Even during Marcus’ nursing sessions, she politely asked him to leave, treating him like a stranger.


    One night, Waylen offered to prepare milk for Alexis.


    As he pushed the door open, he saw Rena sitting there, calm andposed. The soft glow of the light entuated her features.


    Alexis nestled in her mother’s arms, listening intently as Rena read fairy tales with a soothing voice.


    Rena’s voice was sweet and slightly hoarse, reminding Waylen of the intimate and romantic nights they once shared, when she would whisper softly under his touch.


    His Adam’s apple bobbed as these memories flooded his mind. Trying to regainposure, he gently handed Alexis the feeding bottle, allowing Rena to continue the tender moment with their daughter.


    Alexis drank more than half the bottle.


    Afterwards, her drowsiness became evident.


    Rena’s voice grew softer.


    She continued to hum a luby, lulling Alexis to sleep.

    She then headed to the next room to check on Marcus.


    The baby was sleeping soundly in the nursery, with two nannies taking turns to watch over him at night. Rena nced at her son, reassured by his peaceful slumber, before leaving the room. Waylen followed closely behind her, and in the quiet corridor, he reached out and took her hand, gently pinning her against the wall.


    “Rena, how long are you going to give me the cold shoulder?


    Itold you. Nothing happened between me and her,” he implored. ?


    Rena ced her hand on his shoulder and gently pushed him away. She continued walking towards her bedroom.


    But Waylen didn’t give up. Instead, he grabbed her wrist once more.


    “Let’s talk,” he urged.


    Rena halted, her slender figure looking frail in the dim light.


    In just a few days, she seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight.


    It was evident she no longer resembled a woman who had given birth just two months ago.
