Sipping her milk, Cecilia delicately remarked, âShouldnât you be watching your figure and staying healthy at your age? Like keep a diet or something.
Waylen would also drink coffee with these cakes at breakfast.
â
Mark lowered the newspaper, his gaze resting on her for a moment before he chuckled.
âOh? Youâre not satisfied with my figure?â
Cecilia sensed that he was teasing her and wisely refrained from provoking him further.
Instead, she sipped her milk quietly.
Mark was nearly done with his breakfast.
He said gently, âIf you want to sleep a little longer, go ahead.
Zoey will look after Edwin.
They might even be at the supermarket shopping for groceries at this hour.
Zoey will likely show Edwin around.
â
Cecilia voiced her unease, âI donât think itâs appropriate for her to take care of Edwin.
She needs more rest.
â
âWhy not?â Mark smiled.
âEasy.
Sheâs more than willing to take care of Edwin.
â
Recalling their intimacy from the previous night, he couldnât resist giving her a parting ki*s when he stood up.
Finally, he said, âIâll be back for lunch with you at noon.
â
Of course, Cecilia longed for Mark to accompany her, but she was well aware of his busy schedule.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and spoke softly.
âZoey will keep me company.
You can take a break in the office at noon and join us for dinner tonight.
â
âAlright,â Mark agreed, holding her slender waist.
Rare moments like these when they could be together tended to ignite his desires easily.
Mark brushed her face with his prominent nose and whispered, full of desires, âI wish I could have more days off to stay with you.
â
Ceciliaâs cheeks flushed and her heart raced.

Playing with the buttons of his shirt with one hand, she whispered,
âChristmas day is around the corner.
Wonât that be enough for you?â
Mark chuckled.
âYouâre right, we can make the most of the holiday to relax and have fun.
â
Despite their intimacy, he still had to attend to his work.
Outside, Peter had been waiting for him next to the car.
Peter used to be quite smooth-talking.
When he saw Mark come out, he couldnât help but tease, âYouâre positively glowing today.
â
Mark got into the car and adjusted his tie before asking, âReally?â
