Mark remembered it, too, and said in a hoarse voice, “Do you still have that diamond ring? That’s the ring I bought with the money I saved up to marry you. It wasn’t easy for me to save all that money. I’m going to propose to you with that ring.”
Cecilia was tempted, but women were always squeamish when marriage was concerned.
She deliberately attempted to piss Mark off. “I’ll give it back to you.

Cecilia spoke like a spoiled child.
There were tears in Mark’s eyes. Cecilia was the same as when he first met her.
He really wanted to do something intimate with her, but Edwin was there, so he whispered, “Stay here tonight. With this house, we don’t have to sneak around anymore.”
Cecilia didn’t agree immediately.
She had been separated from him for several years, and she was still deeply hurt.
She was about to refuse.
Overhearing what Mark said, Edwin pleaded, “I want to stay here tonight, Mom.”
Cecilia’s lips trembled. Edwin threw himself into her arms. Cecilia always felt sorry for Edwin. She Loved him very much, and she couldn’t refuse his request.

Taking care of his son, Mark said gently, “You’ve been talking less and less in the past few years. I remember that you used to be talkative.”
Cecilia lowered her eyes and said, “I have become mature.”
Mark stared at her quietly.
He knew that she was from a rich family and that she was good at making money. She could choose to be with a suitable man. But he was still eager to win her heart.
Naturally, Edwin didn’t know what was going on between Mark and Cecilia.
It was late at night.
Edwin was tired. Mark was the one who bathed him, helped him put on pajamas, and got him ready for bed.
Soon, Edwin was sound asleep on the bed.
