Looking at Cecilia from a distance, Mark felt a lump in his throat.
He began slowly approaching them and gently called out Cecilia’s name.
As soon as Cecilia heard his voice, her body tensed.
Even without looking back, she could tell that he was coming closer based on the sound of his footsteps.
However, at this point, she no longer wanted to see him. She already knew that he was here to win her back and explain the situation to her. But to her, the truth was plain for her to see. Nothing needed to be explained.

The more Cecilia didn’t talk, the more uneasy Mark felt.
He sat down beside her and brushed a lock of Edwin’s hair away from his eyes.
“Why did you come here without telling me in advance?” he asked, his voice sounding gentle and hoarse.
Cecilia remained quiet and didn’t utter a single word.
The two of them were locked in a terrible stalemate.
Mark looked into her eyes and emphasized, “That child is not mine!”
Deep in her heart, Cecilia felt disappointed when she heard that.
Was their relationship so weak that he needed to explain this?
Shouldn’t he be explaining why he was standing next to Cathy, the woman who had hurt her so deeply?
Back then, they broke up, and Mark still had Cathy working for him.
Cecilia knew she was in no position to have a say on that.

When Cecilia was far away in Duefron, Mark and Cathy were standing side by side on the stage and looked like a perfect match.
If this were in the past, Cecilia would’ve just left and never looked back.
But now, she had Edwin, and the two of them were already engaged.
Things were much more complicated.
Because of this, it left a bitter taste in Cecilia’s mouth.
Mark, thinking that he understood why she was angry, carefully approached Cecilia and decided to lay all his cards on the table.
