Mark responded with another ki*s, tenderly tracing the contours of her grown figure.
They had to have dinner, so Mark refrained from being overly hasty.
The days that followed were filled with tranquility.
The influence of the Evans and Fowler families was far-reaching and formidable.
Waylen stood as the top lawyer in law and politics, effortlessly prevailing in any legal battle.
The case proceeded without a hitch.
After the initial trial, the court ruled in favor of granting custody of Laura to Paulâs parents.
Paulâs parentsâ joy was uncontainable.
They travel north with Laura, arriving in Duefron to express their gratitude to Mark.
They decided not to give Mark advance notice of their visit.
Upon reaching Markâs villa gate, they informed the doorman that they had come to see Mark.
Meanwhile, Mark was engaged with Edwin.
A servant approached Mark with a look of ambivalence, reporting, âMr.
Evans, you have visitors at the gate.
Additionally, they were accompanied by an adorable young girl.
â
Mark guessed the identity of the guests, and he found himself in a difficult situation.
His gaze shifted to Cecilia.
Ceciliaâs eyes were a bit teary, but she remained composed.
âThey have arrived.
Go ahead and greet them.
â
Markâs hand rested on her shoulder, offering a comforting caress.
Cecilia, preferring to avoid the visitors, went upstairs.
Mark watched her depart before instructing the servant, âPlease, let them in.
â
Edwin raised his head proudly and inquired innocently, âIs that Laura?â
Mark was taken aback.
At that moment, Paulâs parents arrived, Laura in tow, bearing an array of unique goods from Czanch.
Among these, Paulâs mother had selected some items specifically for children.
Paulâs mother gazed at Edwin with warmth in her eyes.
âYou must be Edwin, right? Peter mentioned how adorable you are.
