His mind drifted to the meeting earlier that day, where he had turned down an opportunity related to the development of a groundbreaking new metal, a project that could revolutionize aerospace technology and advance the countryâs military capabilities significantly.
Many people were desperate to take on the position.
If it was successful over four years, his future would be bright indeed.
Despite the tempting offer, he recommended a junior for the position, unswayed by the allure of wealth and power.
He felt no regrets, for his priorities had shiftedâhe now yearned for a life with Cecilia, a life of family and love.
Cecilia snuggled up close to Mark.
As the last wisp of smoke from Markâs extinguished cigarette dissipated, he cast a contemplative gaze at her.
âWill you grace us with your cooking next time?â
With a tender grace, she bent down, seeking refuge in his loving arms, and in a soft, hushed tone, she revealed her heartfelt desire to learn the culinary arts for his sake.
Witnessing her earnestness, a faint yet affectionate smile graced Markâs lips.
Though a hint of melancholy danced in the depths of his eyes, he welcomed the opportunity to engage in conversations about their shared dreams and aspirations, especially when it came to building a beautiful future as a family.
Having spent a considerable time in Markâs company, Cecilia couldnât help but feel a pang of shame over her lack of a job.
Seeking solace, she nuzzled her face against his sturdy abdomen, her delicate fingers gently toying with the buttons of his shirt.
In a soft, almost timid whisper, she revealed a recent development, âA few days ago, a magazine approached me to become their cover model.
â
With grace, Cecilia extended a few fingers, proudly stating, âItâs paid work.
â
Mark playfully lowered his head, pinching her cheek affectionately, and admiringly praised, âMy Cecilia is so capable.
Not everyone gets such an opportunity, right?â

However, Mark had his reservations.
Considering their impending marriage, he felt it wouldnât be appropriate for her to be in the public eye as a commercial model.
Hence, he praised her discreetly before inquiring about the job.
Nervously, the young girl hesitated, âHow about I decline the job?â
While money wasnât an issue for her, she simply yearned for Markâs kind words.
âThen will you take care of me?â she asked tenderly.
Mark lovingly ki*sed her forehead, assuring her, âYes, I will always take care of you.
â
And so, they lived as a couple in the lap of luxury within their beautiful apartment.
Mark visited almost every week and their time together was filled with moments of intimacy and affection.
He cooked for her and she lovingly massaged his back and legs.
At night, she found comfort in wearing his shirt and snuggling into his arms.
