Her eyes welled up with tears.

Mark didn't say anything further and said in a hushed voice, "I'm going to buy the milk powder."

Cecilia didn't feel at ease until he left.

She sat down in a daze. She couldn't quite decipher her feelings for Mark at this point, but she knew that seeing him alive was enough.

She didn't want to think about anything else.

So, she had no objections to her family arranging her date with Thomas.

Mark had returned.

Thus, Cecilia thought she needed to find something to occupy herself.

Mark decided to drive out by himself.

Waylen had offered to go instead due to the heavy rain.

Mark put on his coat and replied, “It's alright."

With an umbrella in hand, he walked to the car and got in.

Edwin had just finished school and saw Mark.

Mark said to him, “I'm going to buy some milk powder for your sister.

Would you like to come with me? We can have dinner outside."

Edwin hesitated.

While it used to be exciting for him to drive with his father and dine alone with him, things were different now.

Edwin felt torn.

He finally said, "I need to do my homework."

Mark looked disappointed.
