In that moment, she felt that 18 cars of gifts were simply insufficient.
It was not sincere enough!
In the grand hall of the Fowlersâ elegant abode stood Korbyn, a man of immense generosity.
He gestured towards Markâs mother and uttered, âBehold, this is your grandmother.
â
Edwin, though somewhat timid, approached Zoey and threw himself into her embrace.
Zoey cradled the little boy in her arms, her emotions running deep and complex.
Happiness mingled with guilt within her heart.
Despite her age, she held Edwin up tenderly and showered him with affectionate ki*ses.
The gifts she had brought originally to propose a marriage for her son now found their new recipient in her grandson.
Seated beside Zoey, Markâs eyes blazed with intensity as he observed Edwin.
He then turned his gaze towards Cecilia, who sat across the tableâ¦
Cecilia did not deny the truth.
âYes, we have a child.

With a gentle closure of his eyes, Mark began to recount the timeline.
He deduced that the last time he visited Duefron was when he impregnated Cecilia.
By the time she reached Czanch, she must have been aware of her pregnancy.
Mark struggled to recall the emotions that accompanied their breakup back then.
Upon reflection, he came to the realization that their relationship was destined to fail.

Waylen scanned the gathering with a cheerful grin.
âWhatâs the occasion today? Why is everyone gathered here?â
Gently caressing Edwinâs face, Waylen exchanged greetings with Zoey.

Zoey held a strong fondness for Waylen, and she needed to have a conversation with him, which made her incline towards him even more.
Taking a seat alongside Rena, Waylenâs gaze fell upon his own father, Korbyn, who reciprocated the look.
Neither of them wished to be the one to play the bad guy.
Finally, with tears welling up, Juliette urged her husband softly, âKorbyn.
â
Unwilling to reveal vulnerability in front of Juliette, Korbyn casually sipped his tea and addressed Zoey with a smile, âKids will be kids.
Letâs see what they have to say.
