Mark confirmed without any hesitation.
With a sigh, Cathy raised her right arm to look at the hand adorned with a glove.
Then, she forced a self-mocking smile and walked away, tossing the tie into a nearby trash can.
Mark wanted to smoke a cigarette to ease his frustration.
He didn’t care about Cathy. But meeting her reminded him of something she had done before. Though he was annoyed, he couldn’t lash out his frustration here since he didn’t want to cause a scene.

Mark approached her, letting out a sigh.
“Are you angry?”
Cecilia nodded, her eyes red.
She forcefully took off the belt from the rack and went to pay the bill. She didn’t use his card.
Mark wanted to cheer her up.
“Well, I’m a lucky man. My charming girl has good taste in picking up clothes for me and even manages to save money for me.”
“You!” She gave him a sharp glare.
His eyes softened a bit as she stared at him. He knew she was annoyed by Cathy’s sudden appearance, which ruined their date.
He said softly, “I understand you’re angry, but don’t cry here, please. People are watching.”
Ignoring him, Cecilia walked away.
Mark followed silently from behind, carrying all the stuff they had bought so far.

With a long face, she didn’t spare him a look. Mark said a few jokes to bring joy to her, but she continued to ignore him. She remained that way until they got into the car. Not wanting to see her upset, he explained, “I’ve transferred her to the company in Tashkao.”
Cecilia remained silent for a moment before asking, “Why did you allow her to stay by your side for the past few years?”
This question got Mark.
Why didn’t he drive Cathy away? Well, at that time, Mark thought he and Cecilia couldn’t be together. Besides, he didn’t want to make things difficult for Cathy given their past relationship. He didn’t love Cathy. But still, he wouldn’t drive her into a corner.
However, his way of dealing with Cathy ignited a conflict between him and Cecilia.
Mark opted not to defend himself and gently stroked Cecilia’s hair, apologizing, “It’s all my fault.”
