A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 2191-2200
Chapter 2191 Edwin watched their figures slowly vanish, staying silent, not calling out- He rationalized his presence, telling himself he just wanted to see her one last time.
Back in his car, Edwin received a call from Tina. Without hesitation, he instructed, “Cancel all my appointments for today.” Tina, surprised by his uncharacteristic disconnection from work, complied.
“Okay, Mr. Evans!” Just as Edwin was about to end the call, Tina added, “Oh, Mr. Evans, Miss Smith called. She said she couldn't reach you all night!" Edwin's brow furrowed.
Vanessa? He had nearly forgotten about her amidst everything.
After the call, he dialed Vanessa's number.
Vanessa, though a skilled businesswoman, adopted a playful tone with Edwin.
“Mr. Evans, you're quite elusive,” she teased.
Edwin was accustomed to such flirtations in the business world, where many women tried different approaches to catch his attention.
Vanessa's flirtation neither bothered nor interested him.
After a pause, Edwin proposed, “Let's meet” Vanessa agreed, though her tone lacked enthusiasm, aware that a business hour meeting was rarely a positive sign.
An hour later, they sat in a cafe downtown.
Edwin didn’t beat around the bush.
“Vanessa, we're not right for each other. I think it's best to end things here,” he stated.
Vanessa, her expression calm, tapped her porcelain cup elegantly.
Looking at Edwin, she remarked, “You're heartbroken.” Edwin's eyes narrowed.
“Have you been investigating me?” With a subtle smile, Vanessa took a sip from her cup.
Chapter 2192 “Naturally, I'd research a potential partner. Knowing about any deep connections helps me navigate.” Edwin urged, “Get to the point” Vanessa, appearing almost amused by the situation, continued, “Laura is quite attractive.
I imagine if not for family issues, you'd have chosen her-* Edwin, losing his patience, stood up to leave.
Vanessa abruptly softened her tone.
“Let's work together, Edwin. I need to take control of my family business, and you need a wife to keep you focused. If you can convince Laura to be your — lover, I'll look the other way.” Edwin's response was icy.
“She would never agree to that.” He was also adamant about not letting Laura be treated with such disrespect.
Vanessa's smile held a trace of sadness.
She had expected a refusal but was taken aback when Edwin acquiesced.
“Let's give it a year. If it works, we can consider an engagement.” Vanessa's lips curved in satisfaction.
“It's a deal, Mr. Evans.” Edwin didn't linger for more conversation. He left swiftly and sat in his car, deep in thought.
After a moment, he took out his phone and opened a photo.
It was of Laura, face covered in cream while attempting to make a cake on Valentine's Day, her laughter infectious.
Edwin had captured that candid moment.
He gazed at the photo for a long while, and then secured it in a private album.
Vanessa was correct. He needed a wife for social reasons.
As Christmas approached, Vanessa called, inviting him to celebrate the holiday together. Edwin, still at his office, pondered the invitation.
Holding the phone, Edwin responded with composure, “Happy Holidays! Unfortunately, I'm tied up with work. Let's plan for another time.”
Chapter 2193 There was a soft sigh from Vanessa.
“Understood. You're always so busy,” she remarked, a tinge of resignation in her voice. After the call, Edwin turned his attention back to his paperwork.
A knock came from the door. Tina's voice followed.
“Mr. Evans, it's time to head home.” Without looking up, Edwin answered distractedly, “I just need to finish this up. It's Christmas, isn’t it? You should head off early.” Tina's face brightened with a smile.
“Merry Christmas, Mr. Evans!” She left, her steps light and cheerful.
Edwin glanced up, catching a glimpse of her in a festive, elegant dress.
His thoughts momentarily drifted.
Christmas — What could Laura be doing? Was she still overseas? He scrolled through his phone, hesitating over a number but ultimately refraining from calling.
Rising from his desk, he put on his wool coat and exited the office.
