“What’s there to talk about?”

Her voice sounded flat.

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

Cecilia offered a subtle smile.

She glanced 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?
