Cecilia was not a naive girl anymore.
She thought she being here was already dropping hints to Mark.
But now, she wanted to make it even clearer.
Without making a noise, she walked over and hugged him from behind.

As soon as he felt her arms wrapped around him, Markâs body stiffened.
After a while, a gentle smile broke on his face.
âThis will still take some time.
Are you hungry already?â
She buried her face in Markâs back.
âMark,â she murmured.
âDo you want to clarify our relationship this time?â
Mark gulped as he nodded.
âHow about you be my girlfriend? That way, Iâll be under your scrutiny.
If you are not satisfied with me, then you can dump me any time you want.
â
As Cecilia heard these words, she almost burst into tears.
She pressed her face harder against his back and muttered, âDuring this period, I wonât be going on any blind date, while you are not allowed to be close to any married woman.
Got it?â
Mark smiled.
âGot it.
I have a girlfriend and Iâm not available anymore.
â
For a while, Cecilia remained silent.
At this moment, Mark was starting to feel his back moisten.
He turned around and held her hand.
âShh⦠Donât cry, Cecilia,â he comforted her in a hoarse, soothing tone.
âDonât cry.
â
Mark felt an urge to turn around.
But Ceciliaâs grip tightened, her embrace so intense that her nails dug into his skin.
Her body quivered uncontrollably.
In that instant, Markâs resolve wavered, and tears threatened to fall.
Life had thrown myriad challenges his way, teaching him to maintain a facade of tranquility.
However, the heartfelt sobbing of the woman he cherished shook his composure.
