Cecilia hesitated for a moment.

She seldom dined out with him.

Biting her lower lip, she said, “I want to have Thai food.”

Mark pinched her cheek gently and said, “Sure, we’ll have Thai food.”

Cecilia was eager to get out of the car, but Mark held her back and said, “Put on your coat.”

She refused, saying it was just a short walk to the elevator. She acted coquettishly and asked Mark to hold her coat for her. Mark fulfilled her little wish.

He watched her walk ahead. The square was adorned with small lights to create a festive atmosphere, and they lit up like tiny stars in the Milky Way at night.

However, Cecilia was even more dazzling than the Milky Way.

Mark stopped her.

“Cecilia.”

Cecilia turned around and complained softly, “Mark, why are you walking so slow?”

Mark quickened his pace, put her coat over her shoulders, and then held her in his arms, Lowering his head to give her a deep kiss. It wasn’t just a simple kiss. It was a passionate one.

She could taste the faint hint of tobacco on his lips.

Mark enticed Cecilia into returning the kiss. She felt a bit shy and gently pushed against his chest with one hand while her other hand rested on his heart.

Cecilia eventually surrendered to the kiss.

Then, Mark pulled up her coat to cover her face.

When it was over, Cecilia’s heart was racing. Mark was much taller than her, and she nestled into his neck, complaining softly, “Someone must have seen us.”

Mark chuckled. He touched her face and whispered, “Cecilia, I’ve never been so impulsive.”

This was Czanch, which housed his relatives, friends, and subordinates. Those people could potentially spot them.

But when he heard her call him in such a soft tone, he couldn’t hold back his desire to kiss her anymore.

Cecilia understood the reason behind his sudden kiss. In a soft tone, she said, “I won’t call you that way anymore. I’ll just call you in a normal way.”

Mark gazed at Cecilia with deep eyes while helping her put on her coat.

Cecilia seemed dissatisfied.

“I’ll have to take it off when we get to the restaurant.”

“Just put it on. If you’re so eager to take off your clothes, you can do that whenever you want when we get back home,” Mark replied in a deep, commanding voice.

Cecilia fell silent, her face slightly reddening at his shameless words.

Seeing her walk ahead angrily, Mark pulled her back to him, allowing her to hold onto him.

Cecilia was still a little annoyed, but she couldn’t bring herself not to hold his strong waist.

Mark restrained himself a bit when they arrived at the restaurant.

Sensitive as she ever was, Cecilia noticed that when Mark was seated, all the women in the restaurant couldn’t take their eyes off him.

Cecilia stared at the man across from her.

Mark had a flawless face, a tall, well-dressed figure, and he exuded undeniable charm.

Cecilia felt a twinge of jealousy.

Mark served some food on her plate and said in a low voice, “What?

You are so captivated by me that you can’t help but stare at me all the time. Why not eat some first?”

Cecilia nodded and began eating.

Mark gently touched her head and said, “After this, we’ll go see some jewelry. I couldn’t make the time to accompany you before. Now that we’re here, I want to buy you some refined jewelry.”

Cecilia hadn’t put on the engagement ring. She probably wanted to save it for the wedding. Mark couldn’t help but be amused. Did she think he was lack of wealth and thus saved money for him?

Although Cecilia had plenty of jewelry, women often desired their loved ones to gift them with such treasures.

Cecilia lowered her head and began peeling a shrimp without saying anything. Mark, guessing her thoughts, peeled the shrimp for her and placed it in a small bowl.

Those around them looked at Cecilia with jealousy.

Mark then filled another bowl of soup for her.

“This is good for you.

Drink up.”

Cecilia drank contentedly.

However, as she recalled something, she couldn’t help but complain,

“You must have dined out with Miss Holt quite often. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have known about these things so well.”

Mark’s eyes took on a deep, contemplative look.

After a moment, he whispered, “It’s rare for us to have dinner alone.

Don’t be mischievous, okay?”

He coaxed her gently, and it worked.

Cecilia was obedient to him, nodding and refraining from arguing.

Mark felt a warmth within him as he saw her lower her head, appearing so obedient and easy to coax. He believed they would enjoy such a wonderful life together for decades.

After dinner, they went shopping, and Cecilia clung to him the entire time.

Mark had never seen such a clingy woman, but he liked it.

He took her to a jewelry store where the manager had been eagerly awaiting them, having already prepared some exquisite, non-displayed pieces.

“Mr. Evans, these are some of our brand’s heirlooms, typically not on public display,” the manager explained, glancing at Cecilia and wondering what kind of lucky woman had captured Mark’s heart.

The manager was slightly stunned when he saw the way Cecilia showed.

With his keen eye, he could tell she hailed from a wealthy family.

Cecilia remained composed as she examined the five sets of jewelry, which included rubies, sapphires, diamonds, and emeralds.

Each set was valued at a minimum of $50 million.
