It was a rare moment for the three of them to share such warmth. Tears welled up in Cecilia's eyes.

She had loved Mark deeply and resented him just as profoundly.

Yet, she couldn't deceive herself.

ALL these years, she had been waiting for Mark to provide her with a home...

Cecilia never concealed her emotions. Whether she was happy or sad, her feelings were always evident on her face.

Edwin held Cecilia's hand, his head held high, and asked softly, "Mommy, why are you crying?"

Cecilia felt a little embarrassed,

She replied with a slightly nasal voice, “I'm not crying."

Edwin seemed like he wanted to say more, but Mark bent down and lifted Edwin into his arms. He kissed the young boy and said, “I'll take my Edwin to kindergarten."

Edwin blushed a little. Mark then turned to Cecilia and remarked, "Your eyes are red. Go wash your face and touch up your makeup. A young lady should look beautiful when she goes out.”

Young lady.

Korbyn rolled his eyes, finding Mark rather audacious.

After all, Cecilia was already in her early thirties.

However, Juliette was touched by Mark's words and discreetly wiped away her own tears.

Although there were rooms for Cecilia and Edwin in the Fowler family's house, Juliette truly hoped that Cecilia and Edwin could find happiness. Now that Mark could finally be together with Cecilia, Juliette was thrilled.

With a warm smile, Juliette said, "Remember to come back for dinner after visiting the kindergarten. I'll prepare a few dishes myself."

Mark responded graciously, saying, “Thank you, Juliette."

Both Korbyn and Juliette were quite satisfied with the situation.

Cecilia, on the other hand, felt a bit self-conscious. She cast a sidelong glance at Mark with her reddened eyes and murmured, “It seems that you have already considered yourself as part of my family."

Mark chuckled softly.

He patted Cecilia's bottom playfully and advised, "Go upstairs and freshen up quickly."

With her parents present, Cecilia could only listen to him and headed upstairs to freshen up.
