Right at that moment, a servant knocked on the door, announcing, “Mr. Flower, Miss Fowler has returned!”
Waylen looked down at his wife, speaking in a low tone, saying, “I’ll go have a chat with Alexis; you take some rest.”
Rena seemed slightly uneasy.
Waylen’s fixation on their children’s marriages worried her, prompting her to add, “Marriage is a momentous decision. Let Alexis make her own choice!
Leonel is indeed a good kid, but still, it’s their decision to make.”
Waylen Fowler was now receptive to listening.
He gently caressed her shoulder. “I’m going downstairs.”
He dressed in her presence, theatrically zipping up his trousers, eliciting a blush from Rena.
Waylen felt a sense of pride.
He descended to find Alexis lounging on the couch, engrossed in watching Chibi Maruko-chan.

Waylen descended the staircase.
Clearing his throat, Waylen remarked, “As a prominent attorney in Duefron, you still find pleasure in such shows for kids.”
Alexis cast a glance at him.
She then took a bite of a chip, commenting, “Dad, this is called preserving a childlike heart. Don’t you do the same, engaging in midday amorous activities? That’s a youthful spirit too!”
She chuckled. “No, it’s more like ‘an old blade remains keen’.”
Seated across from her, Waylen scolded, “If your mother caught wind of this, she’d be furious! Your bold demeanor is reserved only for me, you play the prim and proper role with her.”
“One should conduct themselves appropriately in the company of esteemed individuals.”
Waylen felt irritated.
Having sipped his tea, served by the attendant, he inquired, “Let’s delve into the matter of Leonel’s loan to Edwin.”
Alexis smirked. “Dad, that’s not your actual query, is it?”
Waylen abandoned the pretense, asking straightforwardly, “Fine! What about you and Leonel? Any plans? If you’re serious, I can instruct your mother to commence preparations for your dowry, and I can offer Leonel guidance on matters like a father should.”
“It’s premature!”
Alexis responded with a light laugh, “Dad, understanding each other is crucial. Marriage isn’t an impromptu decision. If we’re incompatible and face the prospect of divorce, or if children become part of the equation, it becomes excessively complex.”
Waylen agreed.
