“Is it delicious?” Rena beamed and stroked his head.
“It is.”

In his eyes, they were treating the little boy named Leonel like the future son-in-law of the Fowler family.
But they were just children!
The idea didn’t sit well with him. He decided he must speak with Rena later.
In the middle of the night, when the children were finally asleep, Waylen knocked on the door of the children’s bedroom and then walked in. “Do you have a second? | have something to talk to you about. It’s Alexis.”
Rena was willing to talk to him about Alexis.
She looked down at Alexis who was lying next to her and said softly without looking back, “I’ll see you later in you room.”

Rena lowered her eyes and prompted, “Why bother asking when you already know?”
Silence fell.
Waylen stared at Rena intently.
As always, she looked lovely and gentle in her pink dress, but what she’d done with Leonel wasn’t quite what a kind woman would’ve done.
