    Rena felt a tinge of unease.


    Her mind wandered during dinner, but when facing Alexis, she emanated utmost tenderness.


    At bedtime, she leaned against the headboard, cradling Alexis in her arms and read the fairy tale of Cindere with gentle cadence.


    Half-asleep, Alexis murmured, “Dad said he was the prince of mom when he read thisst time.”


    Rena suppressed a slight cough, taken aback by Waylen’s audacity.


    Alexis sighed with contentment. “In the end, the prince and the princess get married.”


    Rena gazed at Alexis‘ innocent face, showering her with affectionate kisses.


    As Alexis drifted into a peaceful slumber, her soft snores filled the room.


    In the tranquil ambiance, Rena presumed that Alexis was dozing off. Setting aside the fairy tale book, she prepared to settle down herself. However, to her surprise, Alexis spoke up again.


    “What about dad and mom?”


    Cradling Alexis tenderly, Rena responded with gentle affection, “Dad and mom share a special bond.”


    Feeling the warmth of Rena’s embrace, Alexis drew nearer.


    At that very moment, Waylen entered the room, holding a ss of milk. He had overheard their conversation and cast a faint smile at Rena.


    A slight blush tinted Rena’s cheeks as she lifted Alexis and urged, “Have some milk before you sleep.”


    However, Alexis was too drowsy toply and refused to drink.


    Seated at the edge of the bed, Waylen nted a tender kiss on their daughter’s cheek and hoarsely advised, “Let her rest. You have the milk.”


    Rena also declined the offer.


    Waylen’s eyes sparkled, and he huskily suggested, “What if I offer you something else to drink?”


    Contemting the idea, Rena eventually epted the milk, sipping it slowly.


    In the dim golden glow, her silhouette was adorned in a silk nightdress, and her long brown hair cascaded gracefully over her shoulders.


    A glimpse of delicate skin adorned her corbone.


    Waylen couldn’t help but admire her for a lingering moment.
