But before he could say anything, Ceciliaâs timid voice interrupted him.
âMr.
Evans, donât worry.
It was just a one-night stand.
â
Mr.
Evans?
Aone-night stand?
Mark smiled angrily.
He tugged at her ear and asked, âWhoâs the one who called me âUncle Markâ the whole night? You little temptress, youâre calling me Mr.
Evans now that youâre done with me?â If everyone takes advantage of me like this, Iâll die in a womanâs bed someday.
â
His words were harsh, and her eyes turned a little red.
But underneath his gruff facade, Mark also felt bad.
He loved her, but he couldnât be with her for all kinds of reasons.
In the end, Mark pulled Cecilia into a hug and whispered, âHave you gotten the rabbit doll yet? Did you like it?â
Cecilia blushed and nodded shyly.
âYes, I like it a lot.
â
Mark didnât say anything anymore and just held her.
After a long silence, he whispered in her ear, âAs long as you like itâ¦â
Then he finally let go of her and began to get dressed.
âGet some more rest.
Iâll be back at noon.
â
Mark was usually good at flirting.
But at this moment, he didnât know what to say or do.
This little girl was different.
He straightened his clothes neatly, sat on the edge of the bed, and pinched her cheek.
âLhave to get going.
Otherwise, Iâll be late for my meeting.
Look at my neck.
Do you think it looks like Iâm scratched by a naughty cat?â

Wrapped in the quilt, Cecilia looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes.
They had slept together.
But he didnât promise anything, nor did she dare to ask him if they had a future together.
She knew she wasnât right for him, butâ¦
Feeling aggrieved, she didnât wait for him to come back.
She deliberately started to avoid him, but she couldnât fall asleep at night because of him.
