The fragrance of her hair had long dissipated from the bed.
Mark walked out of the bedroom with a heavy heart and ate breakfast aloneâ¦
Peter called, informing him of a meeting scheduled for ten oâclock.
Mark responded casually, âPostpone it until tomorrow.
Iâm in Duefron.
I want to see Rena and Alexis.
â
Peter understood the situation all too well.
He sighed, recognizing that Cecilia was the sole person in Markâs life whom he had failed.
Mark indeed went to visit Rena.
He brought toys that Alexis adored and arrived early.
Fortunately, he managed to avoid encountering Waylen, as the man had departed on a business trip early that morning.
However, Rena was perceptive.
She felt a slight unease upon seeing Mark.
Observing the loving expression on Markâs face as he spent time with Alexis, Rena couldnât help but think of Edwin.
In a hushed voice, she inquired, âUncle, have you ever considered starting a family?â
Mark smiled.
âWhat? Are you here to persuade me on behalf of your grandmother?â
Rena remained silent and prepared coffee silently.
After a while, she softly said, âIâve noticed how fond you are of children.
â
Mark lifted Alexis and planted a tender ki*s on her cheek.
âI have Alexis, and thatâs enough.
â
Alexis returned the affectionate gesture, holding Markâs handsome face in her small hands.
Speaking softly, she remarked,
âEdwin is handsome too.
He has brown hair and smooth skin, just like me.
â
Mark furrowed his brow and inquired, âWho is Edwin?â

Rena placed the coffee on the table and cradled Alexis in her arms.
âHe is a child from the Fowler family.
â
It wasnât a falsehood.
Without dwelling too much on it, Mark forced a smile.
He had come here to inquire about Cecilia, yet Rena remained tight-lipped, refusing to utter a single word regarding her.
Mark thought Rena was astute.
