Chapter 2817 She then turned to Alexis. “I''m transferring the restaurant into your name. Think of it as a gift for Evelyn from me.” Alexis, ncing up from a magazine, replied, “Mom, Evelyn''s just a child. Besides, kids’ interests change fast.” Rena was about to respond when Waylen interjected, “It''s a small gift from your mom. Just ept it." He seemed a bit awkward.


    Alexis understood. Her father was safeguarding her mother’s feelings, wary of her potential disappointment.


    She approached Waylen, grasping his arm as she had in her childhood, and said, “Okay, I''l ept it."

    “I have a team-building eventing up. I''l get some time away then,” he mentioned casually.


    Rena let out a soft sigh.


    Marcus wasn''t one to easily fall in love. Hisst infatuation with his secretary had caused quite a stir.


    Rena wondered how long it might be before Marcus found love again.


    As they conversed, the sound of a car engine echoed from the driveway. Alexis surmised that Leonel had arrived from work.
