Mark craned his neck upwards and stared at the night sky.
It was a picturesque scene, with stars dotting the heavens.
But even so, Mark thought that Cecilia was much more beautiful than this.
He returned to the room to get his jacket and car keys.
As he was about to leave, Charlie and the others anxiously asked him to stay.
âPlay a Little longer!â they pleaded.
Mark flashed them a faint smile.
âCecilia is still mad at me,â he explained.
âI canât leave her alone.
â
Charlie burst into laughter and slapped the back of Markâs shoulder.
âMake sure to take care of her, okay? After all, she did give birth to two children for you.
â
Upon hearing this, Markâs smile faded a little.
When he left, he didnât even glance at Flora.
Although Flora no longer had a personal relationship with Mark for a long time, he still occupied a special place in her heart.
To her, Mark was the man she longed for the most.
So, for him to leave without even acknowledging her made her heart sink.
Charlie returned to the table and put down the cards, causing a soft clatter.
With a smile, he said, âPeopleâs feelings are wonderful, arenât they?
Youâre not worse than Cecilia.
Itâs just that you and Mark werenât meant for each other.
Besides, Mark is a complicated man.
A woman like Cecilia suits him perfectly.
â
At the mention of this, Floraâs eyes turned red.
Of course she knew that, but knowing it didnât make her any less sadder.
As expected by Mark, Cecilia had gone to Waylen and Renaâs house.
Since Rena seldom worked now, she had lots of time to take good care of the villa.
At night, the scent of freshly bloomed flowers filled the air in the yard.
However, Cecilia wasnât in the mood to appreciate them.
She even almost broke down in front of the children.
At that time, Alexis didnât want to play the piano.
She claimed that her head had been hurting from playing too much.
