Why was Mark indulging Cecilia’s every whim? She couldn’t understand it!
Cecilia was pretty, but she wasn’t suitable to be Mark’s wife. After all, Mark was the backbone of the entire Evans family! That required a capable wife to assist him in every aspect.
In what world would a woman like Cecilia deserve a man like Mark?
Meanwhile, Peter produced a gift from his business bag.

“I gave something to Edwin last time. This one is for you,” he said.
At first, Cecilia was embarrassed to accept Peter’s present. After all, she didn’t prepare anything for him.
“It’s alright. Take it,” Mark reassured her, patting her on the head.
“He wishes us all a very Merry Christmas.”
Hearing this, Peter smiled. “You’re such a mind-reader.”
Although Cecilia was still hesitant, she had no choice but to accept the gift.
Since she didn’t have any pockets on her clothes, she had to put the gift directly into Mark’s pocket. As she did, Mark watched her quietly from the corner of his eye. After a while, he called the butler and ordered him to do something.
Being the hostess, Cecilia should be the one arranging everything for Christmas. But she seemed clueless about these.
Not wanting to depress her with these tasks, Mark decided to take care of them by himself.

He turned around and said to Cecilia, “Honey, why don’t you walk Peter out?
And walk Miss Wilson out as well.”
Hearing this, Cathy’s expression darkened.
With just a few words, Mark had clearly defined the respective standings of Cathy and Cecilia in his heart.
“Thanks, but no need for that,” Cathy said, her lips contorted into an uncomfortable smile.
Cecilia took Mark’s arm and fetched his coat from the sofa.
After putting it on, she said, “Mr. Garcia, let me walk you out.”
“Ah, it’s such a beautiful day,” Peter replied with a smile.
