A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2291-2300

Chapter 2291 He set the sketchbook aside, embracing her again.

“Do you believe in destiny? I used to doubt it, but now, I feel it's fate.” He had tried to escape these feelings, but ultimately, he couldn't.

So he decided to follow his heart and love her forever.

Edwin was grateful to have found his other half at a younger age, unlike his father. They were close in age, allowing them to walk together through life's journey.

He cherished this feeling.

Softly, he asked Laura if she loved him too.

Laura was taken aback.

She hadn't expected Edwin to express such feelings. In their past relationship, such words were never exchanged.

Holding her close, Edwin said, almost in a whisper, “The past is just that, the past. Back then, we were just seeing each other, but now, I want to spend my Life with you seriously. So, tell me. Do you love me, Laura?” He acknowledged his own demanding nature.

The level of emotion he put in, he expected in return.

Nothing less would suffice.

Laura, hesitant to express her feelings openly, toyed with his shirt button, whispering, “I'll tell you on our wedding night” Edwin responded with a deep, passionate kiss...

Yet, that night, he refrained from further physical intimacy.

Laura breathed a sigh of relief but also felt his behavior was unusual, almost like someone experiencing withdrawal.

Edwin playfully pinched her cheek.

“I'm planning a self-drive trip back to Duefron. We could enjoy a leisurely road trip on our way back” Laura's eyes lit up.

“Really? Is Olivia joining us?” Given that Olivia would soon be going to Duefron for college, Laura's question was natural.

Edwin chuckled softly near her ear.

“If Olivia's coming along, should we book two rooms or three?”

Chapter 2292 She rested on her side, her head nestled into a snow-white pillow.

Edwin's warmth enveloped her from behind.

She sensed his longing for her, yet she lacked the courage for such intimacy in his home. As the night deepened, his warmth intensified, becoming almost fiery to the touch.

Facing him, Laura lay down.

In a soft voice, she inquired, “Do you need to go to the bathroom and take care of that?" Angela's Library “Do you pity me?” Edwin teased. He drew her close, gently covering her eyes with his hand.

“Let's get some sleep. We need to rise early tomorrow.” Laura thought little of it and soon drifted off, her head resting on his shoulder.

Before dawn, Edwin stirred her awake.

“What's the matter?” Laura, rubbing her eyes, murmured sleepily, “It’s still so early.

Edwin rose to dress.

He had bathed the previous night and now, bare-chested, he began to don his trousers and shirt. His lean, muscular form caused Laura to avert her gaze.

Fully dressed, Edwin approached the bed, leaning over with hands braced on the mattress.

He affectionately pinched her nose.

“Today marks my Grandma's death anniversary. Our family tradition is to rise early for the rituals.

Dad will be cooking breakfast, and Olivia is likely already up.” Laura was unaware of this tradition.

She became anxious, clumsily getting ready. She softly asked Edwin, “Is my presence here a bother?” Edwin chuckled.

“After sharing my bed, you still wonder if you're a bother?” With cheeks flushed, Laura quickly dressed. Slipping into a sweater, her black hair curled within, her complexion glowed. Edwin watched, unable to resist, and leaned in for a kiss. He softly said, “I'll head out to help. Join us after freshening up.” Laura nodded in agreement.

With a gentle smile, Edwin left the room.

Chapter 2293 Once alone, Laura hastened to get ready. Despite her nerves and clumsiness, she felt a deep contentment. What mattered more than being with the one she loved? She stepped outside, prepared for the day.

Dawn was breaking, casting a gentle light over Evans Gardon, awakening it to life.

The kitchen buzzed with activity.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Mark was at the helm, preparing breakfast, with Olivia lending a hand, showcasing her affectionate side.

Edwin, ever helpful, joined in the preparations.

Laura greeted them.

Mark looked up, his expression warm.

“Good morning, Laura!” Feeling a bit shy, Laura hummed her greeting, offering to help.

Edwin, however, suggested, “Why not water the marigolds in the yard? The kitchen'’s all smoky, not a place for ladies.” Olivia retorted, “I've been here all morning, and you didn’t mention the smoke to me." Edwin responded, “You insisted on staying. I couldn't stop you! But remember, one day your husband will look out for you.” Olivia playfully complained, “You get a wife and forget your sister.” She pulled a face and led Laura outside.

As they watered the flowers, Olivia, feeling the chill, decided to use hot water, thinking it would keep the plants warm.

Mark noticed and was aghast.
