Seeking solace, she sought her brother's company.

Feeling aggrieved, her lips trembled as she rested her head on her brother's shoulder.

Looking down at Cecilia, Waylen asked softly, "Are you tired?"

Cecilia nodded and then she held onto her brother's waist.

The bond between the siblings appeared so intimate that it caused Mark's eyelids to twitch.

Never had he imagined feeling jealous of Waylen one day.

Flora, observing Mark's reaction, experienced a sense of contentment.

Seizing an opportunity to approach Waylen, she greeted him with a coquettish air, "Mr. Fowler, you and your sister share such a close bond that it makes others envious.”

Waylen made no attempt to hide his true feelings when interacting with women.

Flora, undeterred by Waylen's cold demeanor, instead grew increasingly enthusiastic.

She observed the pained expression on Cecilia's face and suggested, "| know a few talented young men. After pondering for a moment, | believe they would be suitable for Miss Fowler.

How about we arrange a meeting over coffee sometime?"

Coincidentally, Mark approached the group at this moment.

Flora clasped Mark's hand and asked affectionately, "Mark, what do you think?”

Mark's gaze remained fixed on Cecilia.

With tears glistening in her eyes, Cecilia cast her gaze upon him...

After a prolonged moment, Mark's lips curved into a gentle smile as he spoke up in a soft tone.

"It's time to find a suitable man for Cecilia to marry. Waylen, you should ask your parents to help select some promising candidates for her."

At this particular moment, Waylen still held a certain apprehension towards Mark, whose influence wielded great weight over Waylen and Rena's future.

Consequently, Waylen nodded, tenderly caressed Cecilia's head, and said, "It's indeed about time for her to explore romantic relationships."

Cecilia's countenance turned pallid.

As she stared at Mark, anger surged within her, causing her teeth to tremble. Nevertheless, she restrained her emotions in public and replied with a bright smile, "I will heed Uncle Mark's advice.”
