After a long time, Mark stood up and left the room.

He found Cecilia in the guest room. She was standing by the bed with a bathrobe in her hands and seemingly conflicted about something.

Mark walked over, put his hands on her shoulders from behind, and whispered, "Go to sleep in the master bedroom. The three of us haven't slept in the same bed yet."

Cecilia slightly shook her head.

However, Mark tightly wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her thin shoulder, and said, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, Cecilia. I owe you a lot. Why won't you give me a chance to make it up to you?"

A tear rolled down Cecilia's cheek.

She cried quietly. Mark had abandoned her over and over again, and now, he was telling her that he still wanted her.

Mark felt bad.

He let her turn around so that she could face him. He wiped away her tears and kissed her.

"I won't do anything to you. Come sleep beside me and our son."

Cecilia wanted to ask a lot of questions, but in the end, all those questions stuck in her throat.

Mark held her hand and took her to the master bedroom.

He waited patiently for her to take a shower, and the three of them Lay in the same bed. He didn't touch her.

Edwin was sleeping between them.

Mark grabbed Cecilia's hand and played with her ring finger

Her fingers were Long and thin

Mark voice's was deep. Without meaning to, he treated Cecilia like a full-grown woman instead of a little girl who knew nothing of the world. He talked to her about a lot of things.

He talked to her about their future and Edwin's education.

With this, Cecilia felt something unreal. No matter how stubborn she was, she couldn't deny that she, too, had been waiting for this day.

But when this day was about to come, she was at a loss.

When Mark gave her a kiss, she slightly closed her eyes

Cecilia's body tensed up.
