Mark didnât appreciate it when others tried to probe into his private life, so he replied hastily, âJust my junior.
â
Cecilia wanted to plead her brotherâs case with Mark.
But Mark was busy meeting groups of people.
Wouldnât he be tired by the time he was finished?
Later, she couldnât hold on any longer and fell asleep on the sofa.
She held one of the throw pillows tightly.
It was already nightfall when Mark sent away the last group of people with whom he met.
He was tired, and drinking a glass of wine always helped relieve some of his fatigue.
The suite was dimly light.
Mark had changed into a black formal suit, looking quite calm.
Holding a glass of red wine, he stared at Cecilia who was sound asleep on the sofa.
The light from outside the French window shone in, bathing her delicate face in a warm glow.
He was so fascinated by her that he couldnât help beaming.
He wondered how he ended up with such a sweetheart on his couch.
She was so simple and so innocent, and she threw caution to the wind.
Maybe it was because of his scorching gaze that Ceciliaâs eyelids suddenly flew open.
She rubbed her eyes, got up, and knelt on the sofa.
She had a slender figure and long inky hair.
She was wearing a long white dress.
She was quite ravishing, not like a child at all.

Seeing Mark staring at her, Cecilia called to him softly, âUncle Mark.
â
âIm sorry.
Did I wake you?â
Mark put down his glass and asked, âArenât you afraid of sleeping in a strange manâs hotel suite?â
Realizing that she had slept for a long time, Cecilia couldnât help blushing a little.
She scratched her head and replied, âYouâre not a stranger to me.
Youâre my sister-in-lawâs uncle, so youâre family.
Thatâs why I call you Uncle Mark.

Mark took a step forward.
