A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2091 Once there were less people, Mark, in a low voice, told Zoey everything that had happened in Zameau and how Elaine had bribed Tracy to switched the food Zoey had cooked for Mark every day with her own.

‘When she heard that, Zoey almost fainted.

With a trembling finger, she pointed at the servant who had been with her for decades and said sadly, “You are indeed lost." Tracy threw herself to the floor and knelt in front of Zoey, begging for her forgiveness as tears streamed down her face.

“I... 1 just thought that lady looked decent, and she seemed to admire Mr. Evans very much. I had no idea she would do anything that horrible! I had no idea that she would drug Mr. Evans!” Tracy's voice trailed off before she burst into another crying spell filled with shame.

Zoey raised her walking stick and pointed at Tracy.

“You of all people should've known better! You know how hard exactly it was for me to give birth to Mark and Reina. Reina passed away early, and Mark survived narrowly. Not only is he a descendant of the Evans family, he is also the husband of Cecilia and the father of their two children! If you kill him in exchange for just a few bucks, how can I defend you to the Fowler family? How am I supposed to face my two grandkids? Do you want Cecilia to be a widow?” Tracy continued to cry bitterly, never once moving from her kneeling position.

Cecilia's lips moved, while Mark gently pulled her back.

Angela's Library After wiping away her tears, Zoey finally arrived at a decision. She raised her chin and declared, “You must've suffered a lot these past few days. From now on, you can no Longer stay in the Evans household.

This is final! When you look for a new job, don't ever mention the Evans family. Tracy, you know my temper.” After saying that, Zoey calmed herself and sat down.

She then looked through the bankbook in her hand and asked Peter to give it back to Tracy.

Meanwhile, Tracy kept crying and didn’t want to leave.

With a sniffle, Zoey said, “Although you work here as servants, I've saved all your retirement money for you. You have a total of 680, 000 dollars, but I have asked Lina to save another 400, @0@ dollars for each of you in the first half of the year.” Crestfallen, Zoey waved her hand and motioned to let Tracy go.

With face wet with tears, Tracy held the bankbook in her hand and profusely apologized to Zoey and Mark.

“Please don't kick me out!” she continued to beg.

Although Zoey's heart was aching, she stood her ground and continued waving her hand.

Once the yard was quiet, Zoey cast her eyes downward. The events of the day had exhausted her.

After a while, she called Cecilia over and told her, “I didn’t discipline my people well. Because of me, you had to suffer.” Cecilia held Zoey’s hand. Although she could see the hurt in Zoey’s face, she didn’t know how to comfort her.

Mark wanted to ease the tension and make Zoey feel better, so he told Cecilia, “Looks like Mom still needs to make decisions about important family matters. Whenever something like this happens to you, Cecilia, you just start crying.” He then turned to his mother and added, “You have to live a long life and guide Cecilia more.”

Chapter 2092 Zoey chuckled a bit and smiled.

She then hit Mark with her walking stick and scolded, “You have such a glib tongue! Cecilia is too young to be experienced. How about this? You have to prepare tonight's dinner. I'l be giving the servants a day off.” At the mention of this, Mark's eyes deepened.

“I can cook every day in the future, as long as Cecilia will stay and eat here every day.” Zoey's face soured.

“How could she refuse if you are nice to her?” Hearing this, Cecilia clung to Zoey lovingly.

Zoey had just lost someone whom she thought she could trust.

Cecilia's mere presence brought some comfort to her.

With a smile, Mark looked at Cecilia and proceeded to cook.

Around this time, the sun was starting to set.

Zoey was sitting on a deck chair and appeared to have calmed down.

Despite everything, she still couldn't shake off the fear in her heart. Mark almost had an accident. It was only natural for her to feel this way.

With this in mind, Zoey patted the back of Cecilia's hand and said, “I need you to go somewhere with me tomorrow.” Cecilia fixed her gaze on Zoey.

Angela's Library Zoey maintained a facade of composure, yet Cecilia discerned the heartache etched into her face.

The fear that lurked beneath also didn’t go unnoticed.

Zoey had envisioned peacefully enjoying her twilight years, especially when Mark had now returned, narrowly escaping a grim fate.

Her love for him ran deep, but unexpectedly, danger had crept perilously close.

Cecilia felt a profound empathy for Zoey.

For she, too, had been gripped by fear during those harrowing moments.

Cecilia stood by Zoey throughout the night. Meanwhile, Mark guided Edwin in his homework within the study, with Olivia nestled contentedly on his lap, occasionally tugging at his attention.

Hours went by and to Zoey’s surprise, it was already ten in the evening.

Following a stroll through the garden, Zoey realized Cecilia was still trailing her like a shadow. Zoey smiled and remarked, “It’s getting late. You don't plan to spend the night in my bed, do you?

Chapter 2093 Don't worry about me. I'm really fine.” Cecilia blushed slightly.

Zoey ushered her upstairs.

Up on the second floor, Mark was not in the master bedroom. Cecilia then found him in the children’s room.

Edwin lay sound asleep.

Mark reclined against the headboard, Olivia nestled upon him. Olivia was in her white onesie, still damp from a recent shower as she lay on Mark's chest, her head tilted slightly upwards.

In a hushed tone, Mark read a fairy tale to her.

When he reached the part about the wicked queen, she buried her face into his belly.

Cecilia lingered by the door, a hint of envy in her demeanor.

As Mark raised his gaze, his eyes bore a silent message for Cecilia to retreat to their bedroom first.

She then understood that Olivia was about to drift off to sleep.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Cecilia returned to the bedroom, where she took a shower. Emerging from the bathroom, she found Mark waiting inside the room.
