A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2061 Her assistant’s cheeks reddened, and she quickly made her exit. Mark chuckled.

“What's on your mind? Did you think I was just coming for that? Honestly, with all the mergers I'm handling, even if you were up for it, I'd be out of steam.” With a hint of playfulness, she teased, “Maybe it's just age catching up to you.” He countered, “Oh, Cecilia, we could always see about that.” “Challenge accepted.” Feeling uplifted, Cecilia scanned Yarmose hotels, securing a suite in a plush one. She jotted down some essentials, texting them to her housekeeper, emphasizing the importance of packing everything.

After all, the kids were coming.

Later, on set, Simon greeted her, not missing a beat, “You seem... brighter. Someone special visiting?” With a subtle smile, Cecilia gave nothing away.

Simon's probing got him nowhere.

Elaine, observing the exchange, couldn't help the sour twist of her lips.

Recently, Mark and Cecilia seemed closer than ever. Elaine didn't need to pry into details; Cecilia's glowing demeanor said it all, she got that after-sex glow about her.

Elaine was taken aback by Mark's vitality despite his age.

Angela's Library There was a general belief that as men aged, they Lost some of their... vigor. So, what kept their relationship so vibrant? Elaine was filled with envy and Longing.

Though she'd connected with someone after parting ways with Chandler, she hadn't been intimate with anyone for quite some time.

Occasionally, her thoughts would wander to Mark during the night, and such fantasies stirred deep emotions within her.

On the set, the dynamics between Cecilia and Elaine were evident.

While Elaine had formal training, Cecilia never felt inferior. True growth, Cecilia believed, came from challenging oneself against the best, not by comparing oneself to those lagging behind.

After a series of scenes, Cecilia retreated to her van to relax.

She hadn't anticipated Mark's surprise for the evening; he'd flown the children to Yarmose. She was relieved the hotel she'd chosen wasn't crowded; it allowed for Last-minute accommodations.

Arriving at the airport, Cecilia waited with anticipation.

It wasn't long before Mark emerged, one child in his embrace and the other holding his hand.

Two familiar staff members, who often assisted Cecilia taking care of her kids, trailed behind with the Luggage.

Edwin greeted his mother with a modicum of restraint, while Olivia, unrestrained in her joy, lunged into Cecilia's arms, showering her with drooly kisses.

Chapter 2062 It was a good thing Cecilia had removed her makeup before leaving the film set.

As Mark approached, holding Edwin's hand, his gaze lingered on Cecilia.

“You look even more beautiful without makeup,” he commented softly.

Flustered, Cecilia tried to divert the attention.

“I've made hotel arrangements. Should we dine there or find someplace else?” Turning to Edwin, Mark inquired, “What's your preference, champ?” This was Edwin's first visit to Yarmose.

Although it was late autumn, Yarmose's weather was still quite warm.

Edwin had read about the diverse culinary delights the city had to offer, especially the street food.

“I'm not too tired,” Edwin responded slowly to Mark’s inquiry about dinner.

Mark chuckled.

“He has a way of beating around the bush with his words. I wonder who he gets that from.” Edwin responded with a slight purse of his lips, maintaining his reserved demeanor.

Once they reached the car, Mark gently assisted his son inside, suggesting, “Why don't we relax a bit at the hotel and then head out to explore?” Cecilia found the idea appealing; it wasn't often the four of them got to spend quality time together.

Inside the car, Mark sat beside Cecilia.

When he thought no one was watching, he planted a soft kiss on her cheek, murmuring, “I missed you, that's why I came.” Cecilia, astute as she was, understood his sentiments.

However, with the children and the servants in the car as well, she felt it best to keep things discreet. She simply intertwined her fingers with his.

Mark responded by tightening his grip, showing his reluctance to let her go.

Olivia, young and innocent, watched them, not entirely grasping the depth of their connection.

Edwin observed the exchange and understood the undertones of the moment, his cheeks warming with a blush. Despite the slight embarrassment, there was a glint of happiness in his eyes.

An hour's drive later, they arrived at the hotel.

As they stepped out, Cecilia, holding Olivia, remarked softly, “The film set is just a 5-minute drive from here. It’s very convenient.”

Chapter 2063 Mark, slipping an arm around Cecilia's waist, chose to remain silent.

Once in their suite, he continued, drawing her close from behind, “Stay with us. I'll drive you to the set each day.” Flushing at the sentiment, Cecilia demurred, “We'll see.” This gentle pushback wasn't a firm denial, but rather a flirtatious dance between them, adding depth to Mark's fond memories.

After a demanding day at the company, Mark felt the weight of fatigue and opted for a refreshing shower.

Meanwhile, Cecilia assisted the kids with unpacking.

Olivia playfully presented her diaper, seeking attention, while Edwin efficiently organized his belongings. Cecilia, despite being a mother of two, struggled to keep pace with everything.

Fresh from his shower and changed into comfortable clothes, Mark approached Cecilia. Noticing her slight struggle with the clothes, he gently took them from her, hanging them with care.

Having been apart for a week, Cecilia's yearning for Mark became evident when she saw him step out, looking renewed. Overwhelmed with emotion, she playfully embraced him from behind, whispering, “What would I do without you, Uncle Mark?” Chuckling, Mark quipped, “I should probably pray for a longer life tomorrow at church.” ANGELA'SLIBRARY Feigning annoyance, Cecilia retorted, “Oh, stop it!” But before she could say more, Mark gently shut the closet door, cupped her face, and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
