His affection for her knew no bounds. Even when separated, he vowed to do all within his Power to care for her.
Cecilia blushed, pulling the quilt up to nestle against her pillow, gazing affectionately at him.
Once he was dressed, Mark bent down to kiss her once more, his smile radiating warmth.
After he departed, sleep eluded her.
Instead, she sought out Rena and engaged in a pleasant chat with Zoey, an understanding elder who cherished Cecilia deeply due to the scarcity of girls in the younger generation of the Evans family.
When night fell and Mark returned from work, he found Cecilia with his mother, tending to the beans.
Zoey playfully claimed, “These are my own pesticide-free plants.”
Mark playfully teased back, “My mother takes great pride in her organic green food. It’s a rare treat for others to partake.”
Zoey snorted.
She said to Cecilia, “Don’t listen to his nonsense! As long as he is being a good son and brings that girl home, I will dig out all the vegetables in this garden to treat her.”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Cecilia was confused.

Zoey took charge of cooking for all of them, and Cecilia offered to help. Although Mark rarely took on the role of chef himself, he also remained in the kitchen.
After their dinner, they were supposed to retire to their respective bedrooms.
However, Mark gallantly led Cecilia into his lavishly appointed bedroom.
Mark’s bedroom boasted a generous size and was adorned with elegant and refined furniture and decorations. An adjacent study added a touch of antiquity to the room, and the window seat provided a cozy spot for savoring tea.
Cecilia found herself stunned by the sight.
