Suddenly, Edwin looked around and said with a frown, "Dad's birthday is too cold and cheerless.”

The poor child didn't feel happy staying in this place.

He was also a little scared of Mark, which was not a surprise since they were not very close because they hardly ever spent much time together.

Mark was sad to hear his son say this.

He rubbed the little boy's hair and asked him, “Don't I have you with me?"

“Happy birthday," Edwin reluctantly murmured.

Then he kept quiet.

Mark cut a piece of cake for him, but Edwin was not in the mood to eat. After holding the cake in his hand for a while, he said to his father, “ALL the kids are picked up and dropped off at school by their parents. Dad, is Mom going to divorce you? Is that why you don't come to pick me up together anymore?"

Mark didn't answer at first. Instead, he quietly cut a piece of cake for himself.

Usually, he didn't eat these things, but today, he felt like having a bite.

But his son's words had him thinking.

Clearly, the boy had learned that his parents were going to be separated.

So Mark told him in a hoarse voice, "No. We won't divorce."

Edwin was not very happy to hear this because he felt it was a lie.

He could already see that his parents were not together. His mother had even moved out with him.

Feeling depressed, Edwin lowered his head and began to nimble at the cake listlessly.

When Mark saw this, he relented and touched Edwin's head affectionately. He could see that the boy was stubborn just Like his mother.

Truly, Mark's birthday celebration, if it could be called a celebration, was especially quiet due to the fact that only two people were involved.

This was one of the things that saddened Edwin the most and made him so quiet and cold.

After sharing the cake, Mark left Edwin so the boy could do his homework. He then went straight to his study and sat down. He had so many business decisions to make, but when he opened his laptop and turned it on, he couldn't read a word.
