Cecilia marched alongside Mark and asked, âArenât you worried that youâre snubbing your guest?â
Mark hadnât seen Cecilia for a day and missed her dearly.
He cornered her against the corridor wall and brushed his fingertips along her wound.
âDoes it still hurt?â he asked her.
Cecilia shook her head.
âIt doesnât hurt anymore.
â
With a smile, Mark leaned closer and whispered, âI mean there.
Werenât you crying out of pain last night?â
At the mention of that, Cecilia turned red and playfully shoved his chest.
They were so immersed in their own little world that they had completely forgotten that Cathy was still there.
Ever so considerate, Mark helped Cecilia get changed.
By the time they emerged from the room, Cathy was already gone.
Meanwhile, Edwin continued following Zoey, who focused on cooking her signature dishes.
In the past, Zoey usually exerted very minimal effort.
But this year, she seemed immersed in cooking.

Upon observing his motherâs gentle demeanor, Markâs heart softened.
He then picked up his son and said, âIâll take you to the yard.
We can set off the fireworks there.
â
Cecilia also wanted to set off the fireworks.
She would like to have some fun, but she noticed Zoey could use a helping hand.
âZoey, let me help you with the dinner,â Cecilia volunteered.
Zoey chuckled and playfully nudged Cecilia away.
âThanks, dear.
But, please, join Mark.
I can handle the cooking perfectly.
Go ahead and play with Mark.
â
With Zoeyâs words, Cecilia darted out of the kitchen and headed for the yard.
Once she was gone, Zoey turned to Mark and let out a hearty laugh.
âYou married a girl whoâs a child at heart.
Thatâs a good thing.
Sheâs lively and adorable.
â
A smile formed on Markâs lips.
Aside from what his mother had mentioned, Cecilia was exceedingly gorgeous.
