Female NovelThis room was essentially soundproof. Mark closed the door behind them before he placed Cecilia on the soft bed.
It was then that Cecilia finally exploded.
“Mark! What do you want? Do you still want to sleep with me?”
Mark quietly stared at her with an unfathomable gaze as he watched Cecilia’s chest heave with rage.
After a while, he decided to turn up the temperature inside the room.
While waiting for the room to warm up, the two of them shared a suffocating silence.
After all these years, this might be the first real argument between the two of them.
In the past, whatever quarrel they had was resolved by Mark’s unilateral suppression of the issue.
This time was different. Standing in front of the heater, Mark contemplated how he should phrase his next words. After a long time, he finally turned around and said to her, “I did let Cathy stay in Czanch. But, Cecilia, I’ll quit. I have already prepared my resignation.”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Cecilia knew that if they weren’t able to talk this through tonight, he would never let her go.
She pulled the quilt closer to her and crumpled its corners.
“So, will you stop seeing her and keep your distance from her in the future? Can you leave that child alone? If you say yes to these questions, then I will forgive you here and now. Then, our wedding will be held as scheduled.”
Mark gnashed his teeth and looked away.
He still had lingering feelings of guilt toward what had happened to Paul. On top of that, Paul’s child was completely innocent.
He took a deep breath and finally faced Cecilia.
“I won’t meet them unless it’s necessary.”
As soon as he said that, the disappointment became quickly evident on Cecilia’s face.
Mark had always been handsome even though he was tired. Many women yearned for him, but they were all unsuccessful.
Before, he said that he only wanted her and her alone, and back then, she believed him.
ALL she wanted from him was a relationship where both of them were equals.
However, after years of suffering and anticipation, she couldn’t even get a promise out of him.
Tears began to well up in her eyes.
After taking a deep breath, Cecilia looked Mark straight in the eye and emphasized each word, saying, “Mark, that’s Cathy! She was the mother of that little girl you once held in your arms and your past lover, someone whom you’ve had sex with! Well, what did you do? You should take care of her child! Are you kidding me? What? You want me to bear with it? Can’t I just marry someone else? Why do I have to keep humiliating myself Like this?”
Not to mention that Cathy almost killed her at that time.
