At this point, Cecilia was already too exhausted to argue.
She just flashed him a dry smile.
She knew Cathy would definitely do something in the future.
Mark swallowed hard as he felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness engulf him.
Based on the look on Ceciliaâs face, he could easily tell that she was serious with her pronouncement.
By now, the atmosphere between them had grown heavy and tense.
ALL of a sudden, Edwin woke up.
As he rubbed the sleep off his eyes, the first thing he saw was Mark.
Edwin had always been afraid of Mark, so the moment he saw Mark, he immediately sat up.
âUncle!â he blurted out.
Mark mussed his hair and said, âYou silly boy.
You should call me dad!â
Edwin wanted to jump into Markâs arms, but a thought occurred in his mind and stopped him from doing so.
He gnashed his teeth and remained stationary for a while.
When he looked up at Mark, his eyes were bubbling with tears.
Today, Edwin saw Mark holding another child in his arms.
Seeing the hurt on Edwinâs face, Mark felt his heart crack.
âYou silly boy! That girlâs not my child!â
Edwin was a simple-minded boy.
The moment he heard Markâs explanation, he immediately threw himself into Markâs arms without uttering a single word.
Mark smiled as he comfortingly rubbed Edwinâs back.
Then, he turned his attention to Cecilia and said to her in hushed tones, âStay at my place for one night.
Tomorrow morning, IâLL drive you back to Duefron.
â
Cecilia shook her head and refused.

âIâLL go back by myself,â she insisted.
Mark let out an exasperated sigh.
âOur issue should be resolved in private.
Donât cause a scene, okay? Iâve already called Zoey and told her youâll come and see her today.
Sheâs happy with it.
â
When Mark invoked Zoeyâs name, Cecilia remembered the kindness Zoey had been showing to her, and tears welled up immediately.
Cecilia sniffled before wiping her nose with the back of her hand.
After a long pause, she said, âI donât need you to drive me back tomorrow!â
Judging from her words, Mark already knew that words were now powerless to coax her.
He didnât say anything anymore.
Instead, he simply carried her luggage and got into the car with them.
