Clasping onto his mother, Edwin inquired softly, “Why are you crying, Mommy?”
Cecilia shook her head, unable to find the words to explain.
Rena gently touched Edwin’s head, embracing him as she whispered to Cecilia, “Over the years, my uncle always spoke of you with intention. I believe this diamond ring was meant for you.”
Rena chose not to plead Mark’s case.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, Cecilia had devoted her entire youth to him for four long years.
But how Long could a woman’s youth last?
Rena led Edwin away, leaving Cecilia with work to do, yet her emotions were turbulent. Seated in the car, she cried bitterly, transporting her back to the day when Mark abandoned her, leaving her feeling utterly helpless.
Mark’s coat was draped over Cecilia’s lap.
She knew he had done it deliberately, trying to ensnare her once again.
For his so-called career, he had almost sacrificed her entirely. How could he have the audacity to present her with a ring now?
Cecilia wept like a vulnerable young girl.
Just then, her phone began to ring-it was Mark calling. Her assistant saw the caller ID and hesitated for a moment before picking up.
“It’s Mr. Evans,” the assistant murmured softly.
“I don’t want to answer it,” Cecilia replied with a heavy heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut the assistant, who had worked for Cecilia for a long time, decided to take the call.
Mark was unaware that it was the assistant who answered. In a soft and tender tone, he said, “Cecilia, have you seen the diamond ring in my coat pocket? Keep it safe for me. I plan to use it for a proposal in the future.”
The assistant felt a shiver down her spine.
Summoning her courage, she informed Mark, “Miss Fowler is crying.”
There was a brief silence before Mark responded, “Put her on the phone. If she won’t talk to me, I’ll find her myself.”
Cecilia overheard their conversation.
She took the phone, her voice hoarse as she confronted Mark. “What’s the point of all this? Why did you assume I couldn’t wait? Why did you consider me an ignorant little girl who was unworthy of being your wife? Why do you think I should wait for you now?”
Overwhelmed by sorrow, Cecilia ended the call abruptly.
