While conversing with Mark, Rena tossed a phone to Alexis.
Alexis glanced at Mark and then at her mother.
Rena smile, and Alexis instantly grasped her intention.
With determination, Alexis began typing on the phone.
“Auntie Cece, I miss you.”
“Mom isn’t feeling well. Can you come and drive me to school?”
Afterwards, Alexis tossed the phone onto the sofa.
Mark voiced his disapproval. “It’s not suitable for such a young child to play with a phone.”
Rena discreetly checked the messages and smiled. “She was just checking her kindergarten homework. Waylen always insisted that she do it on her own.”
Thereafter, Mark fell silent.
He remained seated for a while before preparing to take his leave. His mood was already sour.
Rena invited him to stay for another cup of coffee. Just as the sound of a car echoed in the courtyard, she smiled and remarked, “Alright, I won’t keep you any longer if you have other business to attend to. I’ll bring Alexis to visit Grandma in Czanch another day.”
Mark gently patted her head, turned around and departed.
Rena accompanied him to the door.
In the drive way, a white Bentley glided to a gradual halt.
Cecilia emerged from the car’s backseat, wearing a smile. “Rena, Lexi mentioned that you weren’t feeling well…”
Cecilia suddenly froze, her gaze locking onto Mark.
Likewise, Mark stood motionless.
He hadn’t anticipated seeing her here. His gaze grew intense, and he momentarily lost his composure.
Cecilia had transformed in ways he never could have imagined.
Mark’s gaze fixated upon Cecilia, his eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and nostalgia.
A remarkable transformation had overtaken Cecilia, altering her appearance significantly.
Once a stunning beauty, she had now acquired a slender figure while exuding an air of maturity and charm through her tasteful attire.
The metamorphosis she had undergone signified her transition from a girl into a woman.
