A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 771-780
Yet, from the beginning to the end, the only thing he offered her was clandestine happiness within the confines of that apartment.
He never even acknowledged their relationship publicly.
*
Mark sat inside the car.
As the car halted near the apartment building, he placed a call.
In truth, he shouldn’t have come but he couldn’t resist making this special trip, even keeping it hidden from his personal secretary.
Cecilia declined his offer.
Mark ascended the stairs and unlocked the door to the apartment.
He had already arranged for it to be cleaned beforehand.
Everything remained unchanged, except for the absence of that one person.
Mark, known for his scheming nature, had never felt such deep desolation and longing to see someone in his entire life.
He sat on the sofa throughout the night.
Recalling the intensity of their past connection, he remembered how she would lie in his embrace and affectionately call him Uncle Mark. @
There had never been a girl as pure and uncomplicated as her.
Everyone around him seemed seasoned and sophisticated.
Individuals like him had long lost their innocence, but in his early forties, he found himself entangled in a love affair with a young woman. He cherished her, yet he didn’t wish for her to be entwined in his dangerous world.
His world held too many perils.
However, she lacked the means to protect herself, so he had to divert his attention to safeguard her.
Subsequently, following that incident two years ago, she appeared disheartened, and he also began to feel that they were ill-suited for each other…
They had been separated for over two years, and he had believed that he had moved on, but Waylen had unintentionally reopened his old wounds.
As it turned out, he hadn’t truly gotten over her.
The first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the apartment.
Mark rose and prepared breakfast. Subsequently, out of habit, he made his way to the bedroom, intending to wake the girl and share their usual meal together. She had a hearty appetite but was undemanding. She always had a fondness for junk food.
However, the bedroom was empty.
The fragrance of her hair had long dissipated from the bed.
Mark walked out of the bedroom with a heavy heart and ate breakfast alone…
Peter called, informing him of a meeting scheduled for ten o’clock.
Mark responded casually, “Postpone it until tomorrow. I’m in Duefron. I want to see Rena and Alexis.”
Peter understood the situation all too well.
He sighed, recognizing that Cecilia was the sole person in Mark’s life whom he had failed.
Mark indeed went to visit Rena.
He brought toys that Alexis adored and arrived early.
Fortunately, he managed to avoid encountering Waylen, as the man had departed on a business trip early that morning.
However, Rena was perceptive. She felt a slight unease upon seeing Mark.
Observing the loving expression on Mark’s face as he spent time with Alexis, Rena couldn’t help but think of Edwin.
In a hushed voice, she inquired, “Uncle, have you ever considered starting a family?”
Mark smiled. “What? Are you here to persuade me on behalf of your grandmother?”
Rena remained silent and prepared coffee silently.
After a while, she softly said, “I’ve noticed how fond you are of children.”
Mark lifted Alexis and planted a tender kiss on her cheek. “I have Alexis, and that’s enough.”
Alexis returned the affectionate gesture, holding Mark’s handsome face in her small hands. Speaking softly, she remarked,
“Edwin is handsome too. He has brown hair and smooth skin, just like me.”
Mark furrowed his brow and inquired, “Who is Edwin?”
Rena placed the coffee on the table and cradled Alexis in her arms. “He is a child from the Fowler family.”
It wasn’t a falsehood.
Without dwelling too much on it, Mark forced a smile.
He had come here to inquire about Cecilia, yet Rena remained tight-lipped, refusing to utter a single word regarding her.
Mark thought Rena was astute.
While conversing with Mark, Rena tossed a phone to Alexis.
Alexis glanced at Mark and then at her mother.
Rena smile, and Alexis instantly grasped her intention.
With determination, Alexis began typing on the phone.
“Auntie Cece, I miss you.”
“Mom isn’t feeling well. Can you come and drive me to school?”
Afterwards, Alexis tossed the phone onto the sofa.
Mark voiced his disapproval. “It’s not suitable for such a young child to play with a phone.”
Rena discreetly checked the messages and smiled. “She was just checking her kindergarten homework. Waylen always insisted that she do it on her own.”
Thereafter, Mark fell silent.
He remained seated for a while before preparing to take his leave. His mood was already sour.
Rena invited him to stay for another cup of coffee. Just as the sound of a car echoed in the courtyard, she smiled and remarked, “Alright, I won’t keep you any longer if you have other business to attend to. I’ll bring Alexis to visit Grandma in Czanch another day.”
Mark gently patted her head, turned around and departed.
