Plans? For the future?
Cecilia toyed with her fork for a moment, and then she broke into a faint smile and replied truthfully, “I will give birth to the baby, and maybe I’ll get married if I find the right man. Though it’s not a necessity for me to get married, not to mention the fact that it’s not easy for a divorced woman with two kids to find Mr. Right nowadays, I just want my children to have a normal and happy family.”
Mark’s heart ached as he listened to her.
If he were in good health, he wouldn’t have asked her such a question.
Henever would have let her go.

So he simply nodded at her with a smile on his face.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Find a man that comes from a family that is on the same level as yours. Even if he’s not very good-looking, he must be very nice to you and the children.”
Cecilia nodded in agreement. But there were tears in her eyes.
Just then, the doorbell rang. The sound startled her, making her eyes become red.
Mark looked at her for a moment. Then he got up and went to open the door.
Standing at the door were Waylen and Peter. They both looked unhappy.
But Waylen was the worse of the two.
He had not come for Cecilia but to see Mark. He stared at both of them without a word. His gaze was fiery enough to make Peter shiver.
Peter never thought that Waylen could behave aggressively.
Apart from the time he went to Czanch and had a fight with Mark, Waylen had never done anything out of line before.
But from what he had just seen of him, Peter was now dead sure that Waylen was a dangerous individual.

Cecilia didn’t argue with him.
She quietly stood up and went to change her shoes.
She was heavy with child, so it was inconvenient for her to squat for this purpose. So Waylen quickly stepped in to help her. Then he said to her, “Wait for me in the car.”
As he said this, he helped her put on her coat and led her to the door.
“Mr. Fowler, that’s so considerate of you,” Peter said to him with a smile on his face in an effort to calm the tension in the air.
After saying that, he took Cecilia’s hand and hurriedly led her towards the elevator.
