Chapter: 1814
The crowd burst into cheers as they watched the rocket get launched into orbit.
Its tail flame illuminated every face, but when the light fell on
Cecilia's, tears were streaming down her eyes.
Cecilia stood there, motionless, while her knees trembled beneath her weight.
In a daze, she stared at Mark whom she loved the most holding a little girl while laughing with Cathy.
It was at this point that Cecilia regretted ever coming here.
ALL this time, had Mark been in touch with Cathy and this unknown child? Although she wasn't sure whose child this one belonged, they did look like a family once they were all together.
Meanwhile, Edwin kept tugging at her sleeve, calling her “mommy” Like a lost kitten.
The sound of his voice snapped Cecilia out of her daze, and when she looked down at him, his face made her calm down.
She was no longer that naive young girl.
Not only was she Mark's future wife, she was also Edwin's mother.
Cecilia looked at Mark, who also happened to be looking at her, and felt conflicted.
Then, with Edwin in her arms, she turned around and walked away without ever looking back.
It was only then that Mark snapped to his senses. From the look on
Cecilia's face, he could already tell that Cecilia had misunderstood his relationship with Cathy. With this in mind, Mark immediately put down the little girl and hurriedly ran after Cecilia.
"Mark!" Cathy shouted to no avail.
Mark just kept on running until his figure disappeared into the crowd.
Separating him and Cecilia were a sea of people. He tried pushing through them as he shouted, "Cecilia, wait!"
When Cecilia heard his voice, she quickened her pace.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Peter rushed over.
