He sounded very humble.

So, Cecilia said, "Okay. But don't take him outside."

Mark was astonished.

Cecilia had not blamed him outrightly, but her statement hinted at it.

"I won't," Mark murmured after a moment of silence.

Since Cecilia had something else to do, she turned around and left without saying another word. But Mark got up and went after her.

“Let me drive you," he offered when he caught up with her.

Cecilia had previously changed her clothes and was now putting on her shoes by the door. She looked up at him and said, "I can drive myself. And if I want someone to drive me, I'll simply hire a driver or call a cab."

Mark looked at her in silence, not knowing what to say.

After putting on her shoes, Cecilia straightened up and added, “Mark, I only let you in because of Edwin. I don't want him to have a negative impression of you at his age. Instead, I want him to... to believe his dad still loves him. But as for the two of us, it's over.

Don't try to ask for another chance."

Mark's face turned pale when he heard this.

He was still very much unwilling to put an end to their marriage.

And Cecilia wasn't even pressuring him to change his mind. She just lived on with her own life and kept taking care of Edwin.

She had even hired a nanny to help her look after the child whenever she was at work.

But there was no doubt whatsoever that his relationship with Cecilia had frozen over.

Nowadays, whenever he sent her messages, usually to talk about Edwin, Cecilia rarely replied.

So he resorted to calling her until she got tired of ignoring him and would be forced to pick up the phone. Their conversations usually consisted of only a few words, but he kept calling her every night, and this made Cecilia feel sad.

She felt he was just acting like he loved her very much.

Yet, at critical moments, he always abandoned her.
