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.
