Chapter 0220

Tears welled up in Valerie’s eyes, Marcus, seeing her reaction, stood up and went to her.

“Why are you crying?” Marcus asked gently, his voice tinged with concern.

“It’s just… this piece belonged to my father. When I ran away, I never saw it again. It was such a treasured family heirloom, passed down through generations. But I never got that chance.”

“Well, now it’s yours. I’m sure Peter would’ve wanted you to have it.”

Valerie took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, gazing at the man in front of her. She embraced him, and Marcus wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her slightly and sitting her on the edge of the desk.

“I want you to know that my decision about us is unchangeable. I want to be with you. I want to know you better, to find my way into your heart. And there’s nothing no one–that will change my mind,” Marcus said, leaning in for a kiss.

Valerie surrendered to his kiss, feeling an array of emotions that made her heart race. Her day had been a rollercoaster of feelings and sensations. That morning, she thought she’d have to say goodbye to whatever she was beginning to feel for Marcus. But now, she found herself resting in his strong arms, where she felt safe and cherished.
