As for Mark, his busy schedule had always made him unable to address his personal matters.
âMaybe next year,â Mark whispered, gazing into his glass.

Late into the night, Waylen found himself in Renaâs room, Meanwhile, Mark ventured into Zoeyâs room.
Zoey had been overcome with grief and barely ate, so Mark took it upon himself to whip up a simple noodle dish for her.
âMom, at least have a few bites,â Mark urged gently.
âIf you want to visit his grave, Iâll go with you,â he offered.
Zoey shook her head and gazed out of the window at the brilliant moon.
In a hushed voice, she murmured, âHe predicted this ending, yet he chose to go through with it.
It must have brought him some peace.
Mark, I wonât be visiting his grave.
Mark nodded.
âVery well.

Observing her white sports car drive away, Waylen unbuttoned his coat and pretended to be perplexed.
âShe appeared rather frightened of me.

He had been gazing at Danna in such a way.
It was no wonder she felt a little uneasy.
Waylen showed no rush to get to the office.
Instead, he settled Rena onto his lap and inquired softly.
âDid Danna come by to speak with you?â
