But⦠she just couldnât go back to him.
âWe canât be a couple.
We can only be parents to our son,â she told him in a soft tone.
âIâll take Edwin to visit your mom.
Let go of me, Mark.
Iâm going to be late.
â
Mark was rarely impulsive.
But all of a sudden, he pressed his Lips against her ear and said in a hoarse voice, âI still want to be your husband.
â
As he said this, his eyes were full of tears.
Cecilia was the sweet little thing he had been chasing for a long time, but now, he had lost her.
âDonât you want me anymore, hmmm?â he asked under his breath.
âDonât even go there,â Cecilia said in a low voice.
âLook, Mark, I donât hate you.
But Iâm serious about what I want.
â
Then she wriggled out of his grasp.
Mark was left alone, standing there in a trance.
After taking a few steps out into the corridor, Cecilia stopped to take a deep breath.
She had said those final words with so much determination, but it had not been as easy to say them as they sounded.
Nevertheless, no matter how difficult it was, she had to remain strong.
Peter heard some noise, so he came out from the room next to theirs.
When he saw Cecilia crying, he immediately felt sorry for her.
He walked up to her and wiped her tears with a tissue.
âYou Two had a quarrel?â he asked in a gentle tone.
âDonât stay angry for longâ
âThese things happen to couples.
My wife and I also quarrel sometimes.
â
Cecilia took the tissue from him and wiped the rest of her tears.
Then she forced a smile to her face and said, âWell, you guys are a married couple.
But Iâm not Markâs wife.
â
Before Peter could respond, Mark came over.
He looked at Ceciliaâs red eyes and his Adamâs apple bobbed twice.
Finally, he said, âIâll give you a ride back to the filming Location.
â
They then got into the car again.
This time, Cecilia was more silent than before.
Throughout the journey, she kept her focus outside the window.
