Female NovelCecilia grumbled for a while, but eventually, she settled at the table to eat the noodles, sniffling softly.
Under the gentle glow of the dim light, her cheeks turned slightly rosy and the tip of her nose glistened with sweat.
Rena understood why her uncle couldn’t get over Cecilia.
Immersed in his high-ranking role, day in and day out, he was just devising intricate plans.
With someone as simple and innocent as Cecilia at his side, he could finally unwind and relax.
“Please, take your time with your meal,” Rena advised.
Though Cecilia was actually two years older than her, Rena regarded her with a gaze akin to that of an older sister looking at a younger sibling. ?
Cecilia polished off the noodles swiftly.
Her reliance on Rena was evident. Despite Rena and Mark being family, Cecilia couldn’t help but lean on Rena for support.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Once Alexis had finised her milk and dozed off, Waylen descended the stairs to find his sister resting her head on Rena’s lap. Playfully, he rapped Cecilia’s head and quipped, “Don’t use your sister-in-law’s lap as a pillow.”
Rena interjected, “It’s fine, really.”
Waylen’s eyes held a depth that discouraged further objections.
Scooping up his sister, Waylen sat opposite Rena, still holding the baby bottle. He said to his sister earnestly, “If you can’t get over him completely, try to manage. But if you’re not willing to, take our parents’ advice and find a good guy to be with.”
Cecilia lowered her gaze, remaining silent.
Waylen continued, “Having a relationship is not against the law. Or are you afraid that he’ll be upset and won’t marry you if you date someone else?”
“No,” Cecilia quickly denied.
“You better not be. Otherwise, you’d be selling yourself short.” Waylen scoffed.
He then headed to the kitchen to clean the baby bottle, carefully disinfecting it in the sterilization cabinet. ?
Cecilia’s eyes widened in surprise…
As night descended, Rena wrestled with restlessness.
Waylen turned to her and softly asked, “Can’t sleep?”
Rena admitted to her sleeplessness.
