Mark chimed in, "Peter and Lina are with her now."

Alexis nodded.

Despite his frail health, Mark appeared visibly annoyed. Lighting a cigarette, he vented to Waylen, “Dealing with the Smith family is already tough. We can't afford to be openly hostile! Our relatives in Czanch are also against Edwin and Laura's marriage. It's chaos back at home. I told them the marriage is happening, and if they object, they should take it up with my mother."

Waylen listened, his expression faintly amused.

Mark always had a soft spot for his son.
