Mark knew Zoey wanted Cecilia to stay the night.

He smiled subtly and said, "Let's have Edwin fitted for his clothes tomorrow. Cecilia isn't feeling well. I'll take her to the room first."

Zoey was surprised and asked, "Is she on her period?"

Mark vaguely confirmed it, and Cecilia blushed with embarrassment.

She wasn't on her period at all. He was just making up excuses.

Mark handed two bags to his son.

“These are for you and your grandma."

After that, he took Cecilia back to their bedroom. He wanted to have a good conversation with her. Regardless of the conflict caused by Cathy, he knew they had to talk through it.

It was a cold day. Since Mark said Cecilia wasn't feeling well, Zoey decided to make some ginger tea for her.

Zoey went to the kitchen to prepare the ginger tea, while Mark led Cecilia into their bedroom.

He closed the door behind them, but Cecilia didn't want to go in.

She leaned against the door, her eyes red, and said, "I'll sleep in Zoey's room."

Mark gently touched Cecilia's face and asked, "Don't you like it here?

You seemed very excited last night, quite different from before."

Mark pressed his body against Cecilia's.

Despite wearing a coat, Cecilia could still feel his body temperature.

Mark's body was too scorching for her, especially his growing bulge in his crotch under his pants.

Her knees buckled a little as she sensed his arousal.

When she looked up at him nervously, she saw lust in his eyes.

She was still mad at him, tears in her eyes. How could he still feel aroused?
