A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2281-2290

Chapter 2281 “Here's your gift” she said.

Laura was taken aback, her eyes welling up slightly.

Mark, too, presented her with a gift, smiling.

“Aren't you going to accept Cecilia's gift?” Laura hesitated, her emotions evident.

She felt uneasy, unsure about her place in the house and whether she was genuinely welcome. She could tell that Cecilia had sensed something but she still chose to offer her a gift.

As she reached out to take it, Edwin's hand was quicker.

“Laura doesn't have pockets. I'l hold it for her,” he said, almost making a statement with his action.

The room fell silent.

This gesture was almost like an official announcement, subtle yet clear.

All eyes turned to Cecilia.

Edwin, knowing he was pushing boundaries, waited for his mother’s response. He was determined to be with Laura, regardless of her opinion.

Cecilia's expression shifted subtly.

Angela's Library She was affected by the situation.

Her son was with the daughter of someone she hated.

Edwin sought her approval.

Cecilia pondered. She knew she wouldn't stand in their way.

Edwin had to live his own life, and she couldn't prevent them from being together just because of her own resentment towards the poor girl's mother. That would not only keep Laura from the Evans family but also distance Edwin.

Her emotions were mixed and hard to articulate.

After a moment, Cecilia removed a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Edwin.

“Put this on Laura,” she said.

Edwin, overcome with emotion, could hardly speak.

Cecilia remained silent.

Her love for Edwin was profound, shaped by their past hardships.

Chapter 2282 She had always wanted to make amends.

Laura was Cathy's daughter, but if being with her made Edwin happy, Cecilia was prepared to accept it.

However, she needed time to process this.

Eventually, Edwin handed the bracelet to Laura, who now had a look of bewilderment.

Laura felt tears welling up.

She whispered, “Thank you, Mrs. Evans.” Cecilia responded with a faint smile.

Under the table, Mark quietly took Cecilia's hand, holding it tightly.

Angela's Library They observed Edwin slipping the bracelet on Laura's wrist. The bracelet was a sentimental piece from Zoey, who would have been so pleased knowing Edwin had found someone special.

Mark suggested bringing out some Liquor.

Cecilia expressed her concern, but Mark reassured her, “I'll drink too much.” The Garcia family, tense throughout, relaxed only when the drinks arrived and Peter and Mark clinked glasses.

As the adults enjoyed their drinks, the younger ones grew restless.

Olivia soon pulled Laura outside to watch the firework show, urging the housekeeper to bring out more.

Outside, amidst the fireworks, Laura felt someone embrace her from behind.

She turned to find Edwin, slightly flushed from the alcohol, looking particularly handsome.

Laura asked softly, “Why didn’t you put on a coat?” Edwin simply smiled.

“I'm not cold.” He lit a cigarette, and then moved to light more fireworks, sparks flying close to them.

Laura, naturally timid, stepped back.

Edwin embraced her, allowing her face to peek out and watch the fireworks.

Olivia, lively as ever, ran around them with a sparkler.

Edwin soon had her join them, holding both girls in his arms.

Chapter 2283 Olivia, without any hint of jealousy, asked Laura for a gift.

Laura, unprepared, was offered help by Edwin, who suggested she checked his pocket. As Laura reached in, Edwin looked down at her with a smile, brushing her hair back and giving her a light kiss.

Laura's cheeks flushed pink.

Olivia, always playful, soon ran off.
