Alexis laughed as she collected her phone. “Mom’s actually bothered by you, you know.”
Waylen held back a reply and instead basked in self-admiration.
He noticed the sparkling diamond ring on Alexis’ hand so he paused and asked, “Are you planning to marry Leonel?”
Alexis glanced at the ring and stubbornly responded, “I just find it pretty.”
Waylen looked at her and remarked, “Your mother is more honest than you.”
Despite his biting comments, Waylen felt genuine joy inside. The journey might have been tough, but these two had ultimately found their way together. After drinking half his tea, he went up the stairs.
He anticipated discussing the wedding date with Rena.
He hoped Alexis and Leonel would get married before the year’s end.
On the following day, both Marcus and Elva were at home. Come noon, Edwin arrived with Laura and Olivia for lunch. Laura, despite only in the early stages of her pregnancy, was receiving attentive care from Edwin.
Marcus had a habit of arguing with Edwin.
He tossed out several witty, sarcastic remarks.

Unfazed, Edwin simply smiled and turned to Waylen, “You know, Marcus is already 25. He’s certainly at the age to consider marriage.”
Waylen’s gaze shifted to Marcus.
Previously, Waylen had focused mainly on Alexis and had somewhat neglected Marcus.
Now he had just realized that Marcus was 25.
Waylen admitted that his son was indeed at an appropriate age for marriage. At this point, he contemplated finding a suitable spouse for Marcus. While Marcus himself wasn’t in a rush, Waylen felt it was time to take a more active interest as his father.
Marcus shot Edwin a look. He found his behavior quite cunning.

Just as Marcus dealt with Edwin, Edwin dealt with Marcus.
Rena observed the face-off between Marcus and Edwin and smiled.
“Lunch is ready. Edwin, since Laura is pregnant, please sit beside her and look after her.”
Edwin nodded in agreement. He had a deep respect for Rena.
During their lunch, Edwin took the initiative to serve most of Laura’s meal. Laura felt somewhat embarrassed and was conscious of them being guests in someone else’s home.
As Edwin served her more food, he asked, “Lost in thought? Just eat, or I might just have Aunt Rena and Uncle Waylen personally served you your food.”
Laura remained silent and pouted.
