Chapter: 1240
Waylen admitted, “His turf’s in the southwest, and I really can’t do much to him. But since you control that area, I know that you’d be able to deal with him more efficiently than me.”
Peter chuckled. “Mr. Fowler, you came to the right person.”
Mark glanced at Peter and said to Waylen complacently, “Leave it to me.”
Waylen nodded and poured Mark another cup of tea.
After finishing his drink, Mark stood up and acted like an elder that he was. “I’ll deal with this matter, but I can’t help you deal with your relationship… Waylen, please spend more time and energy on Rena.”
Waylen sighed and escorted the two men downstairs.
In the living room, the servants were tidying up.
Juliette, Cecilia, and Edwin were already gone, which left Mark feeling disappointed. He rushed out of the house and caught them outside as they were about to get in the car. He couldn’t help but call out, “Cecilia!”
Juliette was already in the car, with Edwin sitting on her lap.
Cecilia was about to get in when Mark called her.
Mark stepped forward. Holding the car door open, he reached in to stroke Edwin’s head. “Be a good boy and listen to your mother, okay?”
Edwin nodded obediently.
He looked like his father, but he was soft-spoken and shy, just like his mother.
Mark said a few more words to Juliette while Cecilia stood quietly aside.
Then, Juliette turned her head and said to her daughter, “You should talk to him.”
The reason why Juliette was so open-minded was that she and Korbyn had also gone through some rough patches, so she could understand where her daughter was coming from. At the end of the day, Juliette simply stayed out of Mark and Cecilia’s affairs.
Having Juliette’s “blessing”, Mark dragged Cecilia to his car.
Mark had been driving for a while when Cecilia finally spoke up. “Mr. Evans, why are you still badgering me? Isn’t your career your priority? Work is everything to you. What’re you doing, kidnapping me again?”
Although Cecilia knew that Mark didn’t love Cathy, she couldn’t help but feel jealous.
Mark had even said that he appreciated Cathy’s independence, which was also the whole reason why Cecilia moved out of her parents’ home.
Hearing these sarcastic jabs, Mark smiled faintly. “Why, Cecilia, are you jealous?”
Cecilia didn’t want to say anything more. She leaned against the back of the chair and quietly watched the passing scenery.
