Cecilia rushed over to Waylen and latched onto his arm.
The moment Cecilia saw her elder brother in the Evans family’s house, she burst into joy.
Waylen held Cecilia in his arms and hugged her tight. Then, he shot a look at Albert and sneered, “You just said you wanted to be the other man, right?”
Albert remained silent, his eyes fixed on Waylen the entire time.

Waylen had an air of regality about him that made him stand out from the rest.
After being quiet for a while, Albert twitched his mouth and asked, “What?
Are you scared or something?”
Waylen was unfazed by Albert’s cocky attitude. He simply took out a cigarette and lit it before taking a long drag.
Slowly, his eyes narrowed at Albert as he let out an arrogant chuckle.
“Why would I be scared? I’m afraid Rena won’t be pleased to hear that. Apart from valuing too much on virtue, she’s perfect in every way.”
Albert gnashed his teeth for a second before recovering his cool.
“Mr. Fowler, I heard you used to be a lawyer before. That explains why you’re so sharp-tongued.”
“Well, I don’t think I’m eloquent enough,” Waylen teased sarcastically.
“But let me lay this clear to you. Rena appreciates mature men. You, on the other hand, are just a little boy. Go on and practice some more.”
Albert and Waylen continued their tit-for-tat, their words resembling swords clashing against each other.

After a while, Mark came back ahead of time alongside Rena and Rena’s children.
Mark was holding Alexis in his arms. He liked Alexis dearly.
Alexis’ tender face was leaning on Mark’s shoulder. From time to time, she would call him in an affectionate tone.
Mark held Alexis’ hand and gave it a weak squeeze.
When approaching Albert and Waylen, Mark looked around and breathed in the atmosphere.
“It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?”
The moment Albert saw Mark, he straightened his back and immediately stopped arguing with Waylen. He turned to Mark and performed a respectful bow.
