He whispered into her ear, “Rena, haven’t you noticed? Alexis has never been jealous because of Marcus, She treats Marcus like a little toy, and Marcus is a boy, so she doesn’t feel possessive. But the baby in your belly is different. It’s a little girl, just Like Alexis. Do you think Alexis will be jealous because of the baby when she’s born?”
The new baby would be smaller and more delicate than Alexis, and Alexis would definitely become jealous. Waylen had a special affection for Alexis, and Rena could sense it,
She had risked her life to give birth to Alexis back then, and Alexis had spent two years in the lab.
Parents didn’t always treat their children equally; they often favored someone over the others.

She didn’t get angry but instead copied Waylen’s actions, gently stroking her belly just as he did, and said softly, “Waylen, you’re great with children. You should also teach this baby in the future.”
Waylen agreed gently.
Rena changed the topic and discussed Cecilia’s dowry with him.
Waylen sat down with her and said with a smile, “They say a sister-in-law is like a mother. That’s true, Although my mother is still here, you’re showing a lot of concern for Cecilia.”
He said this while gently rubbing Rena‘s belly.
Rena blushed but argued.
“Your parents will prepare a gift for Cecilia. But as her brother and sister-in-law, we should give Cecilia something significant.”
Waylen looked at Rena affectionately.
He gazed at her for a long time, gently kissed her lips, and whispered, “Rena, thank you for being so good to Cecilia and Edwin.”

“Edwin is my uncle’s son,” Rena replied, pretending not to care.
Waylen played with her long hair and said, “I know. You’d still be good to Cecilia even if Edwin weren’t your uncle’s child.”
Waylen could tell that she had a great fondness for Cecilia. It might be because of her love for him.
Waylen felt that having this relationship for the rest of his life was enough for him.
As they were talking, there was a knock at the door. It was Mark.
Waylen had locked the door, so he went to open it. Mark had already put on his coat, looking as though he was about to leave.
Waylen was surprised, “Mark, are you heading back to Czanch?”
Mark confirmed this, saying, “I came here temporarily. I have some matters to attend to there, but it won’t take long. I’ll have everything sorted out soon.”
