Waylen confirmed with a single word: yes.
A lump formed in Lyndonâs throat.
He couldnât come to terms with the fact that his own child, Rena, had acknowledged the Evans familyâ¦
He was Renaâs biological father, yet she refused to recognize him as her own.
In a daze, Lyndon disconnected the callâ¦
The following day, Waylen returned to the Fowlersâ residence.
Korbyn happened to be sipping tea in the living room.
Upon seeing his sonâs return, he sneered, âWell, well, well.
Look whoâs here.
My prodigal son has returned.
Youâve been busy, havenât you? I havenât laid eyes on you in two weeks.
â
Waylen took a seat and Korbyn flippantly tossed a cigarette toward him.
âNo thanks, Iâve quit smokingâ
âYouâve quit smoking? Thatâll be the day!â
Korbyn remained skeptical.
Waylen cast a slow gaze upstairs and stated, âWhere are Mom and Cecilia? I have something important to share.
â
Just then, Juliette and Cecilia descended the stairs.
Juliette appeared downtrodden, her sole concern being the prospect of Waylen and Rena getting together and having children of their own.
â
Waylen declared calmly.
âRena is pregnant.

No sooner had the words left his lips than Korbyn hurled the cigarette box he held in his hand at Waylen.
Unfortunately, it failed to cause any significant damage.
Meanwhile, Juliette was overcome with joy, repeatedly thanking the heavens.
Korbyn feigned displeasure.
He snorted, âNow that sheâs with child, you ought to propose to her and pay a visit to her family.
â
Waylen mentioned the gifts he had in mind to visit the Evans and ask for Renaâs hand.
Hearing his words, Korbyn grew indignant.
âIs that all youâre going to give her? Shame on you.
This isnât a mere business transaction! Youâre going to marry this woman! Let your mother.
handle it.
You only marry once in your life.
How can you demonstrate sincerity if you donât showcase all your wealth?â
Korbyn had a keen eye for such matters.
Apart from his admiration for Rena, another aspect played into it-Rena was now part of the Evans family.
Following the union with the Evans family, there would be numerous opportunities for collaboration between the two families.
This marriage not only involved the emotions of the younger generation but also held implications for both partiesâ interests.
Upon hearing Korbynâs words, Juliette cheerfully set about preparing the dowry.
Waylen harbored no reservations about spending money.
If he married Rena, all his possessions would become hers anyway.
