Chapter: 998
He kissed Alexis lovingly.

He vowed never to let Rena or Alexis suffer at the hands of that deranged woman again...

Two sunrises later, Alexis bid farewell to the hospital's care. @

Korbyn orchestrated an exquisite family gathering. Given that Mark being on a business trip in Duefron, Korbyn extended a gracious invitation, never truly anticipating Mark's presence...

Upon arrival, Mark brought along some delightful toys for Edwin.

However, Edwin appeared rather distant, continuously cradled in Cecilia's arms, displaying a timid demeanor.

Mark couldn't help but feel a touch of disappointment.

He gazed at Cecilia, his eyes brimming with emotion, and voiced, "You ought to mention me more frequently. The boy seems distant from me."

With a warm smile, Juliette chimed in, "Spending more time together will surely bring you closer. Edwin is such a good-natured boy."

Korbyn decided to be the bigger man, urging Mark to join him for a drink. Waylen, too, was present.

Mark was nobody's fool.

Korbyn demonstrated remarkable flexibility, being kind to Mark despite the fact he had impregnated his beloved daughter. The reason behind this kindness extended beyond Rena; it was also about the valuable resources Mark held in Czanch.

Whenever Mark needed something, all he had to do was ask or sign and resources would flow his way.

Seeking to make amends with Cecilia, Mark was willing to comply with whatever Korbyn requested, even succumbing to the pressure of drinking, which hadn't happened in over a decade.. ©

Indeed, who would dare to force Mark into drinking?

During social events, it was always his secretary-assistant who indulged in the wine, leaving Mark untouched.

As Mark departed, Rena saw him off into his car.

Once the car disappeared from view, Rena returned to her own vehicle, where Waylen awaited her.

Leaning against the car, he smoked with a regal and elegant poise.

Approaching him with a sense of helplessness, Rena spoke, "You and Dad make quite the team. My uncle nearly drank himself to the brim."

Waylen glanced at her, smiling playfully.

"Are you worried about him?"
