Waylen opened it, his surprise evident, but he maintained a courteous attitude.

Waylen appeared to have forgotten the intense confrontation in Czanch. His demeanor exuded warmth, akin to a gentle spring breeze, as he poured a glass of water for Mark.

While discussing Alexis’ condition as usual, Waylen eventually mentioned, "In fact, if you had arrived half an hour earlier, you would have seen Cecilia.”

Holding the cup delicately, Mark hesitated briefly before replying, "I did see her. We had tea together."

Casually leaning against the sofa, Waylen smiled, "Tea for Cecilia? Not Slurpees? You two are so different. | still can't fathom how you ended up together all those years ago... You two. don't match at all.”

Waylen's words disgusted Mark.

Putting down the glass, Mark maintained a smile.

"Regardless, | have a child with her, Edwin. One night together forged a lifelong bond. What | share with her still exists. But | must admit, | greatly admire you. If you and Rena reconcile, you'll have two weddings in one go... |can't compare to that. Ha ha!"

Waylen nonchalantly flipped through some documents...

He glanced back at Mark, who was calmly sipping on his water like an old master.

Waylen remarked lightly, "There's no need to envy me. Our family is quite open-minded. We won't use Edwin to control you, so you're free to continue your carefree lifestyle... As for Cecilia, my mother has arranged a blind date for her and she agreed."

Blind date...

Mark's grip on the glass caused his fingers to pale.

Waylen noticed and smiled.

Mark also forced a smile.

Fortunately, Alexis woke up. As she sat up, rubbing her eyes, she called out to Mark.

Mark truly adored Alexis.

Despite feeling uneasy, he walked to her bedside, lifted Alexis into his arms, kissed her gently, and then retrieved a talisman from his pocket and placed it around her neck.

Mark had specially purchased the talisman for Alexis.

Waylen had a keen eye and noticed this gesture. He said calmly, "You're so thoughtful.”

With Alexis in his embrace, Mark asked Waylen in a hushed tone about Elvira's upcoming court date. Waylen provided him with all the relevant information.

Mark pondered for a moment and whispered, “Just to be safe, I'll use my connections."
