For the past three years, Rena had remained single.
Vera was plagued with guilt and apprehension.
However, Rena wasnât in a rush.
She had something to say but, just as she was about to speak, her phone rang, interrupting their conversation.
It was the same number that had messaged her the previous night, but this time it was Lexi.
Speaking in a sweet voice, she uttered, âMiss Gordon, I miss you so much.
â
Renaâs countenance immediately softened.
â1 miss you too.
â
Alexis persisted in her spoiled behavior.
âI want to see you.
â
Rena hesitated.
It was against protocol to meet a student on non-school days.
She struggled to restrain herself for a considerable time and reluctantly declined, saying, âLetâs meet on Friday, alright?â
Alexis seemed disappointed.
Instead of bursting into tears, she murmured softly, âDad isnât home.
Iâm so lonely.
Miss Gordon, please stay with me.
â
Renaâs heart melted instantaneously.
Vera overheard this and was taken aback.
Who could withstand such a girl?

As expected, Rena inquired about Lexiâs whereabouts, Alexis giggled.
âMiss Gordon, look outside.
â
Rena was taken by surprise.
With her phone in hand, she peered out of the coffee shop and spotted a sleek limousine parked by the entrance.
The back door was ajar.
Lexi sat inside the car.
Dressed in a floral frock, Lexi gazed at Rena with obedience and gentleness.
Rena promptly rose from her seat and stated, âVera, Iâm leaving now.
â
Vera was utterly bewildered
She had a nagging feeling that something fishy must be going on!
Rena climbed into the car.
For some inexplicable reason, she detected a familiar masculine scent within the vehicle.
It was the faint aroma of tobacco intermingled with a hint of pine.
As she furrowed her brow, Lexi had already settled on her lap.
