    Mark was momentarily mesmerized by her elegance. After a brief pause, he said, “Olivia and that woman are worlds apart. It''s unfair to even make aparison. I''d rather not hear such remarks.” Lifting Olivia, he settled her onto hisp.


    He yfully tweaked her cheek.


    Olivia was the center of attention for many; her brother, in particr, was exceptionally fond of her.

    Cecilia acknowledged this with a nod, but Mark, ever persistent, teased, “Feeling a twinge of jealousy, are we?” “Why should I feel any envy towards her?” Cecilia shot back.


    “If she’s to your liking, keep her close. Perhaps she''ll brighten your days.” Mark chuckled at her response.

    “I''m taking Edwin and Olivia home for dinner.” “We have a meal prepared here,” Mark noted.


    “Waylen''s been trying his hand at new recipes,” Cecilia replied.

    With that, she ushered the children out.

    He began to think that perhaps Waylen posed the most significant challenge to his romantic aspirations.
