NovelBarAfter she left, Mark had Lunch and felt much better.
He sat quietly on the sofa in the living room and read the newspaper.
After taking a nap at noon, his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the screen and saw an unknown number flashing.
With furrowed brows, Mark answered the phone.
“This is Mark,” he said.
No one was speaking on the other line. ALL Mark could hear was the sound of someone hyperventilating.
Mark patiently waited for the other person to speak.
After a while, he figured out who it was. His tone softened as he asked, “Edwin, is that you?”
Indeed, it was Edwin who was on the phone.
Edwin was still cross and had a mean face on. After a while, he finally said, “You said you were going to come back!”
Upon hearing this, Mark’s heart twitched.
“It’s my fault,” he apologized sincerely.
“Are you at home now? I’ll go and pick you up, okay?”
Edwin didn’t say anything.
Mark further coaxed, “How about I take you out with your little sister? Let’s go eat your favorite fried chicken!”
Edwin bit his lip before saying, “She can’t eat that.”
“Then I will bring her bottle,” Mark responded.
Edwin didn’t say anything, which Mark took as him agreeing to his invite.
“I’ll be there soon,” he told him.
“Great-uncle,” Edwin awkwardly called him before hanging up the phone.
Mark was surprised to hear the call suddenly drop. But after a while, he smiled and turned to Peter.
“It’s okay. As long as he’s happy.
Peter, I’m going to pick up Edwin and Olivia. The three of us will go out. Get me a car quickly.”
