Tears streamed down Cecilia's cheeks as she said this.

But all through this speech, she kept her gaze on Mark.

It was not three years, four years, or even five years.

Cecilia had loved Mark for a very long time.

She had never for once thought of putting an end to that love even in the most difficult times in her life.

But on their wedding day, just because of this phone call, she had decided to give up completely on her love for him.

Mark felt this was unfair and he was very saddened by it.

Nevertheless, he clenched his fists and said, "I'll be back."

Cecilia simply smiled lightly, knowing fully well that he had made up his mind to go, and so had she.

Zoey, on the other hand, was trembling with anger.

She stepped forward and slapped Mark on the face.

"Mark, if you dare take a step out of this place, I'll take Cecilia and Edwin away and never come back. You really are something. You want to disappoint Cecilia and Edwin because of that woman? Don't you know that you owe Cecilia so much over the years?"

It was clear to see how disappointed she was in Mark. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she scolded him.

But it still wasn't enough to keep Mark.

He was worried about the life of that little innocent girl.

Before leaving, he glanced at Cecilia and told her again to wait for him.

All of a sudden, he heard Rena cry out, "Uncle Mark!"

Mark paused. Her cry brought tears to his eyes, but it still didn't stop him.

Rena closed her eyes and shook her head sadly as she saw him leave.

Waylen put his arm around Rena's shoulder to prevent her from falling.
