Rena felt as if her legs were going to quit on her the moment she put weight on them.

But she wanted to do it with Waylen, so she said yes to his morning-sex proposal.

After they were done, Waylen still wanted more. He wrapped his arms around Rena's waist and murmured, "After we drop off our daughter at school, can you come to my office?”

Rena didn't want to.

She shook her head slightly.

"| want to go see my mother."

Eloise had been discharged from the hospital. She was still living in her old apartment because she was used to staying there, and that place held a lot of memories of her and Darren.

Waylen replied, "Let's have dinner with your mom tonight after we pick up Lexi. What do you say?"

Rena thought for a while and then agreed.

She leaned on his shoulder and whispered to him not to mess around.

Waylen also knew that he had probably been overly energetic. He nodded and gently helped Rena take a shower and change her clothes.

He also took care of Alexis after she got up.

Alexis happily picked out a floral dress for the day and brushed her brown curly hair. At the same time, she asked curiously, "Why is Mommy still in bed?"

As always, Waylen dressed neatly and put on a tie.

He picked up Alexis and took her downstairs, saying, "Mommy is tired.”

Alexis wrapped her arms around her father's neck.

Staring at Waylen with her big, bright eyes, she asked, “Aren't you tired, Daddy?”

For a moment, Waylen didn't know how to respond.

He pinched his little girl's face and answered, "No, and you'll find out why when you grow up."

He might avoid discussing certain things when educating Alexis, but he would never talk nonsense in front of her.

Alexis just nodded in understanding.

She clenched her fists and thought Leonel might know the answer. She would go ask him later.
