Rena agreed, and after saying their goodbyes, she took a taxi to the Fowlers’ house.
As she arrived and entered, she discovered only Juliette at home.
Juliette informed her that Cecilia had taken Edwin out for some fun
She then led Rena to the small parlor of the master bedroom on the second floor.
Glancing at the room, Rena instantly knew that Juliette did not want anyone to eavesdrop on them.
Rena took the initiative to make coffee, and once it was ready, they sat down next to each other.
Juliette then showed Rena a photo. “Someone introduced him to me. He’s at the same age as Cecilia, a university teacher and his family runs a small business. What do you think?”
Juliette asked
Examining the photo carefully, Rena found the man good-looking and gentle in temperament. ©
She thought he seemed suitable for Cecilia.
With a worried look on her face, Juliette said, “Rena, help me persuade Cecilia. Although she agrees to meet new people, she seems very negative about it. But she can’t be single all the time. Although her father doesn’t say anything, he still hopes that she can start a family.”
Rena felt a pang of guilt and knew she had to offer her support.
Patting Rena’s hand, Juliette said, “There’s a lot going on between Cecilia and your uncle.
And none of it was your fault. | can only say that they didn’t meet in the right place at the right time.
They have a child, and if it weren’t for the conflict that can’t be solved, they would probably get back together for the sake of the child. But now…”
Rena comforted Juliette for a long time, trying to be a source of strength.
Later that afternoon, Cecilia returned with Edwin.
Rena played with Edwin, and after some time, Cecilia could guess what was going on. She called a servant to take Edwin to have some dessert and then approached Rena.
“Rena, it was my mother who asked you to come, wasn’t it?” Cecilia asked softly.
Rena sighed softly, knowing she couldn’t hide it any longer.
She took out the photo and handed it to Cecilia.
Cecilia stared at it for a long time before Rena whispered, “If you don’t want to do this, I’ll talk to your parents. If worse comes to worst, | will ask your brother to talk to them.”
