But wasn't Edwin also pitiful?

Edwin was old enough to go to school. But Mark hardly spent any time with his own son.

Her finger pointing at him, Zoey snapped, “Why did you come back here? You obviously don't care about your wife and son, or even your family's dignity. So why did you still come back home?"

Mark gently laid Laura down on the sofa, before he went to the head of Zoey's bed and knelt down.

He didn't say anything to defend himself, because he knew he had failed to do right by Cecilia and had let her down.

Zoey didn't even look at him.

Mark had hoped that Zoey would go to Duefron, but...

“You've made such an ugly scene today and embarrassed us all. I'm too ashamed to go to Duefron," Zoey spat angrily.

Meanwhile, Mark was still on his knees.

Rena felt pity for him and wanted to help him up.

But Waylen patted her hand to keep her quiet.

Then he looked at Mark and said, “Mark, you know that all this is useless and unnecessary right now. Before you left, Cecilia made it clear that she will have nothing to do with you from the moment you walked away from your own wedding."

Mark's face turned pale as he was reminded of Cecilia's promise.

"No one in the Fowler family blames you," Waylen continued.

"In fact, we simply believe that you and Cecilia are not meant for each other."

As Waylen said these things, Laura was watching Mark's face and she could see that his beautiful eyes had lost their Luster.

With gritted teeth, Mark got up and went outside with Laura in his arms.

He had known that Zoey would not accept this child. And if he wanted to get back together with Cecilia, he could not keep Laura around.

So, he took Laura to Duefron.

He bought a small villa and kept her there. Then he hired two servants to take care of her.
