A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2241-2250

Chapter 2241 Mixed emotions played across Peter's face as Edwin, holding gifts, stood before him.

“Happy birthday, Uncle peter,” Edwin said respectfully.

On such a significant day, Peter couldn't afford to lose his composure.

He managed a strained smile.

“Suddenly, I don't feel so happy anymore!” In front of the guests, he couldn't embarrass Mark. He quickly directed the servants to discreetly remove the conspicuous gifts.

Then, lowering his voice, he asked Edwin, “Have you lost your mind, young man?” Edwin's eyes sought Laura.

After a moment, he murmured, “I'm serious.” Peter worked to control his rising anger. Just then, Lina approached.

He shot her a piercing look.

She must have known all along and kept it from him! Lina responded with a cold scoff.

“The foolish one is you!” ANGELA'sLIBRARY Peter held back his anger and ushered the Evans family inside. As they passed by Laura, she stiffened, unable to meet Edwin's gaze.

Edwin remained silent, but as they brushed shoulders, his fingers lightly touched hers.

Laura bit her lip.

Meanwhile, Cecilia, oblivious to the situation, whispered to Mark, “Laura looks lovelier than before. You know so many people, Mark. You should find her a good match.” Mark replied with a hint of meaning, “I don't really know anyone more outstanding than our own son.” Cecilia, not understanding the implication, felt a surge of pride of her son.

She had brought up her children well.

Mark gazed at his wife's innocent look, his emotions a complex mix of affection and nostalgia. He loved her simplicity, a trait nurtured by his indulgence over the years.

Penney was sharp-witted.

She immediately picked up on the tension between Edwin and Laura.

Chapter 2242 Knowing about the families’ connections from her husband, she now saw an opportunity to deepen her involvement.

Coming from a distinguished background, she kept Cecilia engaged in light conversation, also taking great care of little Olivia.

The villas hall was alive with festivities. Western music played in the background, local renowned singers performed love songs, creating a blend of weird harmony.

Laura felt uneasy.

As Edwin approached, she didn’t want to confront him in front of others, so she retreated upstairs.

She was relieved that no one came to bother her.

In the evening, there was a knock at the door.

“Miss Laura, your mother sent some food for you,” came a voice.

“Please come in,” Laura responded softly.

The door opened, revealing not a servant but Edwin.

He held a tray and quietly closed the door with his foot, observing her silently.

Laura rose slowly, her heart pounding with a mixture of confusion and nervousness.

Edwin's voice, deeper and softer than she remembered, broke the silence.

“Are you going to avoid me forever?” “I'm not,” she replied quietly.

“That's good. Why don't you eat something?” he suggested, setting the tray down.

As Edwin straightened up, their eyes locked.

Laura's Lips trembled slightly.

She was baffled by his presence. He had left her once, and now, he was back and kept popping up in her life. This left her more baffled and scared than before.

Edwin took a step closer, gently cradling the back of her head and moving in to kiss her.

Their kiss was gentle yet filled with emotion.

Laura's response was hesitant, her lips quivering as she took a step back.

Edwin, however, held her closer, deepening the kiss with a passion that spoke volumes of his feelings.

Startled, Laura found herself still in his embrace, his intentions clear.\

Chapter 2243 When she found it hard to breathe, she pushed him away. Both were left breathless, Edwin's face showing the flush of intense emotion.

“My Dad has agreed,” he said, looking at her earnestly.

Laura's complexion turned pale, and she trembled visibly. She had harbored feelings for Edwin once, drawn to everything he was. But upon learning his true identity, she had never allowed herself to dream of a future with him.

There was an internal struggle within her.

Laura averted her eyes, taking a moment before meeting his gaze again.

“Mr. Evans, I don’t understand what you mean.” “I want to be with you. I want to marry you,” he stated plainly.

Laura offered a faint smile, her voice soft.

“But I can't. I liked you, Edwin, but I can’t imagine being with Uncle Mark's son. I'm sorry, but I just don’t have the courage to even dream of it.” ANGELA'sLIBRARY If she had known who he was from the beginning, she would have walked away without waiting for him to leave her.

Life wasn't a fairy tale, especially not for her.

Her dreams of fairy tales had been shattered long ago.

Edwin was visibly taken aback by her firmness.
