Olivia playfully presented her diaper, seeking attention, while Edwin efficiently organized his belongings. Cecilia, despite being a mother of two, struggled to keep pace with everything.

Fresh from his shower and changed into comfortable clothes, Mark approached Cecilia. Noticing her slight struggle with the clothes, he gently took them from her, hanging them with care.

Having been apart for a week, Cecilia's yearning for Mark became evident when she saw him step out, looking renewed. Overwhelmed with emotion, she playfully embraced him from behind, whispering, "What would I do without you, Uncle Mark?"

Chuckling, Mark quipped, “I should probably pray for a longer life tomorrow at church."

Feigning annoyance, Cecilia retorted, "Oh, stop it!" But before she could say more, Mark gently shut the closet door, cupped her face, and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

Cecilia's back slammed against the wall, sending a twinge of pain through her.

But Mark was mere inches away, his kiss scorching her lips.

They had been enjoying a harmonious relationship in recent days, and the week-long separation had left them both yearning for each other's company.

The kiss seemed to stretch on endlessly.

Feeling the kiss intensify, Cecilia delicately leaned her head against Mark's shoulder, her cheeks flushed.

“We can't stay here too long. Edwin and Olivia are still outside. We're parents now, you know.

We need to be cautious."

Mark clasped Cecilia's hand, gently massaging it as he softly asked, "Do you still have menstrual cramps?"

Cecilia had been experiencing them since giving birth, so he was still worried about her.

Still blushing, Cecilia murmured, "I'm fine."

Then she urged him towards the door.

Pressing his body closer to hers, Mark exhaled, "I've missed you."

He kissed her once more before leaving the room.

Inside the cloakroom, Cecilia's cheeks remained a vivid shade of red.

When Mark emerged, he found Edwin staring intently at him. With a composed demeanor, Mark patted his son's head and said, "I'll treat you to seafood later."
