Under the sun, his beige sweater made him look handsome and easy- going.
Cecilia moved closer.
Waylen then put his arm around her shoulder.
Then, in a gentle tone, he asked her, âYou still like Mark, donât you?â
Suddenly, Ceciliaâs heart skipped a beat.
Her eyes began to moisten.
Seeing this, Waylen patted her head gently.
âYour sister-in-law asked me to come here.
Sheâs worried about you.
â
At this point, it took everything within Cecilia to stop herself from crying.
Waylen studied her face and remarked, âI donât remember having a big whining baby for my sister.
âOh, youâre no better than me,â Cecilia retorted.
Waylen scowled and sneered at her.
Cecilia giggled before chickening out of their banter.
After a while, she gently leaned her head against her brotherâs broad shoulder and muttered, âWaylen, I canât keep fooling myself.
I want to move on, but I also canât let go of the past.
â
Waylen mussed her hair, comforting her without needing to say anything.
These past few days, he had been watching Thomas and Cecilia from afar.
From that alone, he could already tell that the two of them werenât a good match.
Instead of torturing each other in the future, it would be better for them to break up now.
Thomas might be rational, but he didnât love Cecilia enough.
After the two of them broke up, Cecilia was slightly saddened by it.
After all, they did get along with each other, even just for a short while.
Now that they were split up, their respective families must have been given instructions.
News spread quickly in the upper class, and by noon, it had already reached Mark.
This was beyond Markâs expectation.
Thomas and Ceciliaâs breakup happened too fast!
Peter closed the door and said in hushed tones, âIt was Thomas who took the initiative.
â
At the mention of this, Mark remembered how he had met Thomas by chance this morning.
Mark was good at reading peopleâs mind.
He guessed that that was the reason why they broke up.
Although Mark wanted this to happen, the end result didnât make him happy.
The reason for Ceciliaâs failed relationship all led back to him.
If it werenât for their failed marriage, if she hadnât given birth to two children with him, no sane man would ever refuse her, and no one would dare to criticize her.
