A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2381-2390

Chapter 2381 A silence settled between them.

Both of them understood that marriage wasn't an immediate possibility.

The rumors and challenges Edwin faced were too burdensome for any hasty decisions.

Laura, empathizing with his plight, pressed gently against him.

“We're almost like a married couple already,” she whispered.

Edwin's response was a light laugh.

He leaned close to her ear.

“So, should I stay over tonight?” Laura knew it wasn't right to let things go too far in her parents’ house.

Just then, Lina’s voice called out, inviting Edwin for his late-night snack.

Edwin, still close to her ear, teased in a playful tone, “You know I'm too worn out for anything else tonight.” Laura blushed at his implication, biting her lip.

“I wasn't thinking of anything.” Edwin looked at her with a smile, knowing that despite her shy exterior, Laura was quite passionate in their more intimate moments.

He casually draped his coat on a coatrack in her room before leading her out to eat.

Lina had prepared sweet glutinous rice balls for him, some filled with sesame and others multicolored.

Edwin moved comfortably into the kitchen to find a smaller bowl, dishing out two for Laura.

“I know you don't want to gain weight, so just two for you,” he said, understanding her concerns.

Laura accepted his gesture with a soft murmur, her obedience clear.

Lina, watching this, laughed and turned to her husband.

“See how thoughtful Edwin is? Why can't you be more like that?” she playfully chided.

Peter was engrossed in the World Cup finals on TV when Lina's playful accusation prompted him to respond.

“If you were eighteen again, I'd be all over you,” he retorted with a light harrumph.

“But at our age, too much affection just gives the young ones something to laugh at”

Chapter 2382 Lina, not missing a beat, playfully twisted his ear.

“And who's to say you haven't been showering affection on some eighteen-year-olds during your outings with Mark all those years back? ‘You had your fun and kept it a secret, yet here I am, still the dutiful wife at home.” Peter quickly sought her forgiveness, his pleas light-hearted.

Even Laura, who had been feeling down, couldn't help but chuckle softly at their exchange. She glanced up at Edwin and caught him looking at her, his eyes shining with an indescribable warmth and allure.

After Peter and Lina had retired for the night, Edwin took a shower in Laura's room, settling into the house as if he were already part of the family. After shower, he found his energy renewed, and they shared a moment of intimate closeness once again.

Laura lay there for a while, lost in the aftermath of their intimacy.

Angela's Library Edwin, still close to her, kissed her nose gently.

“Did you enjoy that?” he asked softly.

She slowly came back to reality, a shy smile on her face.

The worries that had been momentarily forgotten during their passion returned. She wrapped her arms around his neck, murmuring her assent in a daze.

Edwin continued to kiss her tenderly, his touches gentle and loving.

They didn’t go further, just basked in the closeness and warmth of each other's embrace.

Finally, as they lay there exhausted, Edwin kissed her hair, his voice low and hoarse.

“Stay home these next few days, and don’t go out” He was protective, not wanting her to be hurt by the swirling rumors.

Laura was delicate and timid, and he couldn't bear the thought of her facing any harsh words.

Laura gently shook her head, nestling against Edwin's shoulder.

“Edwin, I can't just stay indoors forever. If I'm to be with you, it’s not right for me to comfortably hide behind you while you face the world on my behalf. That wouldn't be fair to our relationship.

I have my own job, my own life to live. Rumors and gossip — they can’t hurt me. I need to face them, just as I stand by you,” she murmured with resolve.

Edwin found it hard to accept, wanting to protect her, but he knew she was right. She couldn't live her life in hiding.

He reluctantly agreed, holding her close.

In a soft voice, he asked, “Laura, do you regret being with me?” She shook her head firmly.

Chapter 2383 Her feelings for Edwin were genuine, and she felt no regret. In fact, the public revelation of their relationship had actually brought her a sense of relief. Her main concern had always been Cecilia.

‘When the news went viral, Cecilia had called and assured her, “Laura, Edwin and his father will handle everything, so don't worry.” Laura seemed calm now.

But that very afternoon after she hung up the phone, when she was alone, Laura had cried silently for a long while.

She felt unworthy of this love, yet deeply attached to Edwin and his family.

The next morning, Edwin was up early.

He received a call from Alexis, her voice carrying a cold edge.

“The Smith family wants to negotiate. I've agreed. We'll meet at my law firm at 10 am.” Holding his phone in one hand, Edwin buckled his belt with the other.

His response was a cool and determined smile.
