Chapter 2295 Mark, considering his son's desire for privacy, raised no objections.
Post holidays, the house filled with festive goods and specialties.
The butler and servants loaded these into Edwin's car.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMark then beckoned Laura to his study.
Nervously, Laura followed. Inside, Mark smiled gently.
“You're not afraid of me now, are you?" He paused, then tenderly touched her head, just like in her childhood.
Laura obediently entered the study, closing the door behind her.
Inside, Mark poured tea, filling the room with its aroma.
Laura sat opposite him, visibly tense.
Mark observed his niece, remarking, “Peter and Lina have taken good care of you!" Laura responded with a quiet “hm” and after a moment, added, “Back then.. | understand.” Mark could only muster a wry smile. He lit a cigarette, holding it without smoking, his gaze distant, lost in thought. By the time he returned to the moment, the cigarette had burned halfway.
He softly said, “In the end, we still end up as family.” Looking at Laura, he remarked, “Edwin is quite fond of you. He's stubborn, just like me. He wouldn't have brought you here if he didn't truly care.” Laura listened in silence.

He explained gently, “These apartments are in Duefron and Czanch, both prime locations. There's also two hundred million in this account. Think of this as my welcoming gift for you. And this...” He opened the jewelry box to reveal a ruby set, its deep red hues rare and exquisite.
Mark spoke softly.
“Cecilia received this from Rena. She adores it and only wears it on important occasions, but when Edwin brought you home, she said it would suit a young girl like you better.” Laura sniffed quietly.
Sensing her turmoil, Mark stood and gently patted her back, his voice kind.
“Cecilia doesn't hate you or anything like that. She's just too shy to give this to you herself.”
