“Just thinking about walking with Miss Fowler is enough to put me in a good mood.”
After saying that, Peter picked up his briefcase and headed out with Cecilia walking behind him.
Cathy, on the other hand, felt helpless. There was no reason for her to stay here any longer.
As she laid her eyes on Mark, an unspeakable sadness took over her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile Mark had dated a lot of girls, Cathy was among them.
Although Mark never officially announced she was his girlfriend, Cathy was still willing to stay by his side, with the thought that he would come to love her one day. After all, she could be a good wife and take care of everything if he decided to settle down and start a family.
Cathy never expected that Mark would fall in love with a naive girl like Cecilia and that he would love the latter so much to the point of letting go of something truly important to him just for her.
As this thought crossed her mind, the corner of Cathy’s mouth twitched.
“I heard that you’re about to quit to do business?”
Mark ignored her at first and handed over his belongings to the butler.
After dismissing the butler, he looked at Zoey, who was seated on the sofa, and took out a cigarette. “How did you know about that?” he asked after taking a long drag.
Cathy looked away and hid her face from Mark.

“I have my sources. Someone saw your resignation letter.”

This news blindsided Cathy, leaving her feeling angry. How could Mark love Cecilia so much that he was willing to postpone his career just so he could make time to be with her and marry her?
“Mark! Your current role is perfect for you. Don’t you think it’s too late for you to do business for the sake of a naive girl? Do you think you can compete with the Fowler family when it comes to business? And do you think that woman still wants to stay by your side if you’re no longer that man of high position?”
Mark blew a cloud of smoke upwards and said beneath his breath, “It’s none of your business. Cathy, move on. Although Cecilia is young, it doesn’t mean she isn’t sensible. She chooses to stay by my side more firmly than anyone else could do.”
And Mark had decided to spend the rest of his life with Cecilia.
Cathy wanted to say some more, but at this moment, Cecilia had already returned.
Mark took Cecilia’s hand and examined the wound at the corner of her mouth.
Then, he said to Zoey, “Mom, please attend to Cathy. I’ll take Cecilia to change her clothes.”
Zoey nodded in response.
