Mark turned his gaze to Cecilia after posing his question.
A hint of red colored Ceciliaâs cheeks.
She moved closer, gently patting Oliviaâs plump bottom.
Olivia, clutching her pillow, was deep in slumber.
Ceciliaâs eyes softened.
She took a moment before responding to Mark, âWhy do you ask this?â
âWhat do you think prompted my question?â Mark replied with a smile.
A romantic mood filled the room, lightened only by the presence of their child.
Feeling the conversation was enough, Cecilia decided to leave.
As she turned to walk away, Mark grasped her waist, drawing her into his embrace.
Their bodies pressed together closely.
The looks they exchanged were intense, private.
Cecilia, who had once been bold and free-spirited, would wrap her arms around Markâs neck each night, whispering sweetly.

Eventually, he released her.
Once free, Cecilia straightened her dress, urging in a soft voice, âNow, please, control yourself.

Initially, Mark just wanted to playfully tease her.
However, noticing the redness in her eyes, his playful mood faded, replaced by a tone of concern.
âAre you worried about me?â he whispered.
Expecting her to deny it, he was surprised when she nodded, her honesty clear.
âIâm scared you might just drop dead.
â
Her statement, though born of frustration, betrayed her deep concerns.
They had enjoyed tender moments recently, but his health was a constant worry for her.
