Cecilia rose and headed off to refresh herself.
Meanwhile, Mark stood up too, giving the bed sheet a quick dust-off before getting ready to make the bed.
His attention was drawn to the stains on the sheet, causing a hint of warmth to color his handsome face.
Deciding it needed changing, he whisked the old sheet away and fetched a clean one from the wardrobe.
Just as he finished tucking in the new sheet, the bedroom door swung open.
In walked a little girl, wordlessly wrapping her arms around Markâs leg.
He gazed down to find Olivia leaning against him, silent, her brow creased and eyes glistening with unshed tears.
Feeling a tug at his heart, Mark gently scooped her up in one arm and sat on the bedâs edge, trying to soothe her.
Olivia, still haunted by the memory of the previous day, recalled the bitter medicine sheâd taken and its unpleasant consequences.

âYou smell just fine,â she whispered.
Olivia buried her face deeper into Markâs arms, comforted by her motherâs words.
Cecilia, with a gentle voice, inquired if Oliviaâs tummy was hurting.
The Little girl, comforted and secure, obediently shook her head no.
Looking up, Cecilia caught Markâs gaze.
They looked into each otherâs eyes, a connection forming that felt even more profound than their passionate encounter the night before.
The morningâs quiet enveloped them, with Olivia content in Markâs arms, and the coupleâs gaze lingering on each other, sharing unspoken words of love.
Suddenly, Oliviaâs expression changed.
She frowned and mumbled softly, âI need to poop again.
â
Markâs laughter filled the room, his amusement and affection for both mother and daughter evident in his joyful expression.
