Chapter: 1755
Cecilia nodded and began eating.
Mark gently touched her head and said, “After this, we'll go see some jewelry. I couldn't make the time to accompany you before. Now that we're here, I want to buy you some refined jewelry."
Cecilia hadn't put on the engagement ring. She probably wanted to save it for the wedding. Mark couldn't help but be amused. Did she think he was lack of wealth and thus saved money for him?
Although Cecilia had plenty of jewelry, women often desired their loved ones to gift them with such treasures.
Cecilia lowered her head and began peeling a shrimp without saying anything. Mark, guessing her thoughts, peeled the shrimp for her and placed it in a small bowl.
Those around them looked at Cecilia with jealousy.
Mark then filled another bowl of soup for her.
"This is good for you.
Drink up."
Cecilia drank contentedly.
However, as she recalled something, she couldn't help but complain,
“You must have dined out with Miss Holt quite often. Otherwise, you wouldn't have known about these things so well."
Mark's eyes took on a deep, contemplative look.
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.
After dinner, they went shopping, and Cecilia clung to him the entire time.
Mark had never seen such a clingy woman, but he liked it.
