NovelBarThomas, on the other hand, didn’t expect to see Mark.
Mark nodded at Thomas through the window and slowly drove away.
Seeing Mark, Thomas gnashed his teeth and clenched his fists.
He then turned off the engine of his car and lit a cigarette.
He liked Cecilia. He liked her very much.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had liked her ever since they were young, but back then, they weren’t destined yet.
Later in life, when they both got partners, he thought that their paths would never cross again. But, in a twist of fate, they met each other again. And this time, both of them were single.
Thomas knew what Mark and Cecilia shared back at that time was unforgettable.
Thomas could live with that since he believed that Cecilia was a decent woman of principle.
But when he saw Mark pass by just now, an inexplicable sense of crisis rose within him.
Mark was still related to the Fowler family. No matter what happened, he would always be the father of Cecilia’s two children.
That fact could never be changed. Just like today, Mark could come to visit their children whenever they were sick or attend the Fowler family’s important events as family.
Thomas had to accept this reality.
He sank his head and tightened his fists even further, his nail digging unto his palm. He thought that he would never be a match for Mark.
Men were always more rational than women.
Although Thomas already knew the truth, he still faced reality with grace. Since he was already here, he decided to visit Cecilia and the children.
In the morning, the villa was quiet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe servant entertained Thomas and then went upstairs to tell Cecilia about his presence.
While waiting, Thomas couldn’t help but wonder if Mark could come here and stay overnight without the servant informing the Fowlers beforehand; or maybe he could just enter Cecilia’s room?
He was so deep in thought that he didn’t hear Cecilia’s footsteps as she headed downstairs.
She looked much fresher now than she did a while ago. Her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and her dress looked comfortable and stylish at the same time.
She even wore heels to accomplish her look.
When Thomas saw Cecilia and how well-kempt she looked, he thought that perhaps Mark had seen her haggard face, a vulnerable side she refused to show to him now. Then he thought about when Olivia had a fever, Cecilia chose Mark to accompany her without hesitation.
Perhaps Cecilia herself wasn’t aware of these subtle behaviors.
