Chapter: 1168
After all, she was a delicate soul.
At that very moment, the waiter entered, gracefully serving the array of dishes.
Despite being just two people, the table was adorned with an abundance of delicacies.
Unable to contain herself, Cecilia remarked, “We can’t possibly consume all this. It’s wasteful.”
With an enigmatic smile playing on his lips, Mark inquired, “Are you trying to save me money now?”
As he served her a helping of food, he quipped, “If you can somehow reduce my energy expenditure in bed, that would be quite considerate of you.”
Crimson flushed Cecilia’s cheeks even deeper. How audacious he could be!
Observing her reaction, Mark decided to stop teasing her.
He carefully scooped a bow! of chicken soup for her, tenderly remarking, “It’s highly nourishing and beneficial especially for women.”
Silently, Cecilia sipped the soup.
Yet, she felt a certain restraint, unsure of how he planned to orchestrate her future.
After the meal, Mark made sure his beloved was satiated.
Then, with contentment in his gaze, he produced something from his briefcase.
It was an amulet necklace.
Gently, Mark fastened the necklace around her neck, his eyes imbued with depth. “I got one for Rena as well. Promise me you’ll wear it throughout this month.”
Unable to resist, Cecilia delicately caressed the talisman.
Mark affectionately patted her head and whispered, “I wish for both you and Rena to stay safe.”
Cecilia murmured, “| want to give it to Lexi.”
The one who needed protection the most was her little niece Alexis.
Upon hearing this, Mark’s expression saddened. He was unsure if Alexis was fortunate or not, given that Waylen had descended into madness and no longer cared if he had to destroy mankind just to save Alexis.
From his wallet, Mark produced an additional card linked to his account and placed it in Cecilia’s hand.
Cecilia was taken aback.
