NovelEnglishAfter that, Mark began preparing Olivia’s milk.
Thankfully, he had brought enough milk powder with him.
Olivia ended up enjoying her drink very much.
Feeding Olivia was one of Mark’s favorite thing to do nowadays. With the little girl in his arms, it made him believe for a second that he still had Cecilia by his side, and the four of them had never separated.
After all, Edwin was still a kid.
Despite that he had been sulking the whole day, now he could no longer stay mad at Mark anymore and decided to lean against his arm and watch Olivia drink her milk.
As he looked at his sister, Edwin’s eyes widened with affection.
When Mark saw Edwin Leaning over, he didn’t move.
After a while, Edwin rested his head on Mark’s shoulder.
When the atmosphere among the three was almost perfect, Mark’s phone suddenly rang.
Cecilia’s name was flashing on the screen.
Not wanting to break the atmosphere he had created, he stealthily bent over and took his phone from the table. Gently, he squeezed the phone between his ear and his shoulder and said, “Hello. Yes, Edwin and Olivia are here with me. They’re in my company. What? You’re downstairs?”
As Cecilia talked more, Mark’s eyes slowly began to darken.
Meanwhile, Edwin’s face tightened as he forced himself to keep quiet.
After a while, Mark hung up the phone, and an eerie silence swept over them.
“Your mom is already downstairs. I’ll walk you there,” he said after a while.
With wide eyes, Edwin stared at Mark and asked, “Aren’t you going back with us?”
Mark smiled and mussed Edwin’s hair, teasing, “You silly boy.”
After that, Edwin didn’t ask anymore.
He quickly tidied himself up, patted his sister’s back, and then carried his little backpack.
Mark was the one who held Olivia up.
As they alighted the elevator, Edwin asked out of the blue, “When will you pick us up again?”
The question caught Mark by surprise.
“If you miss me, just call me and I’ll come pick you up,” he answered softly.
