He extinguished his cigarette and returned to the bedroom.
Sure enough, Cecilia was still awake.
Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, making her look striking as she leaned against the headboard.
Mark placed his phone on the nightstand. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
He leaned in to kiss her tenderly on the lips, noting that they felt slightly dry.
He asked softly, “Don’t you have work tomorrow morning? If you don’t get some sleep, how will you manage during the day?”
Cecilia didn’t resist, and instead, nestled closer to him, resting her head on his chest. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
They stayed that way for a long time until his shirt became damp and uncomfortable.
Mark gently stroked her hair and then kissed her once more.
Cecilia trembled slightly.
Their kiss deepened, as if it was their souls connecting. In that moment, neither of them needed words to communicate.
The following morning, Cecilia awoke to find herself alone in bed.
She assumed Mark had already left for work.
When she descended the stairs, she was surprised to find Mark still at home.
He was dressed in a Light brown sweater and dark coffee casual pants, exuding a gentle and elegant demeanor.
He was having breakfast with Edwin. When he saw Cecilia coming down, he flashed a warm smile and said, “Let’s take Edwin to kindergarten together.”
Cecilia took a seat and brushed her long hair back.
“I have a morning commercial shoot today,” she replied.
Mark handed her a glass of warm milk and offered, “I’ll drive you to the set later.”
Cecilia took a sip of milk and regarded Mark.
She whispered, “You don’t have to do this.”
The previous night, she had given him the phone out of sympathy, not wanting him to feel guilty.
If Laura’s presence didn’t disrupt Cecilia and Edwin’s life with Mark, she might have turned a blind eye to it. But she still couldn’t accept any involvement with the girl.
Mark remained silent, gently stroking Cecilia’s hair.
