Cecilia pulled back her hand.

“I'm not kidding!"

With a tender grin, Mark said, “Don't we already have a little girl at home?" As he said this, he playfully tugged at her long hair.

Cecilia got the hint.

She blushed a bit, realizing her youthful days were now behind her.

“Do you feel embarrassed?"

After a little break, Mark became energetic and was itching to dive into some intimate moments.

Cecilia playfully nudged his arm and exclaimed, “I've got a big newsflash for you!"

Mark released her hand.

He rose from his seat, leisurely undoing his belt, almost as if preparing for a shower.

“What's the matter?"

Cecilia lifted her gaze toward him.

He shed his garments without hesitation, appearing just like his usual self.

She genuinely admired his audacious charm.

Nearly undressed, Mark cast a glance her way and teased, “Feeling tempted? Didn't you say you have something to tell me?"

Cecilia reclined and feigned focus on her script.

A moment later, she blurted out, slightly annoyed, “What do you say inviting Zoey over to live with us?"

Mark had already walked toward the bathroom, and his response drifted from within.

"Zoey's not fond of going out. She's content with her life in Czanch!

Yet, she adores you and Edwin. Maybe she will agree to come over if you invite her with enough enthusiasm."
