Rena knew he had orchestrated this intentionally.
She opted not to pursue the topic any further.
Instead, she settled beside Alexis and tenderly guided her in playing.
Alexis possessed a remarkable talent.
Her performance was splendid.
Rena affectionately tousled Alexisâ little head, momentarily granting forgiveness to Alexisâ father.
During the night, after Rena had put Alexis to bed, her mind couldnât help but wander to a certain matter.
Cecilia!
Rena tiptoed out of the room and placed a call.
âUncle Mark, I need your assistance with something.
â
Rate the book using the stars!
Under the cover of a late night sky, Mark concluded his social gatherings in Czanch.
Slightly intoxicated, he found support against the sofaâs embrace.
A servant graciously presented him with a remedy tea.
Yet with a gesture, Mark declined its aid, prompting the servant to depart discreetly.
With a tender inquiry, Mark softly asked, âWhat troubles you? Did that bastard mistreat you?â
Rena firmly shook her head, denying, âNo, I simply require your assistance, concerning⦠Cecilia.
Waylen informed me that she vanished without a trace for two years.
Therefore, I implore you to help us locate her.
â
Upon hearing her plea, Mark attentively sat upright.
Delicately unbuttoning his shirt, he questioned in a hushed tone, amidst the depth of night, âShe has been away for two years?â
Rena confirmed his statement with a nod.
Mark fell into a thoughtful silence, his heavy breaths echoing through the phoneâs receiver.
After a prolonged pause, he responded softly, âCoincidentally, I have a business trip to Duefron tomorrow.
I shall make a visit to you and little Alexis.

Confusion filled Renaâs voice, âReally? Thatâs nice.
â
However, before she could utter more, Mark abruptly ended the call, for fear of losing his control.
As the evening grew darker, memories he had struggled to abandon seeped into his consciousness.
He closed his eyes, almost hearing her melodious voice.
âMr.
Evans, please do not be mad at my brother.
â
âMr.
Evans, will little Alexis be alright?â
âMr, Evans, you are intoxicated! Cease your drinking⦠Hmâ¦
