Chapter 268 This Is Our Wedding Night
Rena’s heart trembled with emotions that were on the verge of overflowing.
She fought back tears and gracefully walked into the room, just as she always did.
Waylen stowed his diary away, his fingers delicately brushing against the drawer’s surface. When he looked up, his gaze was tender. “Is Alexis asleep?” he inquired.
With a gentle smile, Rena placed the fruit plate down and nestled into his arms, guiding his hand to her belly. “She’s asleep. This little one however, is eagerly waiting for you.”
Tenderly, Waylen caressed her belly, feeling the presence of their unborn child.
Sadly, the baby was still too small and there was no fetal movement.
Had it been otherwise, he could have at least felt the reassuring heartbeat of his own flesh and blood.
Drawing close to Rena, their noses touched, and he playfully teased, “Does the baby miss me, or is it you who wants to sleep with me?”
Rena wrapped her arms lovingly around his neck.
She looked stunning in her thin silk pajamas, an allure that would have tempted him before but now, with her being pregnant, he had other considerations.
Waylen kissed her tenderly, His hand kept touching her body.
Finally, he rested his forehead against hers and whispered, “Rena, if only time would stand still at this very moment. We could have our happy ending.
Tears welled up in Rena’s eyes as she placed a finger on his lips and replied, “Waylen, we’re not married yet. How can this be the ending?”
Waylen’s eyes brimmed with affection as he gazed deeply into hers.
After a prolonged moment, he said in a husky voice, “Let’s get married tomorrow, Rena. Just the
two of us, alright?”
In a hoarse voice, Rena softly said, “Okay.”
The following morning, Waylen forwent his usual jog and instead called Jazlyn, requesting her to
prepare the necessary documents.
Jazlyn arrived in the afternoon and a servant led her to the study on the second floor.
With a mix of emotions, Jazlyn managed a professional smile and addressed him, saying, “Mr. Fowler, I’ve prepared all the documents.”

eived the stack of papers.
It was the share transfer agreement of the Exceed Group, with Waylen transferring sixty-five percent of his shares to his wife, Rena. Once signed and notarized, the agreement would take effect immediately.
Waylen carefully perused the documents and then handed them to Rena, saying softly, “The Fowler Group may be inherited by our children in the future, but this will be all yours. Professional managers will oversee its operations, and Jazlyn will be there to assist you, Rena. You can do it.” Regretfully, he might not be able to accompany her throughout the journey…
However, ensuring her security and prosperity was his duty as a devoted husband.
Additionally, should Rena possess all these things, she would no longer feel inadequate or withdraw when faced with his amnesia. In moments of sadness, she could let him go, relinquishing all his wealth…
Rena’s quivering lips framed her heartfelt question, “Aren’t we going to get married, Waylen? I desire nothing more than you.”
Yet, he was offering her material possessions.
With a tender touch to her head, Waylen smiled affectionately and stated, “Consider this my betrothal gift to you.”
In fear that he might mistreat her in the future when he forgot everything, he wholeheartedly bestowed everything upon her, choosing to do so when he could still remember.
Despite their impending marriage, Rena couldn’t help but weep due to the melancholy circumstances.
Quietly, Jazlyn left the room.
Outside, her tears flowed uncontrollably as she empathized deeply with her boss and Rena….
In the study, Rena stood before the French window, feeling a sense of resistance. Understanding her thoughts, Waylen approached and embraced her from behind, resting his chin. on her shoulder. In a hushed tone, he reassured her, “Please don’t cry, alright?”
Unable to contain her sorrow, Rena’s heart ached.
Waylen tenderly wiped away her tears with his warm fingers and comforted her, “Silly girl, even if you become the president of the Exceed Group, I can’t escape from you, no matter where I may go in the future. Rena, you have me forever.”
Moved by his words, Rena turned around and embraced him tightly.
His shirt became soaked with her tears…
Although he felt discomfort, he didn’t mind, knowing that these cherished moments would
become increasingly rare.
Finally, Rena signed the documents.
With that, she assumed Waylen’s position and became the new president of the Exceed Group, a
company valued at over 200 billion dollars.

there was no one else in attendance.
In a quaint church, the altar held a Bible and a pair of wedding rings.
Waylen was dressed immaculately.
Donned in a snow-white shirt and a black velvet tuxedo, it was Rena’s favorite ensemble.
At less than two months pregnant, Rena’s belly had not yet begun to show. She chose a simple wedding gown that accentuated her slender waist, her long brown hair cascading gracefully over it, creating a picture of beauty and romance.
They exchanged their vows and slipped the rings onto each other’s fingers.
They interlocked their fingers. Waylen looked into Rena’s eyes and whispered, “I promise I will never leave our marriage and never betray it.”
Rena’s eyes glistened with emotion.
She looked up at her newlywed husband and softly replied, “I promise to remain faithful to our union. No matter where life takes us, I will never be parted from you.”
In a tender moment, Waylen leaned down and planted a loving kiss on her lips…
This was the night of their wedding, so instead of the villa, they went back to Waylen’s old apartment where they share numerous nights in the past.
The main bedroom exuded an enchanting sight as it was adorned with a profusion of delicate
roses.
With tender strength, Waylen cradled Rena in his arms and gently laid her down on the sumptuously soft bed.
They experienced intimacy for the first time in this very bed.
On this bed, they had shared countless passionate moments. If tomorrow marked the end of days, Waylen’s deepest wish would be to transport Rena back to the place where they had forged
their love…
And there, with fiery passion, they would make love once again.
Due to Rena’s pregnancy, Waylen had been cautious and considerate that night.
Whispering against her ear, he softly expressed, “Rena, I yearn to witness your happiness. Can we
be together?”
Rena’s body trembled slightly.
Though tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, she gently removed the bathrobe from her
body.
She bared herself for him…
In the midst of the night, they returned to the villa.
Rena was overcome with exhaustion and soon drifted off to sleep. However, Alexis woke up…
Being a sensitive child, she naturally perceived the changing atmosphere at home. Fully aware
not to disturb her parents, she remained silently apprehensive..

Yet, slumber eluded the little girl.
Wrapping the girl snugly in a blanket, Waylen carried Alexis to the living room and tenderly. comforted her.
The room was bathed in a soothing warm, yellow glow.
Nestled against her father’s lap, Alexis closed her eyes and listened to his soothing narration of stories. While she knew them all by heart, she cherished the way her father brought them to life… Waylen’s gentle touch caressed her curly hair as he read.
Suddenly, he said, his voice becoming lower and huskier, “Baby, I might have to go on a business trip.”
Alexis opened her eyes slowly…
Waylen’s words continued, “I may have to travel far away for quite some time. Lexi… You must help your mom take care of your little brother, alright?”
Alexis remained still.
After a while, she inquired in a nasal voice, “Dad, will it be cold where you’re going?”
Waylen smiled warmly. “A little.”
Alexis, with concern in her voice, suggested, “Take more warm clothes with you, Dad. Then you won’t feel cold. I’ll come to visit you during the holidays. My embrace will keep you warm… and you won’t be cold.”
Waylen’s throat tightened.
Lowering his head, he kissed the precious girl, overwhelmed by his love for her.
So remarkably clever and endearing she was.
He truly didn’t want to leave her. Overcome with affection, he kissed her repeatedly, calling her name, “Alexis… My sweetest little angel…”
Tears welled up in Alexis’ eyes.
Cradled in Waylen’s embrace, she asked in a soft voice, “How long will
you be
gone, Dad?”
Waylen held her close and, after a profound silence, he replied in a hushed tone, “I don’t know.
Maybe three years, five years… or I might not return until you’ve grown up.”
Yet Alexis did not cry.
She clung to her father, cherishing his warm presence…
