A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2301 He stroked her head, offering, “If you miss me, come stay with me at my place. I'd love to see you every day.” Laura ate in silence, her voice barely audible.

“Seeing each other every two or three days is nice too!” Edwin found her modesty charming.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY He understood the value of space in a new relationship. They would be marrying soon and then, they would be together daily.

After dinner, Edwin busied himself with phone calls.

Some were personal greetings, others business-related.

Later, he received a call from Waylen.

“Uncle Waylen, yes, I'm with Laura! I'll be at work tomorrow!” He then acknowledged, “I'll bring her over for dinner.” After ending the call, Laura, who was watching a movie on the sofa, inquired slowly, “Must we visit tomorrow?” Edwin confirmed with a nod.

“Yes, Uncle Waylen invited us to dinner.” Laura's response was a simple acknowledgment.

Edwin playfully pinched her nose.

“You like Alexis, right? She'll be there too, Make sure to dress up nicely.” Laura hummed in response.

Edwin always felt a rush of warmth when she acted like this.

He leaned in, whispering in her ear, “Are you hurting down there?” Laura's cheeks turned red. She bit her lip, denying any discomfort.

“It doesn't hurt.” Edwin responded with a kiss...

Laura was reluctant to continue their intimacy in the living room, but Edwin was persistent, eventually convincing her. She ended up in his lap, sobbing softly.

His desire only intensified with her vulnerable side in full display.

Chapter 2302 Finally, at two in the morning, he released her. Laura, turning away, silently cursed his insensitivity.

Edwin, holding her shoulders tenderly, tried to console her.

“It's been so long, and I just couldn't stop. I wouldn't be much of a man then, would 1?" Laura remained silent, unable to contest Edwin's actions.

Content, Edwin held her close, coaxing her into sleep in his embrace.

Watching her curled up against him, he felt a deep fondness. She was small, delicate yet resilient in his arms.

The following day, Edwin woke early to prepare breakfast and lunch for Laura.

He ate his own breakfast quickly before heading to the office, greeted by his secretary, Tina.

“Mr. Evans!” she exclaimed, his mood lifting further.

Settling at his desk, Edwin announced, “Notify everyone, each employee coming in today gets an extra bonus.” Tina, sensing his good spirits, remarked, “Everyone will be thrilled! You're so kind, Mr. Evans!” Edwin, smiling warmly, instructed her, “Find a good wedding planner and a wedding dress designer. Coordinate with Laura on this” Tina agreed to handle it.

After she left, Edwin focused on his work until a call from Vanessa interrupted him.

Her weary voice asked, “Edwin, are you marrying her?” Displeased, Edwin responded with a warning, “Vanessa, let this go.” Despite her pleas and mention of her long-held feelings, Edwin remained firm, advising her to pursue her own path.

Edwin's voice held a note of warning as he spoke to Vanessa.

“If I were in your shoes, I'd let this go." Vanessa, agitated, countered, “But what about my feelings? I've had feelings for you for years, Edwin. Do they mean nothing?” As Edwin leaned back in his chair, rubbing his forehead, he replied, “Vanessa, that's something you have to deal with. If you had told me about your feelings earlier, I wouldn't have entered into a business relationship with you. We both have our own responsibilities; it's better to choose a path that benefits oneself.” He was puzzled by Vanessa's logic.

She was a strong woman; it was perplexing to see her lose her composure over emotions.

Chapter 2303 To Edwin, Vanessa was someone he not only lacked romantic interest in but also barely respected. He maintained contact with her solely out of respect for the friendship between the two families.

After a moment of silence, Vanessa ended the call.

Edwin set his phone aside and summoned his second secretary. He instructed her to block any future calls from Vanessa. Unaware of the latest developments, the second secretary relayed this directive to Tina.

Curious, she asked, “Wasn't Miss Smith supposed to be engaged to Mr. Evans?” Tina, pulling her aside, whispered confidentially, “That's outdated news. Mr. Evans is with Miss Thomas now. Yes, Miss Laura Thomas, the designer who's been his childhood friend. They're considering marriage, and Vanessa is no longer in the picture. Just be careful not to say the wrong thing and upset Mr. Evans.” The second secretary nodded, understanding the sensitivity of the situation. Despite her penchant for gossip, she discreetly spread the word by the afternoon.

The news quickly circulated throughout the entire company.

Later, Edwin left to pick up Laura at six.

Laura had been busy selecting gifts for her visit to the Fowlers.

She chose a scarf for Rena and a coral pen holder for Waylen, both of exceptional quality.

Yet, Edwin's attention was entirely on Laura.

She was dressed in a dark red woolen dress adorned with small cherry decorations, looking both petite and charming.

He assisted her with her coat and gently kissed her, complimenting, “You look beautiful!” As Laura took his hand and entered the car, the reality of being openly with him, even visiting his relatives together, felt surreal.

Edwin carefully fastened her seatbelt and noticed Laura looking at him thoughtfully.

He smiled softly, asking, “What are you thinking about?” In a soft voice, Laura shared, “Before, it was just my adoptive parents. Now, with you, it feels like I have so many more family members.” Edwin's expression turned somber.

He remembered Laura's challenging childhood and how he had mistreated her both then and later.
