He sensed it might also be related to Cecilia.
Trying to lift the atmosphere, Peter smiled and assured, âRest assured, Iâll conduct a thorough investigation.
Iâll find whatever there is to find.

Gradually, Markâs temper subsided.
Unbuttoning his shirt, a moment of recollection crossed his mind, and he mentioned casually, âArrange for a driver to take her home.

Peter now understood there must be a conflict between Mark and Cecilia.
He sensed something was amiss and decided to be more considerate towards Cecilia.

She wasnât the type to incessantly pester a man.
Besides, even she herself wasnât sure about her feelings for Mark; it was just difficult to explain clearly.

Once sheâs done, sheâll come to Czanch to see you.

Zoey brought up the topic of Markâs marriage once more.
With an awkward smile, Mark replied, âMom, marriage is a matter of fate.
Do you want me to marry just anyone and bicker with you every day?â
Zoey snorted, âDonât try to fool me.
I know you too well.
