Chapter 2132 In truth, a little distance between them had a way of strengthening their bond.
When someone was plagued by longing, a simple phone call or a few sweet words could provide lasting satisfaction.
Cecilia understood that Mark enjoyed those moments just as much as she did.
Time swiftly passed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few years went by, and Edwin returned to Evans Gardon during his summer vacation as a high school freshman.
At sixteen, Edwin had shot up to a towering six feet. He wasn't just tall and handsome; he was also one of the most popular kids in his school.
From his early years into adolescence, Edwin had received a plethora of love letters, enough to fill a bookcase.
Yet, he showed no interest in pursuing romantic relationships.
One day, Cecilia overheard Mark mentioning that the Smith family had expressed an interest in a union with the Fowler family. However, since Leonel wasn't Waylen's biological son and Marcus was younger than the Smith family’s daughter, they had eventually turned their attention to Edwin.
Cecilia had met the young lady from the Smith family, who was an outstanding individual.
But considering Edwin's young age, Cecilia believed it was too early for him to engage in a relationship.

Time had treated Mark kindly, and he hadn't aged significantly; instead, he had grown more refined as time went by.
Edwin nodded, affirming his intentions.
“Yes, both Leonel and | wish to study abroad.” Mark squinted his eyes inquisitively.
“Even Leonel wants to study abroad, huh? Do you think your uncle will agree to this? What about Alexis? Is she planning to tag along as well? You're all becoming quite independent, aren't you?” Edwin went to fetch a cup of tea for Mark.
He placed it gently on the table and replied thoughtfully, “No, Alexis won't be going. She has her heart set on studying law in Masrea. It's just Leonel and me this time.”
