A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 1871-1880

Her eyes were starting to grow heavy.

Cecilia came over and said softly, “She likes you very much.”

Her words made Mark smile.

He then patted Edwin’s head and requested, “I want to sleep with Edwin tonight. Is that okay?”

Cecilia hesitated.

Logically speaking, Mark was related to the Fowler family because of Rena and Waylen’s marriage. It wasn’t really inappropriate for him to stay overnight. However, the problem here was that he and Cecilia had a history and she was now in a relationship with someone else.

Cecilia was in a pickle.

As the silence between his parents grew longer, Edwin’s eyes dimmed and he slowly stood up.

“I’m going to bed,” he declared and placed his hand on Olivia.

With a hunched back, Edwin left, dragging his feet across the floor.

Mark couldn’t bear the dejected look on Edwin’s face. Before he could say something, Cecilia beat him to the punch.

“You stay with him.”

At that moment, Mark’s heart skipped a beat. His mouth was agape, unable to utter any word.

In the middle of the night, Cecilia took a deep breath and calmed the emotions brewing inside her.

“Mark, who should be blamed for this?”

“Me,” Mark answered, his voice almost cracking.

Throughout Edwin’s growth, he had been an absentee father. The only time he could show his son some affection was during their monthly meeting.

As such, Mark only saw Edwin a handful of times.

Mark brushed Olivia’s hair with his fingers and stayed with her until she fell asleep.

Since it wasn’t appropriate for him to enter Cecilia’s bedroom, he let her take over Olivia once her fever had gone down before turning to Edwin’s bedroom.

Right now, Edwin was at odds with his father. Mark positioned himself beside Edwin and gently stroked his head.

“I won’t leave anymore,” he whispered to him.

Edwin turned around.

His body felt warm under the quilt. He put his arms around Mark’s neck and rested his head on his chest.

“I don’t want to call someone else dad,” he murmured.

He didn’t care whether that person was handsome, or if he was considerate to him, his mother, and his sister. He could see that his mother was unhappy. There were times that he could even hear her cry at night.

His mind then was transported back to the wedding at Evans Gardon in Czanch.

Edwin would never forget that day.

He hated himself for being too young to do anything.

Feeling his frustration, Mark held the little boy in his arms and gently stroked his back.

“In the future, I will come here more often to see you and your sister.”

Edwin didn’t say anything. He just snuggled closer to Mark’s arms.

He hadn’t slept with Mark for a long time.

Mark knew this too, a realization that caused a pang in his heart.

With this in mind, he took off his coat, unbuttoned his belt, and put the little boy on his belly.

“You’re so cold!” Edwin complained.

“My body’s warmer than yours!”

Mark wanted to push Edwin away, but his son kept pestering him.

“I will make you feel warm,” Edwin murmured.

Mark lowered his head and buried it in the little boy’s hair.

He took a sharp inhale, and after a long while, he said, “You silly boy.”

The next day, he got up early in the morning.

He kissed his son before he got dressed and knocked on Cecilia’s door.

Since Olivia still had a fever, Cecilia had to wake up early.

When she opened the door, he saw her with disheveled hair and tired eyes. She must not have had a good sleep last night.

Although she didn’t look as glamorous as last night, there was a homey quality in her current appearance that stirred something within Mark.

He peeked his head through the door and asked, “How’s Olivia?”

Cecilia stared at him for a while before she stepped aside and fully opened the door.

“Her fever is almost gone,” she said.

“Go in and have a look.”

Unsure whether what he had heard was real, Mark looked at Cecilia for a while before he entered.

Looking at Olivia and how peacefully she slept, it was hard to believe that this same girl was making such a big fuss last night.

She had a light pink pajama on, with her body positioned sideways on the bed, while a wisp of her curly brown hair rested on the pillow.

She was an adorable sight to behold.

Mark slowly reached out his hand and brushed Olivia’s cheek with his finger. Then, he bent down to kiss her.

Just like what Cecilia had said, her fever had gone down.

Mark exhaled a sigh of relief. Then, he realized that it was no longer appropriate for him to stay in Cecilia’s bedroom.
