Cecilia wanted to change the topic so badly. She leaned on his shoulder and gently bit him, which only turned on Mark even more.

“In maybe like two years, you may have to rely on something Like Viagra to maintain your sexual function," Cecilia quipped.

Mark pinched her nose in turn and replied, “Then try me again in two years."

"Ouch! That hurts!" Cecilia cried.

Mark smiled and said nothing. Then, he pulled Cecilia closer to his arms. He Loved this woman and always treated her like his own little girl.

Drowning in his affection, Cecilia couldn't help but feel shy. At the same time, she loved how he treated her like his baby girl. She leaned against him, enjoying it and feeling embarrassed at the same time. After that, she lay on the bed as the two of them continued to talk.

When Cecilia asked Mark how he would deal with Elaine, his expression turned sullen. He kept quiet and refused to answer her question.

Cecilia was well aware of the situation.

She didn't want to know the details. No matter how cruel her punishment was, Elaine was the one who had asked for it.

Cecilia stayed with Mark in the hospital for another day.

When he was about to be discharged from the hospital, she thought of going back to Duefron directly, but he had other plans--He took her out on a trip. For an entire week that followed, they had each other only for themselves.

The private plane landed at the airport of Duefron as they finally returned.

Mark drove back by himself. Holding the steering wheel, he asked her, “Where are you going?"

Cecilia, who sat next to him, thought hard before answering, "I want to go back to my parents' place first. Olivia has been there for the past few days. We can then pick up Edwin from school together and then go to your place. I haven't seen your mother for a long time and I miss her."

Mark thought it was a good idea.

As he started the car, he stole a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye.

After relaxing for a few days, Cecilia looked rejuvenated. Her skin had its best glow yet.

Their trip seemed to have taken off years from her appearance.

The sight of her made Mark's heart skip a beat. It was a feeling of restlessness that he was very familiar with. He blew through his mouth and calmed himself down.

Finally, they arrived at the Fowler residence.
