Chapter 1660


    “What’s there to talk about?”


    Her voice sounded t.


    Mark murmured, “I’m trying to convince Cathy to let the Thomas family raise the child. After that…”


    Cecilia offered a subtle smile.


    She nced down, speaking with sorrow.


    “Mark, can’t you understand her intentions? She wants you. How could she possibly hand over the


    child to someone else? Sure, you have to try to convince her, but why must I be the one to wait for you


    to sort things out? Cathy will always find new excuses. There won’t be an end. The child needs


    education. The child falls ill. The child feels unhappy. One call to you and you’re summoned up to her


    side.”


    Mark was lost in thought.

    Mark’s gaze fell on her hopeless expression.


    Deliberately, he uttered while holding her hand, “I won’t see that child anymore once she’s discharged

    She pulled her hand away, reaching for her phone to dial her agent.


    Just yesterday, she had vowed not to postpone her work. She had pleaded relentlessly with her agent


    until she was granted permission to visit Czanch. However, now she found herself unable to keep that


    promise.


    Cecilia whispered while holding her phone.


    Her manner was exceedingly humble and courteous.


    Mark stood at the doorway, watching her in silence. Strands of her hair framed her pale face, and her


    shirt dress was in disarray, untouched in her haste.


    After ending the call, Cecilia faced Mark again.


    His gaze had grown profound.


    Cecilia sidestepped him, but his hand darted out, sping hers.


    There was a noticeable difference in strength between men and women.


    When Mark pulled her, she waspelled to lean into his embrace, burying her face in his shoulder.


    His scent, tinged with a trace of perfume, enveloped her.


    Cecilia spected that it might be due to his contact with Cathy.


    The scent was unmistakable, prompting Cecilia to murmur, “Let me go.
