Chapter: 914
But in private, he was indifferent toward Rena, except when it came to sex. Nevertheless, she supposed it wasn’t all that bad. They had a married life as it should be, but there was no love or passion.
Waylen was content.
For a man, the ultimate goals were power, a beautiful wife, and adorable children. He had them all at once.
And his wife could perfectly satisfy him in bed.
Certainly, he had nothing to complain about.
However, Rena remained dissatisfied. She had experienced the best love in the world from Waylen before, but now he was back with just his physical presence. Without his affection, he wasn’t the person he used to be.

She had done her best to be considerate and gentle, setting an example of a good wife.

Korbyn was overjoyed. Despite Cecilia’s reproaches, he refused to acknowledge any preference for his grandkids. “I value all my grandchildren equally!” he insisted.
In truth, he loved Alexis the most.
However, being the boy of the family, it was Marcus who would carry on the Fowler family’s legacy someday in the future, but Korbyn would never admit to favoring one grandchild over another.
Cecilia rolled her eyes playfully.
She took good care of Rena and cradled the baby in her arms. “Look, Rena, he resembles you!”
