Mark curled up beside her, tenderly resting his hand on her belly.
Cecilia speculated that perhaps she would get pregnant this time.
She remained in his embrace, her heart still racing.
She softly asked, âArenât you going to the company now?â
Mark ki*sed her, dressed, and went to the bathroom to change his shirt.
She noticed some semen and her juices on his discarded shirt, which made her feel slightly embarrassed.
Mark returned with a new shirt and ki*sed her.

âHave a good rest.
And donât worry about Edwin.
Iâll pick him up.
â
Cecilia obediently nodded, raising her body to return his ki*s.
Her face flushed.
Mark whispered, âWeâll have another round tonight when I return.
â
The atmosphere in the bedroom remained sweet even after he left.
Cecilia lovingly touched her belly.
It was still warm from Markâs touch.
She noted that they hadnât used any contraception during their earlier encounter, indicating his desire for a child.
Cecilia felt elated and rolled around on the bed.
But her excitement was interrupted when her hand brushed against something hard.
She discovered Markâs phone on the bed.
Although she didnât intend to snoop, a message from Cathy appeared on the screen, catching her attention.
Markâs phone wasnât locked, and curiosity got the better of Cecilia.
She opened the message and found that over the past two weeks, Cathy had sent numerous messages, most of which were about Laura.
Cathyâs tone was gentle, but Mark had barely responded to any of them.
There was only one response from him last week.
âLaura is being well taken care of.
â
Ceciliaâs body tensed, and she felt a chill.
The simple message left her deeply troubled.
Mark and Cathyâs relationship resembled that of divorced couples, connected through their shared responsibility for a child.
The ironic part was that the child wasnât even Markâs.
