"Our issue should be resolved in private. Don't cause a scene, okay? I've already called Zoey and told her you'll come and see her today. She's happy with it."

When Mark invoked Zoey's name, Cecilia remembered the kindness Zoey had been showing to her, and tears welled up immediately.

Cecilia sniffled before wiping her nose with the back of her hand.

After a long pause, she said, “I don't need you to drive me back tomorrow!"

Judging from her words, Mark already knew that words were now powerless to coax her.

He didn't say anything anymore. Instead, he simply carried her luggage and got into the car with them.

When they reached home, Zoey was already waiting for them.

As soon as Zoey saw the two, she immediately sensed the tension between them. Being a sensible woman, she chose to remain quiet.

After putting Cecilia's luggage down, Mark grabbed a stick of cigarette and lit it up.

He blew a thick cloud of smoke into the sky before turning to Zoey.

"Mom, take good care of them. I have to go back to the launching scene."

He still had problems there that he needed to sort out.

Zoey already knew what had happened thanks to Peter, but she chose not to say anything. Instead, she agreed and told him to resolve those problems quickly.

Before he could leave, Zoey told him, “Once you're done with things over there, start focusing on your family."

Her words compelled Mark to contemplate about his situation.

After letting out a heavy sigh, he took a step forward and proceeded into the darkness.

Meanwhile, although Cecilia was in a bad mood, she forced herself to cheer up. She took Edwin with her to have dinner.

Zoey wanted to take Edwin to the courtyard for some fun, but Cecilia refused.

“He is in a foul mood. Let me take care of him. I'll lull him to sleep."

Zoey nodded and decided to leave them alone.
