Now she felt even more upset than ever.
Cecilia wanted to think for herself.
On Sunday, she spent the whole day with the kids.
The following week, Mark came to see them every other day.
But he didnât talk much with Cecilia, which only widened the rift between them even more.
It was the weekend again.
Mark drove to the Fowlersâ house.

The moment Olivia saw him, she ran to him.
Edwin was sitting at the door and doing his homework.
Mark entered the house with Olivia in his arms, sat beside Edwin, and asked softly, âWhereâs your mom?â
Edwin didnât respond.
One of the servants who was watching the children said, âShe is out of town filming.
She will be gone for a week.
â
Hearing this, Mark was a little stunned.
âCecilia went out of town to shoot a film and wouldnât be back for a whole week?â
She had never told him about it.
The servant smiled.
âYes, sir.
When her mother left, little Olivia cried and cried.
She was sad to see her mother go.
Youâve come just in time.
You can keep the children company.
â
Mark could only nod.
He asked the servant to make Olivia a cup of chamomile tea.
Then, Mark helped Edwin with his homework.
Since everything that happened, Edwin had only gone colder and colder to his father.
Staring at Edwin in silence, Mark said, âI should apologize to you for what happened that day.
â
Edwin just kept scribbling on his notebook with his pencil.
After a short pause, he replied, âIt doesnât matter.
Iâm used to it.
â
When he heard his sonâs words, Markâs heart sank.
He didnât say anything more.
He just sat there and silently accompanied Edwin.
But there was something that couldnât be redeemed no matter how hard he tried.
