Laura hesitated, thinking such a precious gift should be reserved for Olivia.
However, Cecilia dismissed her concerns with a warm smile.
“When she gets married, we’ll find something else for her!”
Laura, swayed by Cecilia’s assurance, didn’t resist any further.
In her musings, Laura decided that when Olivia got married, she would insist on Edwin providing the absolute best, even if it meant acceding to some unreasonable demands of his.
Lost in these naughty thoughts, her face blushed a deep crimson.
Observing Laura’s sudden change in complexion, Cecilia couldn’t help but find it peculiar.
“Laura, why is your face so red?” she inquired.
Feeling a tad embarrassed, Laura swiftly shifted the subject. Cecilia, seasoned in reading between the lines, easily deduced that Laura and Edwin’s relationship was thriving.
Satisfied, Laura excused herself and headed downstairs.
Seated in quiet contemplation for a while, Cecilia acknowledged that while the past wasn’t entirely forgotten, she chose to let go because she was not just Mark’s wife but also Edwin’s mother.

Edwin truly cared for Laura, and in return, Laura’s happiness radiated.
It dawned on Cecilia that Laura had the capacity to bring joy to Edwin for a lifetime. What more could she worry about?
Downstairs, Laura descended with a small box in hand. Seeing her, Edwin, who had set the table, greeted her with a smile.
“From Mom?” he guessed.
Laura nodded, requesting him to keep it safe as it held considerable value.

Edwin, busy with preparations, had removed his coat, revealing a navy blue sweater that accentuated his handsome features.
Patting Laura’s head affectionately, he murmured, “You keep it. I’ll install a big safe in our house, so you can store everything I give you each year. When we’re old, you can pass them on to our children and their significant others.”
The notion was endearingly sweet.
Laura protested, “I don’t want to have that many children!”
However, Edwin, with a desire for children, suggested softly, “How about two?”
Having a sister himself, he understood the warmth of sibling relationships.
Laura, in agreement, hummed softly through her nose.
Meanwhile, Mark, witnessing their affectionate exchange, found it overwhelmingly sweet. His son had truly surpassed him.
