Chapter: 1274
The assistant was taken aback by Cecilia’s words.
She couldn’t believe that Cecilia and Mark had reached the stage of discussing marriage.
On the opposite end of the line, Mark sat comfortably in the back seat, his fingers gently caressing the phone.
Deliberately, he draped his coat over Cecilia, revealing the dazzling diamond ring. He was undoubtedly a cunning and scheming individual…
After so many years, she had finally made some progress.
Yet, it seemed that her progress was not complete.
Otherwise, why would she cry so heartrendingly?
Hearing the conversation’s contents, Peter turned around in the front seat and spoke tenderly. “You can comfort her later. She’s like a child. You should give her at least a candy to bring a smile to her face.”
Mark chuckled. “If you consider her a child again, she won’t be pleased.”
Mark’s “Little girl” was already in her thirties.
Rena took Edwin home.
Waylen left work early, picked up Alexis and headed home. When Waylen saw Edwin, he gently patted the boy’s head.
In the kitchen, Rena busily prepared the ingredients for dinner.
Waylen entered, embraced Rena from behind, and inquired in a hushed tone, “Did Cecilia quarrel with Mark again?”
Rena paused her work.
Her gaze fell upon the hands encircling her waist. She gently bit her lip and replied, “Waylen, don’t do this. The children might come in at any moment. It’s not appropriate for them to witness us like this.”
Waylen playfully nipped the tender flesh on her neck and retorted, “Alexis has seen us like this plenty of times.”
“Even so, we should still be cautious.”
Waylen didn’t press the matter further. He gently caressed her waist.
Rena had been working out and her waist was beautifully toned.
Waylen wanted to compliment her sweetly and asked, “Did you enjoy last night?”
Rena blushed.
