Female NovelCecilia was choked with sobs.
She understood he didn’t do anything wrong back then. They had broken up at that time, and he had probably thought they would never be together anymore. Therefore, he didn’t care about her feelings and let Cathy work by his side.
But now that they had reconciled, Cathy’s presence still lingered.
Cecilia couldn’t accept it, her anger soaring whenever she saw Cathy.
However, Mark had repeatedly stated that he never loved Cathy. With this fact in mind, she felt better. She turned her face away and, with teary eyes, said, “I don’t want to talk to you tonight.”
Mark wouldn’t just sit by and watch her stay angry. He knew he needed to do something.
He slowly fastened his seatbelt and asked her softly, “So, are you willing to talk to me tomorrow morning?”
Cecilia snorted in response.
Mark gently touched her head and then drove back to the Evans’ house without saying anything.
The Evans’ house was brightly lit and filled with joy, all thanks to Zoey’s efforts.
At this moment, Zoey hadn’t gone to bed yet. She and Edwin were in the living room watching a football game on TV.
Cecilia got out of the car. She initially wanted to head straight to their room. But seeing Zoey was still in the living room, she had to greet Zoey however frustrated she was. Cecilia walked up to Zoey and greeted her before taking a seat beside her.
Zoey had sharp eyes and noticed Cecilia’s red eyes and Mark’s awkwardness with bags in hands. She guessed they had argued, but she feigned ignorance of it.
She put on her reading glasses and smiled.
“Oh, you’ve brought some new clothes for Edwin. Cecilia, why not take these clothes to my room? We can decide which one Edwin should wear on Christmas Day after taking a good look at them.”
Mark knew Zoey wanted Cecilia to stay the night.
He smiled subtly and said, “Let’s have Edwin fitted for his clothes tomorrow. Cecilia isn’t feeling well. I’ll take her to the room first.”
Zoey was surprised and asked, “Is she on her period?”
Mark vaguely confirmed it, and Cecilia blushed with embarrassment.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
She wasn’t on her period at all. He was just making up excuses.
Mark handed two bags to his son.
“These are for you and your grandma.”
After that, he took Cecilia back to their bedroom. He wanted to have a good conversation with her. Regardless of the conflict caused by Cathy, he knew they had to talk through it.
It was a cold day. Since Mark said Cecilia wasn’t feeling well, Zoey decided to make some ginger tea for her.
Zoey went to the kitchen to prepare the ginger tea, while Mark led Cecilia into their bedroom.
He closed the door behind them, but Cecilia didn’t want to go in.
She leaned against the door, her eyes red, and said, “I’ll sleep in Zoey’s room.”
Mark gently touched Cecilia’s face and asked, “Don’t you like it here?
You seemed very excited last night, quite different from before.”
