Peter returned during the conversation and overheard Zoeyâs remarks.
After ending the call, Mark inquired, âHas she been safely sent back?â
Peter nodded in understanding.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he suggested, âIf you truly have feelings for her, why not consider it? There isnât a significant age difference between you two, and sheâs both attractive and innocent.

Markâs mind drifted away, replaying the memory of their ki*s in the clubâs bathroom, evoking a sense of pleasure.
After a while, he snapped back to reality, a bitter smile forming on his lips.

Unbeknownst to them, Ceciliaâs heart raced with anticipation.
Did Mark have something to do with this?

Suddenly, Cecilia felt a strong urge to see Mark.
Skipping breakfast, she drove to the hotel where Mark was staying.
She hadnât yet decided what to say when they met but she simply longed to be in his presence.
Arriving at the top floor of the hotel, she rang the doorbell.
However, there was no response for quite some time.
Coincidentally, the hotel manager passed by, recognizing Cecilia as Markâs guest.
He informed her, âMr.
Evans has checked out.
