Gradually, Mark’s temper subsided.

Peter now understood there must be a conflict between Mark and Cecilia.

After offering reassurance to Zoey, Mark smiled and said, “Rena is on a business trip in Heron. Once she’s done, she’ll come to Czanch to see you.”
Zoey brought up the topic of Mark’s marriage once more.

Zoey snorted, “Don’t try to fool me. | know you too well.”
