Chapter 2201 Laura poured him a cup of coffee, her tone carrying a hint of apology as she mentioned that it was the only thing she could offer, given her lack of culinary skills. Mark accepted the coffee and responded with a touch of meaning.
“Cecilia isn't much of a cook either.” Laura gazed at him, her eyes still slightly red.
Mark chose not to dwell on the topic further. Instead, he opened the box of pastries he brought and encouraged her to eat them.
It was her favorite food.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLaura's Lips quivered.
Though Mark didn't explicitly mention it, Laura sensed that he had discovered her past connection with Edwin. As she nibbled on a piece of the pastry, she spoke in a soft tone.
“Uncle Mark, there's no longer any relationship between us. | won't ruin anything. | won't meet with him again. You can rest assured of that.” Angela's Library A profound sense of sorrow settled in Mark's heart.
Mark couldn't help but feel that he had failed in his promise to protect and care for her.
He couldn't deny that Laura had grown and flourished under Peter's guardianship.
She had not only thrived but had also developed remarkable talents.
Despite her success and talent, the presence of Edwin had clearly caused Laura significant distress.
Even in this moment, she was going out of her way to assure Mark that she wouldn't be a source of trouble or complications.
Mark didn't reply.
Instead, he offered her a cookie and spoke gently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It's not about that, Laura. Uncle Mark simply wanted to visit you.” Laura accepted the cookie and took a bite.
Then, she began to cry, her emotions finally spilling over.
No one could understand her feelings, no one.
The beginning of her relationship with Edwin had been wrong, and its conclusion had been nothing short of absurd. Even if they had shared an understanding of their feelings, circumstances had never allowed it to progress any further.
Laura silently wept, and Mark remained by her side quietly.
The paternal affection she had yearned for in her childhood, Mark could only provide in a limited capacity now, and he did so with all the sincerity he could muster.
Laura didn't cry for long.
