He set Edwin down on the ground and pinched Rena’s face.
“You’re acting like an angel, but I’m the devil now, right?” he said teasingly.
But Rena shook off his hand.
Then she turned her attention to Cecilia and sighed. There were mixed feelings in her heart.
She knew that Cecilia had signed the divorce agreement with Mark, but Cecilia knew nothing about Mark’s current condition.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRena cared a lot about the both of them.
Mark was the precious family member she cherished so much, while Cecilia, with whom she had been together for many years, was just like her own sister.
No one could wish to see them happy again as much as Rena did.
But she just couldn’t say anything to Cecilia right now.
Cecilia, on the other hand, took her hand and whispered in her ear, “Don’t be angry with me, please.”
Rena felt her heart so soft around Cecilia that she couldn’t even think of being angry.
“How can I be angry with you?” she said with a faint smile.
Seeing this happy scene playing out in front of him, Waylen caressed Rena’s back and said, “It’s still a while before dinner. You can have a little talk with her. I have something to discuss with Dad.”
“Okay,” Rena nodded.
Then Waylen and Korbyn went upstairs to the second floor.
They entered the study and Waylen closed the door behind them. Then he leaned against it and lit a cigarette.
“Dad, what happened? Is there something urgent?” he asked as he smoked.

Waylen stared at him quietly for a moment. Then he walked over and poured a cup of tea for his father.
In an effort to cheer up his father, he said, “Dad, are you still worried about Cecilia? I think she’s fine now. She won’t have to worry about getting married in the future. The worst-case scenario is that we will take care of her for the rest of her life. And we can actually afford to do that.”
But Korbyn glared at him and sneered, “You’re all so very upbeat and optimistic now, aren’t you? Why weren’t you so carefree and calm when Rena didn’t want you? Who went drunk and kept making a scene back then?”
Waylen was smart enough to know when he had been defeated. And this was one such moment. But his father’s tone suggested that there was something else that was more serious which he wanted to tell him.
He took a sip of his tea and then he asked, “Dad, what happened?”
Korbyn cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “Cecilia is pregnant.”
