She found Cecilia sitting in front of the dressing table, looking Lost in thought.

Rena crept in and took the object Cecilia held in her hand, which turned out to be a girlish diamond ring.

She knew that it was a present from her uncle.

With a smile, she asked, “Have you made a decision?”

Cecilia shook her head, uncertain.

Knowing they shared a close bond, she confided, “Rena, I love him. But the pain I endured over the past few years was real. If I directly accept him now, he will think that he can treat us casually. I don’t want this to happen.”

Rena put the ring back gently and held Cecilia in her embrace, patting her on the shoulder.

“Both your brother and I hope you can be happy,” she said softly.

As for whether she would go back to Mark or not, Rena sensed that Cecilia already knew what she should do.

Just then, Waylen finished talking to his father and came to find Rena.

He saw his sister in tears. Standing at the door, he lit a cigarette.

Taking a drag, he asked nonchalantly, “Are you sad for that old man again?”

“Waylen!” Rena’s voice quivered as she bit her lip.

Waylen took another puff and exhaled the smoke slowly, smiling. “You and your uncle are completely different. He’s cursed me so many times, but you never blamed him.”

Hearing this, Rena didn’t say anything more.

Fearing it might affect their relationship, Cecilia quickly assured them that she was fine.

Waylen Looked at her, then wrapped his arm around Rena’s shoulder and said gently, “Well, it’s time to go home. The kids are having fun Cecilia, you and Edwin can stay here.”

Cecilia nodded, watching them leave.

As the house fell silent, she sat down again, staring at the diamond ring in a daze.

Her phone suddenly rang.

The ringing pierced the quiet night, and the call was from Mark.

After hesitating for a moment, Cecilia answered the call.

The other end was quiet. Mark’s voice sounded a little hoarse as he asked, “Have you made up your mind?”

Cecilia sniffed, trying to hold back her emotions.

“Are you asking if I’ve decided to watch the ceremony or live together with you? Mark, I haven’t made up my mind about either of those things. Please give me some time.”

Mark chuckled softly, his voice low and hoarse. “You seem more like an adult now. Cecilia, I was too impatient last night. I just wanted to share the news. Edwin was there last night, so it was inconvenient to talk with you. Let’s have a conversation sometime, okay?”

“No,” she replied in a nasal voice.

Mark knew her so well that he could sense she wanted to cry.

He empathized with her, knowing that a woman with so much going for her, abandoned by him, and waiting for him in secret for years would naturally feel sad.

He didn’t press her to continue the topic and changed the subject.

In a relaxed tone, he said, “It’s winter now. The wisteria flowers in the house have fallen, but they’ll bloom again next year! Cecilia, did you hear me?” He continued, “Zoey just sent me a bowl of midnight snack. She knows I don’t like eating midnight snack! She’s becoming more and more overbearing, always telling me not to eat too much and reminding me that I need to maintain my physique to impress young ladies. Zoey misses you and Edwin very much. She even made two pairs of cloth shoes for Edwin. I’ll bring them here later.”

Cecilia sobbed.

The days they spent in Czanch a few years ago held some of the best memories for her and Mark.

Despite the hardships they faced and the pain she endured, reminiscing about that time now brought a sense of solace.

Tears continued to stream down her cheeks as Mark gently coaxed her, “Come here with Edwin, okay? I’ll take you to eat all the delicious food in Czanch and go shopping together. We can take him to visit my relatives. He is so adorable that my relatives will definitely Like him.”

Cecilia’s emotions overwhelmed her, and she cried even harder.

Mark had always possessed the ability to evoke deep emotions in her, bringing back both beautiful and painful memories.

He was intertwined with all the moments that had shaped her Life.

Unable to find the right words to say, Cecilia decided to end the call without saying goodbye, leaving Mark on the other end of the line, Lost in contemplation.

These years had been a source of pain for Cecilia, but it was also a deep regret for him. Learning that she had a child alone almost broke his heart.

He couldn’t help but acknowledge that he loved her more than anything, and falling for her was inevitable.

Mark gently placed his phone down and stood by the window, feeling the cold wind on his face.

He knew he owed this woman so much, and this feeling of regret and longing would stay with him forever.

It was late at night.

Waylen drove the black limousine steadily on the road. The children were tired and sleeping in the back seat.

Waylen turned his head to look at Rena.

She was quietly leaning against the back of the passenger seat and looking out the window.

“Are you still angry?”

Waylen gently held her hand.

Rena smiled. “How could I be angry? Please focus on driving.”

Waylen let go of her hand and stared intently at the traffic ahead.

After a long time, he whispered, “The feelings between Mark and Cecilia are complicated, Rena.”

They could have been two people whose respective worlds didn’t intersect.

They could have gone back to being strangers after a one-night stand.
