Chapter 2341 Noticing her demeanor, Waylen grew irritated.

Pointing at her, he said, “You're making headlines again! That toy boy you're with, are you sure he isn't up to something?” Alexis had been frequently captured on camera with Calvin.

Waylen wasn't a stranger to the ways of the world; he understood that Calvin craved recognition.

Alexis reached for the newspaper and let out a chuckle.

“Isn't it typical for a celebrity to aspire to marry into a wealthy family? Calvin and I have simply swapped the traditional gender roles. Hey, he's quite the sweet one. How about I tie the knot with him and bring him home to provide company for you and Mom? He's got a fantastic singing voice. Hed certainly liven up the household!” Waylen sneered.

“Can he bear children?” Alexis grinned mischievously.

“Well, I can’t marry a woman either, can I? I'm not really a lesbian.” “You'll surely be the death of me, you little devil!” Waylen's anger was simmering beneath the surface.

At that very moment, Leonel descended from upstairs, clad in casual home attire.

He was radiating sharpness and energy.

Oblivious to everyone else, Alexis narrowed her eyes appreciatively for a moment; then, she spotted him standing halfway down the staircase, earnestly posing a question.

“Are you interested in having a child? I could stay home and take care of it.” Alexis understood his meaning.

With a smug grin, she retorted, “I wouldn't dream of having Mr. Douglas as a babysitter.” Leonel’s gaze bore into her.

“Looking after my own child, how does that equate to babysitting?” Alexis found the conversation somewhat annoying.

She replied lazily, “If you desire a child, find one of your flings to bear it for you. My time is valuable.

“Not having children and just marrying for the sake of sex is also an option!”

Chapter 2342 Leonel declared boldly but with a determined expression.

Waylen stood there, taken aback.

Leonel had, without a doubt, exceeded his mentor’s boldness. Back in his youth, Waylen had never uttered such words in the presence of Rena's parents. He pondered if he had been too permissive in raising those two.

Before he could impart any wisdom, his daughter exhibited no hint of embarrassment either.

“Look for someone else when you're in the mood. Don't even think about bothering me!” Alexis declared.

Waylen rose to his feet, clearing his throat.

“Let's have our meal!” It was only then that Leonel reined in his audacity.

Rena descended the stairs at the moment, and he offered his assistance, earning a gentle smile from her.

“Leonel, have you found someone?” Rena asked softly.

Leonel glanced at Alexis.

She just sat gracefully at the dining table, eating her meal with such tranquility that it begged the question of how much effort it took to horn such composure.

Just the mere thought of it riled him.

In truth, Leonel was envious, but he didn't dare to inquire. He didn’t dare to probe into her relationships over the past eight years, how many men she had been involved with, or even contemplate what place he still occupied in her Life.

Angela's Library Their relationship had never truly begun.

Meanwhile, Alexis had indeed experienced romantic relationships with others, as with Calvin.

He wondered if she genuinely didn’t care anymore.

After a lengthy pause, Leonel finally responded, “Not right now.” Rena nodded, her gaze shifting to Waylen with concern.

“You have many acquaintances. Surely, one of your business partners could be a suitable match for Leonel, right?” She had a straightforward notion that Leonel had come to live with them since he was little, so he was family and naturally she cared for him.

But he was also still a Douglas. She was determined not to let his family lineage end with him.

Waylen observed the two young ones, and then served some food to his wife's plate, gently remarking, “Our children will forge their own destinies. It's sufficient that we lead comfortable lives ourselves.

Delving too deeply into it and our kindness may not be well-received.

Chapter 2343 If he becomes unhappy and ventures abroad once more, or if he happens upon some random woman and has a child with her, where will you turn to for solace then?” Rena continued to cast anxious glances at Leonel.

At that moment, Alexis chimed in, “Dad, aren't you a bit old-fashioned? What's wrong with having a mixed-race child? Good looks are always the valuable currency these days." Waylen shifted his gaze to Leonel as well.

Leonel didn't laugh; instead, he spoke with deliberate slowness.

“I have a preference for pure-breed.” He was insinuating something, but Alexis simply brushed it aside.

She had long ceased to care about Leonel’s taste in women.

Following the meal, Alexis retreated to the cozy Lounge to indulge in some piano practice. Ever since she had taken up her job, there had been scant time for such pursuits, nor had she been in the right frame of mind for them. However, that afternoon offered a rare respite, and the sunshine streaming through was also inviting.

She wore a delicate Issey Miyake dress.

It featured a black knitted top and a billowy white chiffon skirt below.

Her lengthy brown tresses cascaded down her back.
