The Fowler family arrived, with Juliette breaking into tears and Korbyn expressing concern for Edwin.
After a while, Korbyn pulled Mark aside.
He said, âMark, I wonât hold last timeâs wedding incident against you.
You and Cecilia simply werenât meant to be.
She isnât right for you.
But you must take full responsibility for what happened today.
â
Mark replied in a hoarse voice, âYes, itâs all my fault.
â
Korbynâs eyes welled up.
Actually, he didnât want to engage in lengthy conversations with Mark.
After all, it wasnât only about Mark and Cecilia; both Edwin and Rena were also in a difficult position.
However, Korbyn felt sympathy for his daughter.
Korbyn contemplated for a while during the way there and eventually said, âYouâre Renaâs uncle and Edwinâs father after all.
You and Cecilia should maintain a friendly relationship as family in the future.
It would be good for both of you.
â
Markâs Lips trembled.
Korbyn also felt sad.
He pat Mark on the shoulder and said, âI wasnât against you two being together because Cecilia liked you.
I couldnât sway her.
Her mother introduced many accomplished young men to her, but she turned them all down, for you.
In the end, it still didnât work out between you two.
â
Korbyn was genuinely saddened by the situation.
He refrained from saying much and headed to the corridor to have a smoke.
Shortly after, Waylen and Rena arrived.
Rena was heavily pregnant.
Waylen had initially tried to dissuade Rena from coming, but she insisted on coming to see Edwin.
Observing him on the drip, Rena was deeply concerned.
Rena stayed with Edwin for a while and then excused herself to use the bathroom.
Unbeknownst to her, Cecilia was in the bathroom as well.
Upon seeing Rena, Cecilia cried out, âRena!â
Rena closed the door.
Cecilia had always been close to Rena.
She leaned on Renaâs shoulder and sobbed softly.
âAll these years, I never regretted my choices.
But when Edwin disappeared, I truly wish I had never met Mark.
