The bond between Rena and Cecilia was strong, and together, they browsed through baby clothes, enjoying each other's company.

"WiLL you and Mark hold the wedding soon?"

Cecilia replied with a nod.

She then added, "It's set in May. Mark has been swamped lately."

Rena's response came with a cheerful grin.

Mark's company was in Duefron. Yet, his vast network in the northwest meant he often traveled there for work. Even in Duefron, he frequently drank and engaged in social activities.

Cecilia didn't complain.

She even once pointed out that with his connections, securing a more relaxed job would be a piece of cake.

However, Mark dismissed the idea. To him, it smacked of early retirement.

He minded their age gap, which led him to indulge in their intimate moments until midnight that day.

Cecilia pondered what to say next yet opted for silence.

Observing her hesitation, Rena queried, “Is something troubling you?"

Playing with a small garment in her hands, Cecilia confessed in a low tone, “Rena, I somehow feel the things between me and Mark have changed. I'm sure my love for him persists, as does his for me, but...

There's a sense of disbelief surrounding this joy."

Rena expressed her understanding of Cecilia's feelings.

In reality, her past life was certainly no better than Cecilia's.

Cecilia was certain about Mark's affection for her.

However, back then, Waylen's heart harbored another woman. The relationship between Rena and Waylen had endured numerous fights and challenges.

Rena gently hugged Cecilia, sayin "You will find the proper way to get along with him over the days

Cecilia's spirits lifted at her words.
