With those words, Rena ended the call. She continued chatting with Cecilia, who was curious but hesitant to ask.
It was strange that she sometimes felt fearful of Rena. To be honest, Rena was one year younger than her. Furthermore, due to her relationship with Mark, she could technically be considered Rena’s aunt. So why did she lack the courage to ask?
Cecilia despised her own timidity.
She followed Rena to the garden. The whole conservatory was adorned with blooming white roses, most likely planted by Waylen.
Cecilia felt that Waylen was quite a romantic man.

She commented casually, “Waylen has planted enough for me to take care of.”
Cecilia, who was innocent, finally understood Rena’s implied message after a while.

Rena gently patted her as a gesture of comfort.

At this moment, Waylen returned home with Alexis and Leonel after picking them up. Upon witnessing the scene, he let the children play on their own and approached the two women. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and with a smile, teased, “What’s going on? Why are you still acting like a spoiled child in front of Rena?”
Cecilia’s eyes welled up with tears, and she shyly turned her head.
Rena glanced at Waylen.
It seemed she was playfully scolding him for his comment, but there was also an intimate affection that only couples could understand.
Rena enjoyed watching him smoke, as it added a mature and alluring air to his presence.
He smiled gently and didn’t seem to mind Cecilia’s presence. He gently caressed Rena’s delicate face, a gesture he often made, Rena was visibly moved by this.
