Speechless, Rena found herself in a perplexing situation. The four of them were fine together, but Waylen insisted on taking the two children away.
Waylen returned Rena’s gaze.
His stared intently at her.
Later, he turned to Rena and declared, “I’ll take a week off. I won’t go anywhere. I’ll remain at home to assist you with childcare.”
Rena turned her face slightly.
Waylen’s smile widened as he playfully pinched her cheek.
The car gradually pulled away from the hospital.
In the back seat, Edwin’s spirits were high. He looked forward to visiting his uncle’s house.
Leonel, being quite knowledgeable, provided plenty of conversation material for Edwin.
ALL of a sudden, Edwin’s attention shifted to the window.
Lina was pushing a young girl in a wheelchair.
The girl wore a pristine white dress, and her long, straight black hair cascaded over her shoulders.
Edwin remained perplexed.
Yet, he couldn’t deny the allure of such grace and beauty.

The little girl happened to be Laura.
“What has caught your eye, Edwin?” Rena gently inquired as she tousled his hair.
Edwin snapped back to reality and shook his head.
The adults remained oblivious to Edwin’s momentary distraction and the profound effect that scene had on him.
Edwin felt a tinge of embarrassment and irritation.
Once again, it was Laura. Was she still confined to the hospital?
Alexis cradled Olivia as she said, “Edwin must’ve been ogling at a pretty girl. Our teacher mentioned that boys his age can’t resist beautiful girls, especially those in white dresses.”
A blush tinged Edwin’s cheeks.
His face reddening, he countered, “I wasn’t.”
Alexis grinned.
