"I know. I won't say it again." Despite the rejection, Mark's tone remained gentle.

Cecilia, on the other hand, was already exhausted of the whole thing.

Whenever she had to deal with Mark, she felt like she was always at the brink of losing her temper. Even though he would only say a few words, that was already enough for her to get agitated.

It shouldn't be like this. At least, she and Mark shouldn't be like this now.
