Female NovelWary of stimulating her, Waylen lowered his head, tenderly brushed her face, and softly said, “Cecilia has decided to go through with the pregnancy.”
“How could she…”
A profound sadness enveloped Rena.
Her voice quivered as she said, “Cecilia doesn’t know about my uncle’s illness, and my uncle doesn’t know she’s pregnant. Waylen, I think it’s terribly unfair to both of them.”
Waylen embraced her in silence.
In an effort to find solace, Rena tried to regain her composure.
Having been married to him for many years, she had little difficulty discerning his thoughts.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Rena asked gently, “You don’t intend to tell my uncle about this, do you?”
Waylen remained silent.
His gaze was even gentler than the serene night outside.
Nuzzling her head on his shoulder, Rena accepted the reality.
In a hoarse voice, he said, “Rena, their relationship has reached an impasse. Their separation was incredibly painful, witnessed by so many. If they reconcile solely because of your uncle’s illness and Cecilia’s pregnancy, wouldn’t that be unjust to Cecilia?”
Rena knew he was right.
If they were to be honest and laid everything bare, it would be Mark who would always have the upper hand with Cecilia.
Cecilia’s future couldn’t be compromised any further.
A pang of sadness overcame Rena. She gently wrapped her arms around Waylen’s waist and whispered, “Waylen, you know what? I truly despised him when he left Cecilia at their wedding! It wasn’t just for Cecilia, but for himself as well. Happiness was so hard for them to regain, yet he was willing to sacrifice that rare happiness for his so-called responsibility and the opinions of others. He knew Cecilia well, but he still left her without hesitation…”
Waylen kissed her hair.
He had been through a lot with Rena, and he was all the more grateful for her thoughtfulness and for her presence.
They discussed everything openly without holding back.
Waylen promised in a hoarse voice, “I’ll find the best doctor for your uncle, and at the same time, I’ll fulfill my duty as a brother to help Cecilia raise her child. Rena, trust me!”
She nodded and leaned gently on his shoulder.
The night was shrouded in darkness.
Waylen closed the window with one hand and held Rena for a while.
Early in the morning, Waylen woke up and reached out to touch Rena.
