Korbyn then changed the subject.
âSo when will you two get married?â
Get married?
Waylen looked at Rena and grinned.
âDad, I just got back together with Rena.
Itâs too soon to talk about marriage.
I just want to enjoy my time with her for at least two more years.
â
Korbyn sneered.
âTwo more years? Do you think you two are getting any younger? And what are you even talking about? You think getting married will get in the way of your enjoyment?â
Waylen rubbed his nose.
Rena took the initiative to say, âWe will talk about getting married when Alexis is older.
â
Korbyn nodded.
âThatâs a proper answer.
Youâre lucky Rena is willing to put up with you,
Waylen.
You canât even give me a decent reply about you two tying the knot.
â
These words made everyone laugh.
Renaâs mood got a little better.
On their way back home, Waylen held Renaâs hand and asked, âWhen will you marry me?â
Sitting in the back seat, Alexis leaned closer and waited for her motherâs answer.
Rena saw Alexisâ expression in the rearview mirror and smiled.
âNext fall,â she replied.

The light ahead had turned red, and Waylen stopped the car.
He teased Rena, âIâm not getting any younger, Miss Gordon.
If you donât marry me soon, Iâm afraid I will end up an unmarried sad old man because no one will want me.
â
Rena wasnât fooled by him.
She rolled her eyes and chuckled, âOh, please.
A lot of women will want you.
â
Without saying anything, Waylen looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.
Staring back at him, Rena inexplicably felt ill at ease.
He had looked at her like this many, many times, but still, she couldnât quite bear the emotions she felt every time he did.
In the evening, Waylen put Alexis to bed.
Then, he went to Rena, pressed her on the bed, and made love to her twice.
After that, he held her in his arms and said softly, ââm going to Hondrau on business tomorrow.
Iâll be there for about ten days.
I would really love to take you and Alexis with me, but she has school.
â
The idea of herself and Alexis coming with Waylen to Hondrau excited Rena.
