Amid the commotion, he ran back to cover his ears and said, âFrom now on, only good things will happen.
â
Mark smiled silently.
Zoey asked, âWhere are Cecilia, Edwin and Olivia? Werenât you at the Fowlerâs house earlier? Why didnât you bring them along?â
Mark helped Zoey inside.
He smiled and replied, âEdwin is still not on good terms with me.
Iâll bring him over to see you in a few days.

Zoeyâs mood lightened a bit.

She looked at Mark and reprimanded, âI believe they simply donât wish to see you.
Cecilia visits me quite frequently with the kids.
â
Mark just smiled.
Even Zoey couldnât fathom Markâs thoughts.
At that moment, a timid young girl approached.
It was Laura, who unfortunately still refused to speak.
She had made a small cake for Mark, which was somewhat unattractive.
She ran away in embarrassment after setting it down.
Lina smiled and said to Mark, âShe missed you very much.
â
Mark just smiled.
The dinner was lively.
After the meal, Mark took a couple of pills and sat in his bedroom, lost in thought.
Despite his outward composure, Mark was deeply affected.
He couldnât help but feel uneasy about the man sitting next to Cecilia.
Mark and Cecilia had missed their chance to rekindle their relationship two years ago.
He had left resolutely, and there was no reason for her to wait for him.
But now that he had survived, he couldnât help but feel the yearning to be with her.
Mark wanted to smoke a cigarette, but his body wouldnât allow it.
Instead, he retrieved a candy from his pocket, which happened to be Ceciliaâs favorite.
He unwrapped it and placed it in his mouth.
