he gentle sunlight filtering through the blinds illuminated his serene demeanor.
Setting the lunchbox on a tea table, Peter unveiled the meal, commenting with a warm smile, âYour mother painstakingly prepared these four dishes and a soup since dawn.
Her love for you is evident.
â
Mark, without lifting his gaze from the documents, replied, âIt would be best if the servant handled the cooking.
She doesnât have to do this herself.
â
A smile graced Peterâs face once more.
Subsequently, Mark inquired about the status of the branch company in Czanch and a project there that was facing some challenges.
Peter quickly updated, âThe person overseeing locally has proven quite challenging.
Nevertheless, Iâve managed to facilitate some solutions.
â
Mark nodded in approval, concluding his reading by signing the document.
He joined for lunch, savoring each dish Zoey prepared.
Every dish was light, catering to his dietary needs, yet delicious in every bite.
As Mark indulged in the food, a wave of nostalgia and softness enveloped him.
He contemplated moving back to Czanch once the Duefron company was stable, envisioning reuniting with Cecilia and their children.
Meanwhile, Peter consumed his meal, thoughts drifting towards the visitor earlier.
He remarked, âMiss Shaw was here.
It seemed she wanted to apologize to you, but I turned her away.
â
Mark almost forgot about her.
The mere mention of Elaine momentarily clouded Markâs demeanor.
Mark confessed, âI prefer Elaine stays away.
Cecilia believes there are numerous women Like Elaine and argues itâs futile to address each one.

Peter quipped with a grin, âCecilia seems quite gracious nowadays.
Mark shot a pointed look at Peter, commenting, âGracious? Itâs evident my allure isnât what it once was.
In the past, her jealousy would flare at the slightest provocation.
Now, she even interacts with Elaine in the same film set.
â
Amused Peter added, âAnd donât forget, Cecilia and Flora remain close.
â
Markâs expression turned sour.
Placing his spoon down firmly, he uttered, âPeter, thatâs a topic Iâd rather not discuss.
â
Mark whispered more to himself than anyone, âI havenât interacted with Flora in ages.
â
Seeing Markâs evident discomfort, Peter tried to Lighten the mood by serving Mark more food, jesting, âIâm aware of that.
Youâve become quite reserved lately.
â
Mark begrudgingly accepted Peterâs offeringâ¦
The subsequent day, as lunchtime approached, Mark and Peter sat together.
