Not content with her absent-mindedness, Mark playfully pinched her waist and, in a hoarse voice, asked, âWhatâs on your mind? Arenât you ready to commit to me entirely now?â
Cecilia understood his frustration.
However, she wasnât ready to rush into getting married again.
It all felt too hasty.
Recalling their past, Cecilia believed that she and Mark should allow their relationship to develop naturally and give it some time.
Additionally, she was determined to be more cautious this time, especially with Olivia being so young.
She didnât want Edwin to be disappointed again.
To her surprise, Cecilia discovered a dazzling diamond ring in Markâs bathrobe pocket.
She took it out and admired its exquisite, costly appearance.
Sliding it onto her finger, it looked stunning on her slender hand.
Mark gazed at her silently.
Cecilia, wanting to convey her intentions, moved closer, sitting on his lap with her arm around his neck.
She then removed the ring from her ring finger and placed it on her middle finger.
Mark comprehended her unspoken message, leaving him torn between elation and disappointment.
Unable to resist his surging emotions, he ki*sed her lips and gently guided her to the bed.
Cecilia, feeling slightly uneasy, softly murmured, âPlease turn off the Lights.
â
Her fear was that Olivia would wake up and witness her parents in an intimate state.
Mark stretched out to switch off the lights with a snap.

It seemed that Oliviaâs presence was causing Cecilia to hold back, as she bit Markâs shoulder without making a sound.
Mark felt her discomfort and whispered in her ear, âAre you comfortable?â
âYes,â Cecilia replied, her voice quivering.
Mark, increasingly impatient and unsatisfied, eventually gave in.
He carried Cecilia to the walk-in closet.
They made love there for the better part of the night.
In the morning, Mark got up to prepare breakfast.
Cecilia, awake by then, shivered as he ki*sed her lips, too shy to open her eyes.
Mark recognized her vulnerability but didnât expose it.
