Yet, he opted to walk past them without confrontation.
Dylanâs gaze grazed Edwin, but he chose not to acknowledge him, treating him as inconsequential.
It was only after he had walked a considerable distance and turned a corner that Edwin finally unclenched his fists.
Neither Edwin nor Cecilia uttered a word.
After a prolonged silence, Cecilia remarked, âI believe I saw that child just now.
â The mention of Laura remained a sensitive subject, so Cecilia always refrained from naming her directly.
Edwin tucked his hands into his pockets and offered a faint smile.
âDid you? I didnât even notice.

After obtaining the medication, Cecilia brought up Laura once more.
âI heard from Lina that sheâs become a successful designer and even won a prestigious award.

Cecilia sighed wistfully.
âThatâs wonderful.

Edwin remained reticent, walking Cecilia back to the car, where Tina waited.

Edwin snorted in amusement.
âIâm leagues behind him.
â
Cecilia affectionately touched Edwinâs face and said, âThe past is behind us.
No need to dwell on it.
Your dad wouldnât be pleased to hear you speak that way.
â
Edwin smiled and closed the car door.
The black limousine gradually pulled away, and the smile quickly faded from his face.
Edwin found himself unable to explain the overwhelming melancholy that gripped him, nor could he rationalize the unease that flooded him at the sight of Dylan beside Laura.
After all, he had already severed ties with Laura, and it was only a matter of time before they each found solace in the arms of someone new.
