Why did the child from Mark’s suite call Cecilia “mommy”?
Peter smiled at Aline and asked, “Do you know each other? That’s a surprise!

At that moment, Mark himself came downstairs.
He touched Edwin’s head and then glanced at Rena reproachfully. “Why can’t you take care of yourself, just like Edwin? The air conditioner is set so low and you’re showing your legs. You care too much about appearance.”
Mark took off his coat and placed it over Rena’s legs, touching her head, just as he had done to Edwin.
Rena wanted to say something, but Mark had already left with Peter. In the car, he sent a message to Cecilia, “Are you jealous?”
Initially, Cecilia had no intention of responding to Mark but she couldn’t resist the urge.
“Who’s jealous?”
After a while, Mark’s message arrived.
“Rena is my niece. Are you even jealous of a junior?”
Cecilia was left speechless.

Gritting her teeth, Aline retorted, “Rena, did you do all of this intentionally?”
