After that, Mark began preparing Oliviaâs milk.
Thankfully, he had brought enough milk powder with him.
Olivia ended up enjoying her drink very much.
Feeding Olivia was one of Markâs favorite thing to do nowadays.
With the little girl in his arms, it made him believe for a second that he still had Cecilia by his side, and the four of them had never separated.
After all, Edwin was still a kid.
Despite that he had been sulking the whole day, now he could no longer stay mad at Mark anymore and decided to lean against his arm and watch Olivia drink her milk.
As he looked at his sister, Edwinâs eyes widened with affection.
When Mark saw Edwin Leaning over, he didnât move.
After a while, Edwin rested his head on Markâs shoulder.
When the atmosphere among the three was almost perfect, Markâs phone suddenly rang.
Ceciliaâs name was flashing on the screen.
Not wanting to break the atmosphere he had created, he stealthily bent over and took his phone from the table.
Gently, he squeezed the phone between his ear and his shoulder and said, âHello.
Yes, Edwin and Olivia are here with me.
Theyâre in my company.
What? Youâre downstairs?â
As Cecilia talked more, Markâs eyes slowly began to darken.
Meanwhile, Edwinâs face tightened as he forced himself to keep quiet.
After a while, Mark hung up the phone, and an eerie silence swept over them.
âYour mom is already downstairs.
Iâll walk you there,â he said after a while.
With wide eyes, Edwin stared at Mark and asked, âArenât you going back with us?â
Mark smiled and mussed Edwinâs hair, teasing, âYou silly boy.
â
After that, Edwin didnât ask anymore.
He quickly tidied himself up, patted his sisterâs back, and then carried his little backpack.
Mark was the one who held Olivia up.
As they alighted the elevator, Edwin asked out of the blue, âWhen will you pick us up again?â
The question caught Mark by surprise.
âIf you miss me, just call me and Iâll come pick you up,â he answered softly.
