And what was he doing now?

She was merely meeting new people and talking to them, while he was in close quarters with another woman.

Mark’s cards clattered to the floor as he sprinted after Cecilia. A flustered Charlie attempted an apology.

“I’m sorry, Mark. I meant well, but it just backfired. I never anticipated Flora would be so impulsive.”

Mark brushed past Charlie, focused solely on Cecilia.

Flora’s complexion shifted between pale and flushed.

They had been friends for years and occasionally joked around Like this.

Flora knew there was no real intimacy between her and Mark.

Realizing Cecilia had misinterpreted the situation, Flora resolved to clarify things on Mark’s behalf at a later time.

Mark, meanwhile, hastened to catch up with Cecilia just as she reached the door.

As she was about to open her car door, Mark grasped her arm.

With a determined pull, he drew Cecilia into his embrace.

Cecilia resisted, her fists lightly beating against his chest.

“Release me, Mark. Please.”

But Mark held on.

Employing all his strength, he enveloped her in his arms.

He sought her gaze, but she evasively turned away. Her voice was a soft plea.

“Please, don’t create a scene. Release me.”

With one hand securing her, Mark used the other to gently tilt her chin.

He compelled her to face him.

His voice was low and raspy, betraying his emotion.

“You claimed you didn’t want to reconcile, that we were finished. Why, then, do tears fall seeing me with another? Have you not ceased to care, Cecilia?”

“Quit taunting me. I avoid your gaze solely to spare my sight,” she countered sharply.

Yet, she averted her eyes, cheeks flushed in mortification.

Despite her bravado, tears coursed down her cheeks.

The exchange, achingly reminiscent of times past, unsettled her.

Despite her reluctance to relent and her inability to break free, their confrontation drew attention at the club entrance.

Given her status, she was acutely aware of the public’s eyes on them.

Collecting herself, she managed, “There’s no point in mutual recriminations. Release me. Return to your companions; they await your presence.”

“Is your indifference genuine?” Mark sought confirmation.

Her nod was resolute.

He persisted, “Understand, Flora is married. She holds no special place in my life.”

This revelation only heightened Cecilia’s distress. Her voice trembling, she asserted, “Your liaisons are not my concern.”

With a forceful shove, she freed herself, climbed into her car, and left without a backward glance.

Mark, fraught with worry, rapped gently on the window.

“Take care on the road. We’ll converse on this anon.”

As she drove off, Charlie emerged, just in time to observe her retreat.

He brushed his lips, musing aloud, “Her temper remains as fiery as ever. Mark, is such vivacity common among the youth?”

His smile was laced with suggestive undertones.

Mark’s only reaction was a fleeting glance as he produced a lighter from his confines.

He toyed with the device, lost in thought.

Eventually, his words were barely audible.

“My affection for her leaves no room for others.”

Charlie, somewhat disconcerted, confessed, “Your romantic inclinations are a revelation.”

That night, Mark reached out to Rena.

“Cecilia might seek your company. Please, be there for her. Indeed, I’m the cause of her distress.”

As Mark hung up the phone, Charlie leaned over and patted his shoulder.

“I’m really sorry. What if I ask Cecilia out some other day? Then perhaps you can explain things to her?”

Mark craned his neck upwards and stared at the night sky.

It was a picturesque scene, with stars dotting the heavens.

But even so, Mark thought that Cecilia was much more beautiful than this.

He returned to the room to get his jacket and car keys. As he was about to leave, Charlie and the others anxiously asked him to stay.

“Play a Little longer!” they pleaded.

Mark flashed them a faint smile.

“Cecilia is still mad at me,” he explained.

“I can’t leave her alone.”

Charlie burst into laughter and slapped the back of Mark’s shoulder.

“Make sure to take care of her, okay? After all, she did give birth to two children for you.”

Upon hearing this, Mark’s smile faded a little.

When he left, he didn’t even glance at Flora.
