After a while, she spoke in a soft voice.

“Mark, you don‘t want to reveal our relationship, do you?”

Mark gently patted her head, offering comfort. In his eyes, Cecilia was still the same naive girl.

When she felt wronged, she would voice her complaints to him, which he found endearing,

In the dimly lit car, he promised softly, “I won’t do that again, Cecilia. Let’s be together openly.”

In his heart, he added that as long as Cecilia didn’t reject him.

Even though he spoke in a gentle tone, Cecilia couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness,

At this moment, her phone rang; it was Waylen. He asked her where she was and informed her that dinner was ready.

Cecilia was overwhelmed with nerves, momentarily unable to speak.

Mark took her phone and calmly said, “It’s me, Waylen, I’m taking her out for dinner and will drop her off at her apartment afterward

After a brief pause, he hung up the phone and looked at Cecilia.

For a moment, he didn’t say anything, Then he gently asked, “Are you still angry with me? Would you accept my apology, Cecilia?”

Cecilia’s lips quivered, but she remained silent.

Mark’s heart felt heavy. He knew he had disappointed her many times, and she couldn’t easily accept him.

He didn’t try to defend himself; instead, he simply held her hand.

Cecilia struggled for a while but eventually stopped resisting. She had no choice but to compromise.

Not for Edwin, but for the man she truly loved. Mark had already prepared a birthday gift for Edwin.

His main intention was to take Cecilia to a private room at the restaurant where they first fell in love.

This arrangement had also been organized by Peter, who was waiting in the room.

Cecilia’s eyes welled up with tears.

Mark wiped them away and coaxed her in a soft voice, saying, crying again? You should set an example for our son.” Why are you

“Screw you!” Cecilia playfully kicked him.

Peter chuckled quietly and greeted Cecilia, “Cecilia, please have a seat here

Mark knew that Peter was watching the fun, He took off his coat and draped it over the back of the chair, playfully apologizing.

After a while, she spoke in a soft voice.

Mark knew that Peter was watching the fun, He took off his coat and draped it over the back of the chair, playfully apologizing.

“Peter, I’m sorry you had to witness this.”

Peter warmed up some alcohol for them.

Always good at lightening the atmosphere, he said with a smile, “Cecilia is younger. Mr. Evans, it’s natural for you to treat her better.”

Mark coughed and muttered, “You’re getting more and more talkative.”

He turned to Cecilia and spoke softly.

“Take off your coat. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold when we leave

Peter continued naturally, “See, Cecilia, Mr. Evans adores you the most

Cecilia’s eyes shimmered with emotions. She quipped on purpose, “That’s because he’s getting old!”

Mark was putting food on her plate. When he heard her complaint, his actions paused.

A gentle smile played on his lips, and he whispered in a low voice that only they could hear, “It seems I haven’t been serving you well. It’s all my fault. I promise, I will make it up to you tonight.”

Hearing his flirty words, Cecilia thought he was truly shameless.

Their relationship had endured numerous hardships, and they no longer needed to hide their feelings. Peter was lightly teasing at the table, and Cecilia didn’t react.

However, Mark could sense that she didn’t mind it.

Mark wasn’t a callous man. The more tender she was, the more he felt guilty.

He knew he owed her a great deal.
