“Cecilia is on her period. You can’t do this to her. She should be taken good care of these days.”
With her eyes averted, Zoey placed the tea on the table and scolded, “Mark, come to your senses! Stop it!”
Mark and Cecilia hadn’t expected Zoey’s sudden appearance.
Mark’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he looked down at Cecilia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCecilia’s face flushed crimson. She hastily adjusted her clothing, but it was impossible to tidy up properly in her disheveled state, which was even more enticing.
Mark collected his thoughts. Then he managed to regain his composure.
He patted Cecilia’s behind and said, “Go to the bathroom and freshen up.”
Cecilia was so embarrassed that she seized the opportunity to escape to the bathroom.
Mark was not as thin-skinned as Cecilia was.
After Cecilia left, he straightened up and buttoned up his shirt slowly. He even smiled at Zoey and said, “You’ve caught us at a bad time!”
Zoey sneered.
“I’m ashamed of you!”
She glanced in the direction of the bathroom and said in a hushed voice,
“You! Did you not treasure her that much after the engagement? How did you get along with those girlfriends before? Can’t you learn how to treat your girl well? What’s on your mind? How could you have sex with Cecilia when she’s on her period?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMark felt a mix of irritation and amusement at her words.
He sat down next to Zoey and asked, “Are you mad at me?”
“Yeah!”
Mark patted Zoey’s hand and explained gently, “You’ve misunderstood. I will never treat Cecilia like that. She’s the woman I’ve longed for. I respect her. She was angry when we came back, and I just said it casually. She isn’t on her period.”
Zoey felt relieved. She pointed to the tea and said, “Then go ahead and drink it! Otherwise, she might be more embarrassed when she sees this.”
Mark smiled and drank up the tea.
Zoey left soon, but Cecilia was still hiding in the bathroom.
Mark sat beneath the light.
