Mark curled up beside her, tenderly resting his hand on her belly.
Cecilia speculated that perhaps she would get pregnant this time.
She remained in his embrace, her heart still racing. She softly asked, “Aren’t you going to the company now?”

“Have a good rest.
And don’t worry about Edwin. I’ll pick him up.”

Mark whispered, “We’ll have another round tonight when I return.”
The atmosphere in the bedroom remained sweet even after he left.
Cecilia lovingly touched her belly.

She discovered Mark’s phone on the bed.
Although she didn’t intend to snoop, a message from Cathy appeared on the screen, catching her attention.

She opened the message and found that over the past two weeks, Cathy had sent numerous messages, most of which were about Laura. Cathy’s tone was gentle, but Mark had barely responded to any of them.
There was only one response from him last week.
“Laura is being well taken care of.”
Cecilia’s body tensed, and she felt a chill.
The simple message left her deeply troubled.
