Cecilia thought of the diamond ring.
Mark remembered it, too, and said in a hoarse voice, âDo you still have that diamond ring? Thatâs the ring I bought with the money I saved up to marry you.
It wasnât easy for me to save all that money.
Iâm going to propose to you with that ring.
â
Cecilia was tempted, but women were always squeamish when marriage was concerned.
She deliberately attempted to piss Mark off.
âIâll give it back to you.
Just propose to another woman with it.
You have a lot of female friends anyway.
Iâm not the only one.
â
Cecilia spoke like a spoiled child.
There were tears in Markâs eyes.
Cecilia was the same as when he first met her.
He really wanted to do something intimate with her, but Edwin was there, so he whispered, âStay here tonight.
With this house, we donât have to sneak around anymore.
â
Cecilia didnât agree immediately.
She had been separated from him for several years, and she was still deeply hurt.
She was about to refuse.
Overhearing what Mark said, Edwin pleaded, âI want to stay here tonight, Mom.
â
Ceciliaâs lips trembled.
Edwin threw himself into her arms.
Cecilia always felt sorry for Edwin.
She Loved him very much, and she couldnât refuse his request.
She didnât say it clearly, but she meant to stay.

Mark didnât get anxious.
Instead, he went to the kitchen and made some midnight smack for Cecilia and Edwin.
The food Mark cooked was delicious, and Cecilia ate it without saying much.
Taking care of his son, Mark said gently, âYouâve been talking less and less in the past few years.
I remember that you used to be talkative.
â
Cecilia lowered her eyes and said, âI have become mature.
â
Mark stared at her quietly.
He knew that she was from a rich family and that she was good at making money.
She could choose to be with a suitable man.
But he was still eager to win her heart.
Naturally, Edwin didnât know what was going on between Mark and Cecilia.
It was late at night.
Edwin was tired.
Mark was the one who bathed him, helped him put on pajamas, and got him ready for bed.
Soon, Edwin was sound asleep on the bed.
