She held Markâs arm and gave it a gentle squeeze.
âRight now, Edwin and Olivia needs your presence even more,â she reminded him again.
âEspecially Edwin.
â
At the mention of his children, Mark sobered up and came to his senses.
He turned to Rena and mussed her long brown hair, his gesture filled with affection.
When Cecilia turned around, she happened to witness this scene.

She saw the love in Markâs eyes as he looked at Rena, which was only natural, considering that Mark was Renaâs uncle.
But at the same time, she couldnât help but think that Mark also used to look at her just like that.
Cecilia knew that she shouldnât be jealous, but the unease in her heart came just the same.
As a woman, Rena was sensitive to even the slightest change in the environment.
As such, she was able to capture the subtle thoughts running through Ceciliaâs mind.
Rena smiled and left.
She thought that if Mark and Cecilia truly loved each other, they would end up together in the end.
The premiere was about to begin.
Rena sat down.
After a while, Flora came over and sat beside her.
Flora kept batting her eyes, as if trying her best to hold back her tears.
Once the lights dimmed, she leaned closer to Rena and whispered, âYou know, Rena, I wasnât convinced that I would lose to a little girl until today.
Whenever I look at Mark tonight, I just know that Iâ1l never be better than Cecilia.
Thatâs because I have never seen Mark like this.
For her sake, he put down his own pride and self-esteem.
â
Rena patted the back of Floraâs hand and replied thoughtfully, âBut Flora, youâre also living a good life now.
â
Hearing someone else say that made Flora feel relieved.
Rena was right and she was indeed happy with her own little family.
Although her husband used to be a playboy, he was now fully committed to her and was very considerate.
On top of that, the children that were born out of their love were both lively and lovely.
There was no reason for her to feel dissatisfied.
This film was a small budget art film.
Since Flora was the leading female character, she was invited onstage quite a few times throughout the event.
Everyoneâs attention was on her.
The host that the Smith family had invited was naturally impolite.
