Chapter: 1164
He wondered if being together with her was possible.
He wanted to find a way out of the countless impossibilities.
But until now, Mark hadn’t found a solution.
Waylen had made a big decision. He planned to secretly send Alexis to the lab for treatment in order to set Rena free.
Because of this, Mark had slapped Waylen in the face—twice.
Then, despite raising his reddened palm a third time, Mark couldn’t bear to deliver another slap. He knew that it was difficult for Waylen to have made such a decision…
On the night Alexis was sent away, Mark drank a lot, and even Peter couldn’t stop him. At last, the helpless Peter sought out Cecilia’s help and begged her to persuade Mark. “Mr. Evans has an important meeting tomorrow morning. If he keeps drinking like this, he might be too drunk to go.”

Cecilia refused.

He gently pulled her over and raised her chin, looking at her face carefully.
Truth be told, they were both alone in this world, and they each only had each other.
Mark croaked, “Cecilia, let’s at least have a try.”
