A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 2201-2210
Chapter 2201 Laura poured him a cup of coffee, her tone carrying a hint of apology as she mentioned that it was the only thing she could offer, given her lack of culinary skills. Mark accepted the coffee and responded with a touch of meaning.
“Cecilia isn't much of a cook either.” Laura gazed at him, her eyes still slightly red.
Mark chose not to dwell on the topic further. Instead, he opened the box of pastries he brought and encouraged her to eat them.
It was her favorite food.
Laura's Lips quivered.
Though Mark didn't explicitly mention it, Laura sensed that he had discovered her past connection with Edwin. As she nibbled on a piece of the pastry, she spoke in a soft tone.
“Uncle Mark, there's no longer any relationship between us. I won't ruin anything. I won't meet with him again. You can rest assured of that.” Angela's Library A profound sense of sorrow settled in Mark's heart.
Mark couldn't help but feel that he had failed in his promise to protect and care for her.
He couldn't deny that Laura had grown and flourished under Peter's guardianship.
She had not only thrived but had also developed remarkable talents.
Despite her success and talent, the presence of Edwin had clearly caused Laura significant distress.
Even in this moment, she was going out of her way to assure Mark that she wouldn't be a source of trouble or complications.
Mark didn't reply.
Instead, he offered her a cookie and spoke gently.
“It's not about that, Laura. Uncle Mark simply wanted to visit you.” Laura accepted the cookie and took a bite.
Then, she began to cry, her emotions finally spilling over.
No one could understand her feelings, no one.
The beginning of her relationship with Edwin had been wrong, and its conclusion had been nothing short of absurd. Even if they had shared an understanding of their feelings, circumstances had never allowed it to progress any further.
Laura silently wept, and Mark remained by her side quietly.
The paternal affection she had yearned for in her childhood, Mark could only provide in a limited capacity now, and he did so with all the sincerity he could muster.
Laura didn't cry for long.
Chapter 2202 She soon regained her composure and spoke in a subdued tone.
“I'm okay. In fact, I have a new boyfriend now, my agent, and he's really good to me.” Mark found it difficult to put his own feelings into words.
Ironically, on one hand, there was his own son, and on the other, the young girl to whom he owed so much.
ALL he could manage to say was, “That's good,” and then he tenderly ran his fingers through her glossy black hair.
She was pretty and petite, a type that Mark had never envisioned his brutish son being attracted to. It suddenly made sense why there had never been any genuine connection with Vanessa.
It seemed that Edwin's taste had been inherited from his father.
Outside, the snow continued to fall heavily, but within the confines of the apartment, warmth enveloped them.
As time passed, the issue was never raised again, and Mark chose not to broach the topic of compensation, realizing that it would be undignified and hurtful for Laura.
He simply kept her company, giving Laura the support and fatherly affection she had yearned for throughout her life.
‘When Mark left, it was nearly dawn.
Laura saw him downstairs. As Mark was getting into his car, he couldn't resist turning back and saying in a hushed tone, “Bring your boyfriend to meet me sometime. When you've decided to tie the knot, I'll take care of your dowry.” Laura nodded with a faint smile.
Outside, the winter cold had taken its toll, leaving Laura with a pale complexion and a red nose.
Mark urged her to go back upstairs, but Laura insisted on watching Mark's car until it disappeared before returning indoors.
Once back in her apartment, she made herself a cup of coffee and finished all the pastries Mark had brought.
After that, she felt too full to sleep.
Sitting on the sofa, she turned on the TV.
The room was warm, and right in front of her was the cup Mark had used.
Suddenly, Laura began to see things in a more positive light. She felt that everything wasn't as bleak as it had seemed. She wanted to find a boyfriend and live a life...
Mark drove back home through the heavy snowfall.
As he stepped into the villa, Mark's hair and coat were dusted with snowflakes. Edwin, waiting at the door, approached him and asked in a hushed tone, “Did you go to see her?” Mark sneered, his frustration evident.
“You dare to ask that question?”
Chapter 2203 Edwin pressed further, “What did she say?” Mark removed his coat and strolled into the hall, tossing it nonchalantly onto the sofa.
Still wearing a sneer, he replied, “She told me she's with someone else now. You better stay away from her! Since it’s over, you're not to contact her again,” Mark warned sternly.
“If your mother discovers this, I'll make sure you regret it” Edwin lowered his gaze.
Mark raised his voice, demanding, “Did you hear me?” Edwin smiled faintly and responded, “Didn't you mention she has a boyfriend now? So how could I possibly approach her?” Mark let out a soft hum and remarked, “Well, I can’t speak for you, can I? I really underestimated you before, but now it seems you're capable of any shameless act.” Having expressed his disappointment, Mark slowly ascended the stairs.
Edwin lingered in the living room for a moment before eventually returning to his own bedroom.
