Then Edwin leaned against her chest and began to talk to her.
“Are you really going to divorce dad?” he asked her.
Even though Cecilia was a bit drunk, she still had the presence of mind to know that she should not speak ill of Mark to Edwin.

Cecilia couldn’t help but feel sorry for her son.
Maybe it was because of the hardship they had suffered, Edwin was more mature than children his age. She couldn’t help but remember when he ran back to where they used to live because he was unhappy and this made her feel even more sorry for him.
She wanted to carry him back to his room, but she was feeling dizzy.
In the end, Edwin went to bring a blanket and covered her with it.
Then he got under the blanket with her to help her stay warm.
The night was far gone. But all of a sudden, the door knob was turned gently.
Then a slender figure came into the room. The person didn’t turn on the lights, but was instead able to move around in the darkness.
The house was full of the smell of red wine, with a hint of sweetness in it.
On the sofa, Cecilia and Edwin were in each other’s arms. Cecilia had fallen asleep and her relaxed face looked lovely.
As Mark looked at her, he suddenly realized how much he had missed her.

Immediately, Edwin woke up.
He rubbed his eyes and looked up, only to find himself in his father’s arms.

Mark patted him on the back, encouraging him to go back to sleep.
Then he put him on the bed and came back to take care of the drunk mother.
Till now, Cecilia had no idea that her son had been taken away from her.
Perhaps because she felt a little hot after consuming alcohol, she kicked off the blanket from her body and Mark could now see that she was wearing a burgundy shirt and a silk skirt. But even though it reached down to her knees, it still didn’t hide her wonderful figure.
