But to her surprise, Mark was also present.
The atmosphere surrounding the two of them was quite subtle.
Mark looked self-absorbed while Cecilia looked as if nothing was going on between the two of them.
In fact, she treated him quite politely.
After saying a few words to Rena, she got up and left.
Even after Cecilia closed the door behind her, Mark couldnât get her out of his head.
He stared at the closed door, lost in thought.
Rena poured him a glass water without him asking for it.
With a faint smile, Mark looked at her and said, âItâs been a while Iâm sorry it took me so long, but Iâm finally here to see the child.
â
After saying this, Mark presented a gift to Elva.
Rena thanked him in a trembling voice.
When Mark saw her hesitant look, his eyes became red.
But he suppressed his emotions and said in a low voice as he stared at the baby, âI know what youâre thinking, Rena.
You want the best for me and Cecilia.
But Iâm very sick now and I canât make any promises.
â
Mark wanted very much to take care of Cecilia.
But the most he could do for her right now was being a good father to their children.
Zoey wouldnât allow him to stepped further and hold Cecilia back.
He himself didnât want to do that to her either.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, four months had passed, and Elva had started babbling.
In the evening, Waylen picked up his two children and returned home.
The moment Alexis got out of the car, she sprinted toward the villa, eager to see her sister.
Leonel, on the other hand, was more composed and followed Alexis into the villa.
Waylen closed the car door.
Though he hadnât quit smoking entirely, he usually refrained from it at home.
He leaned against the car and lit a cigarette, taking his time to finish it.
Afterward, he walked into the villa, removed his coat, and asked the servant, âIs Rena upstairs?â
The servant, with a subtle smile, replied, âYes.
Alexis, Marcus, and Leonel are also upstairs.
Itâs quite Lively up there.
â
Waylen proceeded upstairs.
At the door of the new babyâs room, Leonel and Marcus stood like guards outside, their faces flushed.
