Female NovelCecilia’s lips moved slightly. Mark understood what she wanted to say, so he preemptively interjected, “Let’s talk privately.”
Cecilia glanced at her brother.
Waylen took a sip of tea and smirked, “Go ahead, talk with him.
He won’t do anything to harm you; after all, he’s too old for that.”
Waylen was indeed sharp-tongued.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Cecilia nodded in agreement.
Indeed, there were things they couldn’t discuss in front of their elders…
The two of them retreated to a small parlor for their conversation.
Standing by the window, Cecilia turned her back to Mark and whispered in a hushed voice, “I got pregnant after the last time we were together. I only found out after we broke up.”
Mark’s eyes fixated on her back.
He shook his head gently and said, “You’re not being truthful Cecilia. You knew about the pregnancy before we broke up, didn’t you?”
Cecilia took a shallow breath.
After regaining her composure, she replied, “I can’t hide anything from you, Mr. Evans. Yes, I found out the night we broke up. I wanted to tell you but you then said we were not meant to be.”
In truth, he didn’t have to remind her of that. She knew deep down that their relationship wouldn’t work out.
She had her own pride and dignity.
Mark had a multitude of captivating girlfriends, leaving Cecilia to wonder how stupid she was to believe she could actually hold his heart.
It was all her wishful thinking!
Cecilia turned around and graced them with a smile. “Rena once said that if she couldn’t have my brother completely, she wouldn’t want him at all. She was now with him for Alexis’ sake, as she needed care, and both her parents… But Mr. Evans, Edwin has grown up without a father and is in good health. We don’t need to force ourselves into a relationship for Edwin’s sake.”
Her rationality had grown significantly. “If you wish to see him, you can come to Duefron anytime. I won’t stop you.”
However, taking Edwin to Czanch was out of the question.
She had vowed never to return there for the rest of her life.
She expressed her thoughts extensively.
Mark remained silent, seated on the sofa, smoking…
Unlike his mother, he knew that having a child wasn’t enough. He was aware that Cecilia’s resentment toward him only intensified because of Edwin and that forgiveness was beyond reach.
