When someone was plagued by longing, a simple phone call or a few sweet words could provide lasting satisfaction.
Cecilia understood that Mark enjoyed those moments just as much as she did.
Time swiftly passed.
A few years went by, and Edwin returned to Evans Gardon during his summer vacation as a high school freshman.
At sixteen, Edwin had shot up to a towering six feet. He wasn't just tall and handsome; he was also one of the most popular kids in his school.
From his early years into adolescence, Edwin had received a plethora of love letters, enough to fill a bookcase.
Yet, he showed no interest in pursuing romantic relationships.
One day, Cecilia overheard Mark mentioning that the Smith family had expressed an interest in a union with the Fowler family. However, since Leonel wasn't Waylen's biological son and Marcus was younger than the Smith family’s daughter, they had eventually turned their attention to Edwin.
Cecilia had met the young lady from the Smith family, who was an outstanding individual.
But considering Edwin's young age, Cecilia believed it was too early for him to engage in a relationship.
Cecilia decided to consult Mark about the matter. Mark informed her that he had already spoken to Edwin, who didn’t express any objections.
On the surface, it appeared that the arrangement was settled.
However, the idea of a marital connection between the two families was just something to be considered.
Edwin and the daughter of the Smith family had no interactions, and the adults had to wait for them to mature enough to bring it up again. Edwin's reason for returning to Czanch this time was to discuss his desire to study abroad.
“You wish to study abroad?” Within the study, Mark was seated behind an imposing dark wood desk, his brows slightly furrowed.
Time had treated Mark kindly, and he hadn't aged significantly; instead, he had grown more refined as time went by.
Edwin nodded, affirming his intentions.
“Yes, both Leonel and I wish to study abroad.” Mark squinted his eyes inquisitively.
“Even Leonel wants to study abroad, huh? Do you think your uncle will agree to this? What about Alexis? Is she planning to tag along as well? You're all becoming quite independent, aren't you?” Edwin went to fetch a cup of tea for Mark.
He placed it gently on the table and replied thoughtfully, “No, Alexis won't be going. She has her heart set on studying law in Masrea. It's just Leonel and me this time.”
