A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2081 Acknowledging him, Cecilia nodded.

A shadow crossed Peter's face.

“We overlooked Elaine's previous actions, yet she betrayed our trust. There's only one route forward-ensuring she can't cause more issues.” Cecilia regarded Peter, She began to grasp the challenges Mark faced regularly.

Yet, just as quickly as it had appeared, Peter’s stern expression melted away.

He casually mentioned, “There's an informant within the Evans’ estate in Duefron. Mr. Evans intends to keep his mother in the dark, fearing it might devastate her to learn someone she's trusted for decades has betrayed her.” Understanding the gravity, Cecilia nodded.

After their brief talk, Peter departed swiftly to address urgent matters.

Outside Mark's room, four bodyguards kept a vigilant watch, ensuring only select visitors entered.

Later that afternoon, Mark stirred awake.

Feeling the warmth of Olivia cuddling close, he met her big, expectant eyes.

“Lunch,” she stated simply.

Checking the time, Mark realized it was already past two.

Concerned, he sat up, noting Edwin's presence.

“Olivia's been awake for a while,” Edwin remarked.

The kids hadn't had lunch yet? He gently chided Edwin, who sat nearby, “Why didn’t you feed her?” Feeling better, Mark carried Olivia to the restroom. Once done changing her diaper, he planted a kiss on her forehead.

Cecilia began setting out the meal.

Hungry, Mark was midway through when he paused, asking, “Is it okay for you to stay? What about the filming?” Tossing her hair nonchalantly, Cecilia replied, “We're recasting a supporting role. Filming’s on hold for now.” Mark didn’t press further.

Both were acutely aware of the looming issue with Elaine.

After taking a few bites, Cecilia whispered, “Once I finish this drama, I'm done with acting.” Mark met her gaze, sensing the gravity behind her words.

Chapter 2082 Even with their children present, she confessed, “I want to be with you, always. No more separations.” Without words, Mark reached under the table, softly gripping her hand.

“Eat up,” he coaxed gently.

“You seem to have lost weight” Their meal continued in silence, the atmosphere punctuated only by their children's quiet eating. Eventually, Mark offered, “I'l be the provider of our family. You my dear, pursue whatever makes you happy.” Cecilia nodded in acknowledgment.

To Edwin, it seemed his father held an air of authority.

The boy perceived that Mark treated Cecilia with tender protectiveness, akin to a guardian watching over a cherished treasure.

Three days passed with Mark in the hospital.

During this period, under Peter's orchestration, Cecilia confronted Elaine in a grim detention facility.

The room's stark environment was illuminated only by a thin ray of sunlight, contrasting starkly with Cecilia's elegant, rose-hued dress.

Her graceful beauty and glowing complexion testified to her privileged upbringing.

Elaine glared at Cecilia as she entered the visiting room, her eyes seething with envy.

As she sat, the clinking of her handcuffs punctuated the tension.

Without flinching, Cecilia met her gaze.

Elaine's voice dripped with mockery.

“Had my plan succeeded, our roles would be reversed. I would be Mrs. Evans, and youd be the forgotten one.” Cecilia's response was serene.

“Life doesn't deal in hypotheticals, Miss Shaw. Even if your scheme had worked, even if you were with child, Mark would never have chosen you.” Anger flashed across Elaine's features.

Cecilia's calm demeanor persisted.

“You seduced a man without understanding him. And for that, you have my pity.” Elaine shot back, “Your arrogance means nothing. I might be incarcerated and removed from the film, but 'm young. I still have opportunities” Cecilia's voice grew soft yet resolute.

Chapter 2083 “Your chances are gone. I've seen the power Mark commands. And trust me, if you had witnessed it, you wouldn't have dared even approach him.” Elaine, increasingly agitated, accused, “You only want to see me broken. What makes you think you're so worthy of him? Other than bearing his children, what have you given him?” With rising intensity, Elaine exclaimed, “I'd offer him everything.” Cecilia listened, her silence speaking volumes.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Elaine slammed her hands on the table, causing a raucous.

Guards rushed in, restraining her.

Struggling to maintain her composure, Elaine retorted, “You don't truly care for him. Even now, he doesn't have a proper home. He relies on meals prepared by others. Have you ever personally cooked for him? I would. I could genuinely care for him." Cecilia absorbed Elaine's accusations, and then countered, “You think the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? And with spiked food? Mark had health concerns, which is why he relied on specialized meals. But do you genuinely believe a man would choose a partner simply based on culinary talents alone? Such a simplistic view.” She continued, “I don't need to prove myself to you by showcasing cooking skills. If Mark desires a home-cooked meal, Id gladly prepare it.

But your judgment of my worth based on that is laughable.” ANGELA'sLIBRARY Pausing, Cecilia reflected on the root of Elaine's malevolence.

Elaine and Mavis shared a similar delusion, believing they were the saviors to the men they loved. But in reality, their motives were steeped in self-interest, masking their true ambitions. Compassion for such individuals was undeserved.

As Cecilia gracefully exited, Elaine's spiteful outbursts followed.

Yet, they were swiftly interrupted by a sharp slap.

Emerging outdoors, a gleaming black limousine awaited.

Peter, leaning against it while taking a drag from his cigarette, looked up as Cecilia approached.

“Did your talk with her conclude?” he queried.

Acknowledging with a nod, Cecilia retrieved a document pertaining to Elaine. Scanning its contents briefly, she remarked softly, “Her childhood traumas have led to her present-day dysfunctions. Peter, handle this as you deem appropriate. I don't want her disrupt our life anymore in the future.” Comprehending her wishes, Peter made a quick call.
