One of the servants who was watching the children said, "She is out of town filming. She will be gone for a week."

Hearing this, Mark was a little stunned.

"Cecilia went out of town to shoot a film and wouldn't be back for a whole week?"

She had never told him about it.

The servant smiled.

"Yes, sir. When her mother left, little Olivia cried and cried. She was sad to see her mother go. You've come just in time. You can keep the children company."

Mark could only nod.

He asked the servant to make Olivia a cup of chamomile tea.

Then, Mark helped Edwin with his homework.

Since everything that happened, Edwin had only gone colder and colder to his father.

Staring at Edwin in silence, Mark said, "I should apologize to you for what happened that day."

Edwin just kept scribbling on his notebook with his pencil.

After a short pause, he replied, "It doesn't matter. I'm used to it."

When he heard his son's words, Mark's heart sank.

He didn't say anything more. He just sat there and silently accompanied Edwin.

But there was something that couldn't be redeemed no matter how hard he tried.

Edwin seemed to have developed a psychological defense against Mark.

Edwin cared about Mark.

But he would no longer open his heart to him easily.

Mark was disappointed, but at this point, he could only swallow his bitterness and endure the cold shoulder Edwin was giving him. His kindness to Edwin didn't seem to have any effect anymore.
