She had heard that there was a place where her uncle used to share with Cecilia.
However, this was the first time that she had ever come here.
Based on her initial impression, this place seemed really nice!
After cutting the apple into smaller pieces, she gave Mark a few of them.
“You look like a filial daughter right now,” he said to her with a smile.
When he said that, the first person that came to Rena’s mind was Cecilia.
“I’m only a year younger than Cecilia. Do you think she’s old enough to be your child?”
The look on Mark’s eyes communicated a myriad of emotions.
After a while, he pretended to act cool and asked, “How’s she getting along with Thomas? I’ve seen him come to the Fowler’s house twice. They’re getting along pretty well, aren’t they?”
Rena looked away and said nothing.
After all, she had promised to Waylen that neither of them would favor either Mark or Cecilia.
She simply gave a small smile.
While Mark remained silent, Peter blurted, “Oh, Rena! Don’t keep us guessing! If you don’t tell the truth, it will make Mr. Evans more anxious! It’s not good for his condition!”
With her smile still intact, Rena tucked Mark in.
Then, with a smile, she said, “Uncle Mark, you’re so smart. I don’t think you need me to answer that question. You know what you should do. You’ve been so magnanimous that even Waylen is surprised.”
Peter understood what she had meant by that.
Mark, on the other hand, simply smiled.
Suddenly, Rena’s face turned serious. She said softly, “The most important thing right now is for you to take good care of your body.
Otherwise, you might end up hurting Cecilia again. Do you want that to happen?”
Rena’s tone carried a slight hint of reproach.
She chastised him for going out of his way just for a moment of alone with her last night.
Mark swallowed hard as he looked away and uttered, I won’t do that again.”
Rena pouted her Lips and didn’t say anything more. Both of them were smart people-they didn’t need to be explicit with their words for them to understand each other.
Rena stayed for two hours and cooked lunch for Mark.
