After a moment, he whispered, “It’s rare for us to have dinner alone.
Don’t be mischievous, okay?”
He coaxed her gently, and it worked.
Cecilia was obedient to him, nodding and refraining from arguing.
Mark felt a warmth within him as he saw her lower her head, appearing so obedient and easy to coax. He believed they would enjoy such a wonderful life together for decades.

Mark had never seen such a clingy woman, but he liked it.
He took her to a jewelry store where the manager had been eagerly awaiting them, having already prepared some exquisite, non-displayed pieces.
“Mr. Evans, these are some of our brand’s heirlooms, typically not on public display,” the manager explained, glancing at Cecilia and wondering what kind of lucky woman had captured Mark’s heart.
The manager was slightly stunned when he saw the way Cecilia showed.
With his keen eye, he could tell she hailed from a wealthy family.
Cecilia remained composed as she examined the five sets of jewelry, which included rubies, sapphires, diamonds, and emeralds.
Each set was valued at a minimum of $50 million.
After deliberation, Cecilia chose a set of diamonds.
Mark asked in a low voice, “Are you saving money for me? I know Rena gave you a set of ruby pieces. Get a set of emerald pieces as well.
You’re too young to wear jade yet.”

Mark and Cecilia continued their shopping spree.
Since Christmas Day was around the corner, Cecilia wanted to purchase some new clothes for Zoey and Edwin. Mark approached her and asked,
“No clothes for me? I’d like to buy a couple more shirts, and it’s time to replace my belt.”
Cecilia blushed and replied, “I’ll pick them out for you later.”
When they arrived at a men’s clothing store, instead of selecting clothes, Mark sat on the sofa, reading paintings and drinking tea as if selecting clothes for him was irrelevant to him.
This was their first time shopping together, yet Cecilia felt he excelled at giving her orders.
