The assistant was taken aback by Ceciliaâs words.
She couldnât believe that Cecilia and Mark had reached the stage of discussing marriage.
On the opposite end of the line, Mark sat comfortably in the back seat, his fingers gently caressing the phone.
Deliberately, he dr@ped his coat over Cecilia, revealing the dazzling diamond ring.
He was undoubtedly a cunning and scheming individualâ¦
After so many years, she had finally made some progress.
Yet, it seemed that her progress was not complete.
Otherwise, why would she cry so heartrendingly?
Hearing the conversationâs contents, Peter turned around in the front seat and spoke tenderly.
âYou can comfort her later.
Sheâs like a child.
You should give her at least a candy to bring a smile to her face.
â
Mark chuckled.
âIf you consider her a child again, she wonât be pleased.
â
Markâs âLittle girlâ was already in her thirties.
Rena took Edwin home.
Waylen left work early, picked up Alexis and headed home.

Waylen entered, embraced Rena from behind, and inquired in a hushed tone, âDid Cecilia quarrel with Mark again?â

Rena paused her work.
Her gaze fell upon the hands encircling her waist.
She gently bit her lip and replied, âWaylen, donât do this.
The children might come in at any moment.
Itâs not appropriate for them to witness us like this.
â
Waylen playfully nipped the tender flesh on her neck and retorted, âAlexis has seen us like this plenty of times.
â
âEven so, we should still be cautious.
â
Waylen didnât press the matter further.
He gently caressed her waist.
Rena had been working out and her waist was beautifully toned.
Waylen wanted to compliment her sweetly and asked, âDid you enjoy last night?â
Rena blushed.
