SWNOVELS Chapter 265
Chapter 265 It Won’t Hurt Our Baby
Enveloped by the serenity of the late-night darkness, Rena gently lulled Alexis into slumber, and
then she quietly returned to the master bedroom.
To her surprise, Waylen was not there.
She found him in the study, standing by the French window.
The soft glow of a cigarette was illuminating his silhouette against the night sky.
Without turning on the light, Waylen stood alone in contemplation, the smoke from his cigarette dancing in the night breeze, dissipating into the air.
Rena closed the door behind her and embraced Waylen from behind, her voice filled with concern. “Are you still thinking about the prophecy?”
Ever since he returned from visiting the fortune teller, Waylen had been troubled by the prophecy. Obviously, he was anxious about its implications.
Rena’s arms around him provided some comfort as he extinguished the cigarette. “No, don’t overthink it.”
Rena pressed her face against his back, trying to reassure him. “Then try to relax, okay? The prophecy might not be accurate, or perhaps the soothsayer was just speaking nonsense.” Waylen turned around, a slow smile forming on his lips as he gently placed a hand on her belly, asking, “Has the baby moved yet?”
Amused by his eagerness, Rena glanced at him. “The baby’s only one month old. How can it move already?”
Hugging her close and kissing her hair, Waylen made a heartfelt promise, saying, “Rena, I will be with you throughout the entire pregnancy and watch our child grow. I won’t let you push me away.”
Resting her head on his chest, Rena listened to his words.
She had been with him for a long time and knew that he was still anxious about the prophecy.
She wanted to soothe him.
So, she raised her head, kissed his handsome face, and then trailed kisses along his neck. Rena’s affectionate actions caught Waylen’s attention, and he couldn’t help but feel drawn to her.
He wanted to give in to his desires, but he also cared deeply for their unborn baby.
After teasing him for a while, Rena tried to move away, but Waylen held her firmly, linking their fingers together and planting gentle kisses on her lips. Rena was a little scared and wrapped her

In the faint light, he leaned over and kissed her.
Rena wanted to move, but he stopped her. He clasped her fingers and pecked her.
“Waylen…”
Rena’s voice trembled as she surrendered to him.
It was not the first time they had shared such intimacy. She recalled a snowy night when he had held her against the piano, and that memory lingered in her mind.
Understanding her hesitance, Waylen said hoarsely, “Don’t worry, Rena. It won’t hurt our baby.”
His words were an attempt to alleviate his own anxieties. He had been unsettled by the prophecy. and sought solace in the distraction of physical intimacy.
After a long while, Waylen lifted his head and leaned in to kiss her again.
Rena’s body still trembled slightly, but she allowed him to continue, experiencing the passionate. embrace together.
In the chill of the night, their fervent breath mingled, and they sought warmth in each other’s arms.
Lying on his shoulder, Rena whispered, “Are you feeling better now?”
Waylen responded casually, but he leaned closer to her ear and gently asked, “Did you enjoy it just now?”
Rena blushed, too bashful to answer.
Waylen held her tightly, embracing her in silence. As Rena began to drift off to sleep, he
whispered, “Rena, I love you.”
His words carried a burning passion
that warmed her heart to its core.
Their wedding day was fast approaching, and the excitement in the air was palpable. With the help of Juliette and Cecilia, Rena felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of.
Her main focus now was on Alexis, their adorable daughter, whom she lovingly cared for.
Meanwhile, Waylen had his hands full with work responsibilities.
However, he wanted to make sure to spare time to accompany Rena and Alexis after the
wedding. Together, they would explore the city, creating beautiful memories as a family.
One day, while Waylen was engrossed in official business, Jazlyn walked into the room with a
stack of financial reports.
Waylen, barely glancing at her, instructed, “Thank you. You may leave now.”
Jazlyn hesitated, but didn’t move.
Waylen eventually picked up the reports and realized they were from the Sterling Law Firm – the firm he had founded and was still the major shareholder of.
Waylen was taken aback.
He had left the legal profession three years ago.

to do so.
Leafing through the reports, memories of his legal career flooded his mind. “Make an announcement for me. If there is a suitable offer, sell it off.”
Jazlyn nodded sadly.
Waylen had handled numerous sensational cases, both at home and abroad, and gained immense recognition and success. The cases were a testament to his dedication but also reminders of the heartache he endured.
Jazlyn sighed and left soon.
Waylen sat there quietly and looked through the financial reports. The reason why he made such a quick decision was actually influenced by the soothsayer’s words.
Only he himself knew that he had won a good reputation and skyrocketing commissions from those lawsuits.
The truth was… Those lawsuits witnessed the violation of his heart.
While grappling with emotions, Waylen received an unexpected call from a detention center.
The caller politely greeted him.
Suspecting it had to do with Elvira, Waylen found himself clenching the phone too hard.
The man paused for a moment and then asked, “Mr. Fowler, Miss Coleman wants to see you. before she is executed. Is it convenient for you to see her?”
Waylen angrily replied, “She tried to killed my daughter. Do you think it’s convenient for me to
visit her?”
The caller apologized and hung up, understanding the sensitivity of the situation.
Frustrated, Waylen threw the phone away and lit a cigarette, seeking a momentary escape from his thoughts.
The fortune teller’s words haunted him once again.
“Your character is exceedingly strong, which may at times endanger those around you. In the
future, you will experience a rebirth, and only after that, you’ll find solace and tranquility.”
What did the ‘rebirth’ mean…
Waylen wasn’t a believer in the past, but now he was in awe of such things.
While contemplating, he said to Jazlyn as soon as he finished smoking, “I intend to establish a charity foundation. Let’s call it Exceed Foundation. Invest one billion in its incubation stage and
maintain our focus on the orphaned children.”
Jazlyn was a bit surprised at her boss’ sudden whims.
However, she did not pry any further despite her curiosity.
She dutifully noted down his requirements to apply for the foundation.
Waylen then waved his hand for her to leave.
With the fortune teller’s words still playing on his mind, he felt an urge to do more philanthropic

work to bring good fortune to his loved ones. He leaned back in his chair, lost in thought, contemplating the meaning of the so-called “rebirth.”
Later, Rena called about the wedding dress.
Waylen eagerly inquired, “Have you picked something out?” I’ll pick you up this afternoon. I want to see you try it.”
Rena replied, “I’m not being too picky. I’ll take the chauffeur’s car and meet you at the bridal shop.” She revealed she had also chosen an exquisite dress for Alexis and sent Waylen a picture.
Waylen agreed.
He hung up the phone and soon received a picture.
The sight of the adorable bubble skirt brought a smile to his face as he imagined the beautiful family portraits they would take on their special day.
Imagining the portrait of taking wedding pictures of his family, Waylen felt soft in his heart. He replied, “It looks good. I’ll pick you up first this afternoon, and then we’ll pick up Alexis together.”
