adorned with an array of magazines was the sole furnishing.
Waylen approached, his gaze fixed upon those periodicals, featuring Cecilia's countenance upon their covers!
He swallowed hard and proceeded toward the aged bed.
The young boy slumbered soundly, his exquisite visage adorned with brown, cropped tresses.
Upon beholding the familiar features and matching hair color, Waylen was struck by a realization, his eyes ablaze with fury!
