Chapter 13 Gave Her Something Expensive

She woke up early, embarking on the routine that defined her mornings. Breakfast was prepared with care, and the twins were readied for school in a swift, practiced manner. She rushed out of the house, hailed a taxi, and negotiated the fare before hopping in. As the taxi navigated through the city, she retrieved her phone from her bag, finding an unread message notification from Mark. "Good morning darling, hope you slept well. Sending you all my love and positive energy to set the day right. Have a wonderful day." A warm smile spread across her face as she read Mark's thoughtful message. It had been a while since she received such heartfelt words. In response, she expressed her gratitude, appreciating the unexpected sweetness in her day. Upon arriving at the office, she released a deep breath as she settled into her chair. Immersed in her work on the latest designs, a knock on the door interrupted her focus. "Come in, please," she invited. Mark entered, offering a warm greeting.
