Chapter 260
Chapter 260 Are You Still Mad At Me
As the night thickened, Waylen returned home around nine o’clock.
Rena was in the middle of playing the piano with Alexis, who sat elegantly in a delicate dress, displaying remarkable skill.
Waylen took off his coat and tossed it on the sofa, leaning against Rena with a soft inquiry, “She has just been discharged from the hospital. Why don’t you let her rest for a few more days?”
Waylen loved his daughter, and he couldn’t bear the thought of blaming Rena.
With a faint smile, Rena murmured, “She wants to play by herself.”
Detecting the faint smell of alcohol on him, she whispered, “Did you attend a social gathering?”
Waylen smiled gently, caressing her back, and said in a hoarse voice, “Cook a bowl of noodles for
me, please? I haven’t had anything tonight, except for wine.”
Rena looked worried, rendered speechless by the revelation.
She quickly went to the kitchen to prepare noodles with soup for him, but as she took a couple of
steps, he pulled her close, pressing his nose against hers.
“Yes, there were young girls, but I turned them all down. Rena… I won’t do anything to upset you!”
Blushing, Rena shyly bit her red lips.
“I never asked you to report anything!”
“But I want to report it to you,” Waylen said affectionately.
Feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of his gaze, Rena signaled with her eyes for him to restrain
himself since Alexis was present.
Waylen finally let her go and moved to sit next to Alexis, affectionately stroking her curly hair.
“Why has our Lexi suddenly become so hardworking?”
Alexis paused her piano playing and climbed onto Waylen’s lap, kissing his cheek before speaking
“Today at kindergarten, Maura played the piano, and Leonel was watching her!”
Waylen couldn’t help but laugh. His little daughter was already experiencing jealousy.
Her classmate Maura Lewis had been playing the piano for a year and was better than Alexis.
Holding Alexis on his lap, Waylen said, “So we need to practice even harder than usual, and then
you will play even better than Maura.”
Blushing, Alexis’ chubby fingers slipped on the keys.

After a moment’s thought, she emphasized in a childish voice, “But I want to be a lawyer when I grow up!”
Waylen kissed her cheek and said, “That’s okay! Being a lawyer is your career when you grow up. For now, you can just practice the piano well!”
His encouraging words offered Alexis a glimmer of hope.
She clenched her small fists, determined to practice the piano not just for Leonel.
While they were conversing, Rena placed the bowl of noodles on the table.
Waylen once again touched Alexis’ head and asked her to continue playing the piano. Rena finally
had a chance to talk to him after Alexis went to take a shower in the evening.
The sound of running water and Alexis singing came from the bathroom while Rena tidied up the bedroom.
Waylen sat on the sofa, watching her back, his heart racing.
Rena was truly back, taking care of the family like a mother and wife. He enjoyed having her stay with him like this.
He asked in a low voice, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Holding Alexis’ pajamas, Rena turned around and lowered her voice. “I saw it. Waylen… Alexis is still a child. You really don’t have to decide her future so early.”
Waylen took out a cigarette from his pocket and toyed with it between his fingers without lighting
He reached out his hand to her, and after some hesitation, Rena took it and sat down beside him,
chastising him, “Waylen!”
Waylen caressed her face and explained softly, “Today I arranged an appointment to play golf with Leonel’s father and discuss a project. I’m going to invest 200 million in his company.”
Rena disagreed with his decision and shook her head. “Money can’t buy love.”
He smiled at her and said, “But money can buy Alexis’ safety.”
Alexis’ unique condition required a human blood bank like Leonel. It didn’t matter if their family
backgrounds matched or not; what mattered was that he had what she needed.
Moreover, that child was excellent and ambitious.
His intuition told him to make this decision.
Although Rena understood the considerable thought he put into Alexis’ well-being, she was still
unsatisfied with his decision. However, she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was bothering her.
Waylen wrapped his arm around her waist and said gently, “Rena, I know you’re unhappy, so…
Aren’t we discussing it?”
She chuckled with frustration. “Are you really discussing it with me? You’ve already made up your
mind!”
He looked at her for a moment and then smiled.
“Yes, I’ve made up my mind. Now we just wait for Mrs. Fowler’s agreement.”

He was being shameless. Rena chose to leave it be.
At that moment, Alexis emerged from the bathroom, her tiny body wrapped in a towel.
Rena’s anger dissipated the moment she saw her.
She gently wiped Alexis’ body with a fresh towel and helped her into her cute pajamas.
Waylen went downstairs and poured a glass of milk for Alexis.
When he returned upstairs, he saw Rena had changed into her comfy pajamas and was getting ready to sleep with Alexis. With a gentle smile, he handed the glass of milk to the little girl. “Lexi baby, tonight you will sleep with both mom and dad!”
Rena was left speechless by his words.
Little Alexis had already hung on her father’s body, eager to go to sleep with both her parents.
With a playful smile, Waylen carried Alexis toward the master bedroom. After taking a few steps, he deliberately turned around and looked at Rena. “Why don’t you come with us?”
Hesitating, Rena eventually followed them.
The master bedroom was illuminated by dim but warm beams of light.
Waylen placed little Alexis on the bed and examined her leg, which was covered in scabs from
her injury. He felt sorry for her and couldn’t help but kiss her scabs gently.
Rena watched him quietly.
In fact, he was entirely different from his former self. He might still enjoy making shameless
remarks and have difficulty restraining himself during lovemaking, but he had become a good
father.
With this realization, Rena didn’t notice that Waylen was staring at her.
His eyes were filled with tenderness as he held her hand and whispered, “Are you still angry with
me?”
Rena gently scratched his palm with her slender fingers.
“I’m not angry, for the time being.”
“Well, should I invite Mr. Douglas and his family for dinner?”
Rena wanted to take back her words.
In the darkness, Waylen chuckled. “Rena, if you’re still angry, come and punish me!”
Rena ignored his remark and closed her eyes to sleep.
How shameless he was!
Yet, in the middle of the night, Waylen quietly rolled over and claimed her completely.
Rena resisted with a soft cry. “Not here! Alexis will wake up! Let’s go to the guest bedroom!”
Waylen picked her up and kissed her while walking.
When they reached the guest bedroom, Rena’s appearance was already disheveled…
After their lovemaking, she leaned against his shoulder, nearly falling asleep from exhaustion.
She muttered vaguely, “Waylen, why do you think about this all day long?”

He had been lying on his back, but now he turned to face her, looking at her delicate features under the dim light. He whispered, “Rena, I’m 33 years old now. Can you calculate how much time we’ve truly spent together in the past five years? I’ve dedicated my prime to you.”
Rena touched his face and asked, “And whose fault is it?”
Perhaps during the late hours, all humans become soft-hearted, allowing them to confide their secrets without reservations.
“It’s my fault!” Waylen apologized in a hoarse voice.
“Rena, don’t be mad at me anymore! From now on, I will treat you well!”
Unable to resist, he pulled her closer, holding her tightly in his arms.
He had lost her for too long.
His constant desire to be intimate with her wasn’t solely due to his physical needs. It was also a
desperate attempt to prove that she still belonged to him..
The night was still young….
Waylen rolled over and claimed her once again.
