As she cut Alexis’ steak and taught her how to use knives and forks properly, Alexis imitated her mother’s actions with ease.
Looking at her adorable face, Rena felt a profound affection for Alexis in her heart.
Putting aside her relationship with Waylen, her aspiration now was a life filled with love and care for little Alexis.
Her daughter needed to be cherished and looked after and Rena was determined to do just that. For Rena, Alexis was not a burden but rather her savior.
Waylen savored his meal with delight but his euphoria didn’t last long.
It dissipated when Tyrone unexpectedly appeared, casting a shadow over his good mood.
Why did they have to encounter him at this moment?
Tyrone wasn’t alone; he was accompanied by his girlfriend, who was rumored to be a socialite from a prominent family in Heron.
Spotting them, Tyrone paused and greeted, “Mr. Fowler! Rena, it’s been a while.”
Tyrone extended courteous greetings, and naturally, Waylen responded without impulsive rudeness.
Taking Rena’s hand in his, Waylen stood up and smiled, “Long time no see, Tyrone! Did you bring your girlfriend for dinner?”
Tyrone nodded affirmatively.
His gaze shifted from Rena’s face to little Alexis.
The resemblance between Alexis and Rena caught his attention and he couldn’t resist picking her up.
However, before he could kiss her, Alexis took the initiative and sweetly greeted him, kissing him on her own accord.
Tyrone’s girlfriend also approached to greet Alexis and the little girl generously kissed her in return.
Touched, Tyrone couldn’t help but compliment Alexis tearfully, “She’s incredibly adorable!”
Waylen concurred with a smile, “Indeed, she’s a darling! Rena and I were even discussing having a little sibling for her to keep her company.”
Waylen’s words dimmed the sparkle in Tyrone’s eyes.
Rena was taken aback, wondering when she had agreed to this.
Waylen was feeling particularly magnanimous today, inviting Tyrone and his girlfriend to join them for dinner.
Rena was left speechless by Waylen’s childlike behavior. She observed him calmly discussing stocks and the economic landscape with Tyrone and then making arrangements to step out for a smoke.
Tyrone’s girlfriend admired, “You two love each other so deeply!”
Rena replied with a faint smile.
