Cecilia offered, “I'll reach out to the doctor for you. You can visit Laura at the hospital."

Mark hesitated briefly.

He had initially intended to enjoy the weekend with Cecilia and the kids.

Cecilia smiled warmly.

"Tomorrow is another day. If you can't make it tomorrow, there will be countless weekends ahead."

There was a tacit understanding between them.

As long as Mark was by her side, Cecilia was willing to compromise on anything.

Mark nodded in agreement.

Mark changed his attire and headed downstairs. In the living room, he spotted Edwin engrossed in his homework.

Upon Mark's arrival, Edwin lifted his gaze.

Then he nervously inquired, “Dad, are you going out?"

Mark contemplated the best approach and decided not to deceive Edwin.

He replied, “I'm going to visit a little girl, but I'll be back for lunch with you."

Edwin accepted his response and resumed his homework.

However, his tiny fists remained tightly clenched.

Mark squatted down, ruffled Edwin's hair, and suggested, “Your mom has given her permission. How about joining me?"

“I need to finish my homework,"

Edwin responded, his expression icy.

Mark gave Edwin's head another gentle pat before heading out.

As soon as Mark was gone, Edwin put down his pen.
