Chapter: 1329
With a lowered head, she departed with Peter.

Mark gently placed the bathrobe down and sank into the sofa.

During their encounter, he couldn't take his eyes off Cecilia.

He thought he always preferred a woman who exhibited sensibility, even if she was a tad artificial, as long as she wasn't intrusive and could respond to others’ cues.

Cecilia was definitely not his type, but... Perhaps it was because he hadn't been with a woman for a long time...

Just as he was wallowing in a perturbed mood, his phone rang, with his mother on the line from Czanch.

Zoey was worried.

Mark had found Rena, so why hadn't he brought her home yet?

After offering reassurance to Zoey, Mark smiled and said, "Rena is on a business trip in Heron. Once she's done, she'll come to Czanch to see you."

Zoey brought up the topic of Mark's marriage once more.

With an awkward smile, Mark replied, "Mom, marriage is a matter of fate. Do you want me to marry just anyone and bicker with you every day?"

Zoey snorted, "Don't try to fool me. | know you too well."

Peter returned during the conversation and overheard Zoey's remarks.

After ending the call, Mark inquired, "Has she been safely sent back?"

Peter nodded in understanding. After a brief moment of contemplation, he suggested, "If you truly have feelings for her, why not consider it? There isn't a significant age difference between you two, and she's both attractive and innocent.”

Mark's mind drifted away, replaying the memory of their kiss in the club's bathroom, evoking a sense of pleasure.

After a while, he snapped back to reality, a bitter smile forming on his lips.

"We're not compatible. Her brother is with my niece. No, and she's too pure. | don't think she should get involved with me."

With those words, Mark took the bathrobe and headed for a shower.

The following day, Cecilia descended the stairs at a leisurely pace.

Voices of conversation drifted from the living room, revealing Korbyn and Waylen engrossed in a discussion.

Korbyn, sipping his tea, said with cunning insight, "| heard the tax bureau is targeting Harold again. The whole investigation team paid him an early morning visit. It looks like he's in for some tough times.”
