Chapter: 949
After regaining her composure, she replied, “I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Evans. Yes, I found out the night we broke up. I wanted to tell you but you then said we were not meant to be."

In truth, he didn't have to remind her of that. She knew deep down that their relationship wouldn't work out.

She had her own pride and dignity.

Mark had a multitude of captivating girlfriends, leaving Cecilia to wonder how stupid she was to believe she could actually hold his heart.

It was all her wishful thinking!

Cecilia turned around and graced them with a smile.

"Rena once said that if she couldn't have my brother completely, she wouldn't want him at all. She was now with him for Alexis' sake, as she needed care, and both her parents... But Mr. Evans, Edwin has grown up without a father and is in good health. We don't need to force ourselves into a relationship for Edwin's sake."

Her rationality had grown significantly.

“If you wish to see him, you can come to Duefron anytime. I won't stop you."

However, taking Edwin to Czanch was out of the question.

She had vowed never to return there for the rest of her life.

She expressed her thoughts extensively.

Mark remained silent, seated on the sofa, smoking...

Unlike his mother, he knew that having a child wasn't enough. He was aware that Cecilia's resentment toward him only intensified because of Edwin and that forgiveness was beyond reach.

Mark was no impulsive man; his current position was a testament to that.

Even in the face of love, the woman he deeply admired and his own flesh and blood, he retained his composure.

There were just too many aspects to consider.

After finishing his cigarette, he seemed to have weighed all possibilities and asked her softly, “Have you made your decision?"

Cecilia confirmed her decision.

Mark approached her, raising his hand with the intention of caressing her hair as he had done before. Yet, he hesitated and his hand remained suspended in the air...

After a prolonged moment, in a husky voice, he inquired, “Was it difficult for you out there on your own for two years?"

She nodded.
