Cecilia’s lips trembled imperceptibly, but she stayed silent.
In the end, it was Waylen who spoke up first. “I invited him here, since I might need his help with something.”
Mark nodded to acknowledge his words, his eyes never leaving Cecilia’s face.
He took off his coat and squatted in front of Edwin. “Hey, buddy. Why won’t you say hi to your dad?”
