Chapter 2101 Mark wore a subtle smile.

What was going through her mind? Yet, he found her petulance endearing, and he enjoyed their conversations all the more for it.

His voice melded softly with the rhythmic sounds of vegetables being sliced on a cutting board.

“You don't have to do everything for I'll take care of you.

Rena knows what she wants and she’s working hard for it. You need to live your life the way you want. You don't have to compare yourself with anyone else. You're just you. Even if you don't know how to «cook, what does it matter?” A mix of embarrassment and irritation surged through Cecilia as she sharply pinched his belly.

Mark merely smiled.

“You're such a big baby.” After putting the kids to bed later that evening, they made passionate love.

With that, the issue was settled.

For now, Cecilia had shelved any thoughts of learning to cook.

The following afternoon.

Mark sat in his office. He signed off on a document and passed it to his secretary.

“Any commitments for today?” After pondering for a moment, the secretary answered, “You have a dinner event tonight, though it's not essential.” “Please cancel it for me then.” Mark capped his pen, grabbed his coat, and stood up, ready to step out for something special.

The item had been air-freighted from Ypsila.

He'd received a phone call earlier that morning.

Closing the office blinds, Mark turned to his secretary, “I won't be returning to the office today.” His secretary noticed his uplifted mood and smiled.

“Mr. Evans, are you planning to meet with Miss Fowler?”

Chapter 2102 A faint smile crossed Mark's Lips.

He offered no denial.

Descending the stairs, Mark found his driver already waiting. He stepped into the car.

The limousine proceeded to tail the security vehicle, one in front of the other.

The driver peered into the rearview mirror.

“Mr. Evans, where should I take you?" Mark told the driver the address.

With a deft maneuver, the driver redirected the vehicle.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived in front of an elite salon. The establishment's manager was already standing by, poised to welcome them.

The manager graciously held the door open for Mark.

“Mr. Evans, the VAR piece you've commissioned is ready. Would you like to have your wife try it on, or...” Mark followed her inside, his tone casual.

“I'll take it with me now.” ANGELA'sLIBRARY The manager nodded approvingly.

“Certainly. If any adjustments are needed, you can bring it back for alterations.” She personally went to retrieve the dress.

The brand behind this dress was one of prestige, serving only the European royal families. That Mark was able to acquire such a piece was truly noteworthy.

Handing Mark an elegantly designed large box, the manager smiled.

Upon opening the box, Mark laid eyes on an intricately crafted white dress adorned with embroidered feathers.

He'd spent an entire week choosing before he found the perfect gown.

Back in the car, Mark couldn't resist pulling a small box from his pocket.

It was a 12-carat pink diamond that he had just acquired recently, encircled by smaller floral diamonds.

Soft yet stunning, it was the perfect for Cecilia.

Mark wore a gentle smile, which was abruptly interrupted as the black limo came to a sudden halt, causing him to Lurch forward and strike the seat in front of him. A wave of dizziness washed over him.

Chapter 2103 Mark's expression tightened.

The driver was quick to interject, “Mr. Evans, I can assure you this was unforeseeable. A woman has just run out in front of the car.

I'll step out to investigate.” Something didn't feel right to Mark.

Exiting the vehicle, he followed the driver, only to pause in bewilderment.

It was Elaine who had thrown herself in the car’s path.

The contrast was stark. Gone was the lustrous, well-kempt woman he once knew. Her appearance was haggard, her once-shiny hair now dry and lifeless. But what shocked him the most were her legs.

She was now limping and unable to walk properly.

Mark observed her in silence.

Slowly picking herself up off the ground, Elaine locked eyes with him.

She stared at the man she had once revered.

Her lips quivered as she finally broke the silence, her voice filled with a question she could no longer contain...

The driver impulsively kicked Elaine and spat out, “Are you out of your mind? Sleep-walking in broad daylight, are you? You ask Mr. Evans ‘why’? You have no right to even ask such things. Do you understand?” Mark shot the driver a glance, and the latter immediately felt a twinge of embarrassment.
