“Fortunately, you’re not here,” he told her.
Cecilia blushed and pretended not to understand what he meant.
After a while, she asked about the project launch.
Mark splashed his face with some water and answered softly, “I wanted to ask you to come here, but I’m going to be very busy by then. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to take care of you two.”
Hearing this, Cecilia felt a twinge in her heart.
This was supposed to be one of the most important moments in Mark’s life. She wanted to be by his side when this happened, but unfortunately, he didn’t invite her to witness the moment with him.
However, Cecilia was sure Mark would be surprised to see her if she showed up by then. She wouldn’t need Mark to pay extra attention to take care of her.
With this in mind, Cecilia felt a lot better.
Since they had been away from each other for half a month already, it was only natural for them to have lots of sweet things to say to each other.
Worried that Mark might be too tired, she asked him to rest more before hanging up the phone.
On the other end, Mark put down his phone and kept a blank face as he tried his best to make sure that his emotions didn’t show.
He was actually glad that Cecilia wouldn’t be coming. He knew that if she saw Cathy, she would likely overthink again.
Cecilia busied herself with work. On the night of the launch of Mark’s project, she arrived at Czanch.
As a member of the Fowler family, Cecilia didn’t have to get an invitation from Mark to get to the scene. However, the spot she got wasn’t in the center.
At night, the area was illuminated with Lights.
Edwin’s eyes were wide in awe as he took in his surroundings.
He looked up at Cecilia and said in a low voice, “Mom, aside from the big rocket, we also get to see my daddy, right?”
With a smile, Cecilia picked him up and placed him atop her shoulders so that he could have a better view.
Edwin grabbed on to her hair to make sure that he wasn’t going to fall.
The venue was packed with people.
After a long wait, a huge white object lit up and produced a loud bang. It launched upwards, with white smoke trailing behind it.
“We did it. It’s in the sky!”
Everyone watched with bated breaths as an immeasurable joy filled their hearts.
This was the culmination of four years’ worth of hard work. Finally, it had paid off.
