A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2421 There, sprawled across her bed, was a man.

His upper body bared, his handsome visage undeniably captivating.

Alexis regarded him with an icy demeanor.

“I didn't bring you here to warm my bed. Even if I were seeking someone to share it with, it certainly wouldn't be a cripple.” Undeterred, Leonel clung to his pursuit.

Lazily reclining against the bed’s headboard, he retorted, “Why not give it a shot? My hand may be injured, but my other aspects are in perfect working order.” He leaned in closer, his voice taking on a seductive tone.

“Alexis, I remember how you used to enjoy teasing me when we were kids. Don't you want to give it a shot now? You might find it rather addictive.” Alexis scoffed, “I never expected you had a penchant for masochism.” Upon realizing she might not be able to drive him away, she decided to turn off the light and return to sleep. Her voice emanated from the darkness.

“If you even think of laying a hand on me, I'll ensure you won't be able to touch a woman again for the rest of your life.” Unfazed, he drew nearer.

Despite Alexis's tall stature, Leonel, at 6.1 feet, easily towered over her, his broad shoulders making her seem petite when he cradled her in his arms. She endured in silence, discovering that the warmth of another body in her bed was oddly comforting.

Turning away, she uttered something biting.

Leonel leaned in, resting his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, “If you desire it, I can oblige at any moment.” Alexis couldn't help but sneer.

She wielded a sharp tongue, yet her body betrayed her true intentions.

In the depths of slumber, she turned and nestled into his embrace.

Just like the days of their childhood, she clung to his waist.

Leonel remained uncertain if he had really heard Alexis call his name.

Her voice had been a faint murmur, the words escaping his comprehensin, He strained to ten, but her voice fell stent. Koos The night stretched on.

Yet, his wakefulness was not driven solely by desire.

But it was mainly because he had once again held her in his arms.

Chapter 2422 Even if it meant resorting to unsavory tactics, he had, at last, embraced her once more. In the shrouded darkness, Leonel flexed his injured hand.

To his relief, it remained intact and agile.

By morning, when Alexis awoke, Leonel had vanished.

She rubbed her eyes and sat upright.

Inside the apartment, a profound silence prevailed.

Had her rude attitude led to his abrupt departure? Alexis felt like she was in paradise.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Yet, her bliss was short-lived. The door outside swung open, accompanied by hushed conversation. The voice sounded distinctly female, resembling Leonel’s secretary.

Without hesitation, Alexis dashed out barefoot.

In the living room, she was confronted with four hefty suitcases, each appearing to weigh a solid hundred pounds.

Strewed amidst them were various documents and office paraphernalia.

Upon seeing Alexis, Leonel’s secretary offered a polite nod, her smile tinged with embarrassment.

With her arms crossed defensively, Alexis awaited an explanation.

She cast a sidelong glance at Leonel, her curiosity piqued.

“Are you planning to stay here temporarily, or is this a long-term arrangement? Leonel, are you planning to spend your lifetime with me?” Leonel assessed his belongings.

Instructing his secretary to leave first, he closed the door behind her and explained, “I'm someone who values the quality of life. Even if it's a short stay, I want it to be comfortable.” Alexis pointed at the scattered items.

“So you just moved your stuff out of my parents’ house?” A smile tugged at Leonel’ Lips.

“I have another apartment where most of my things here were previously stored.” Alexis fixed him with a stern glare.

He was toying with her, possessing an alternative residence yet insisting on occupying her apartment. As she was about to issue an ultimatum for him to remove his clutter, Leonel interjected, “I've prepared breakfast. Omelets and juice.”

Chapter 2423 Omelets and juice, huh? Alexis’ gaze immediately gravitated towards the table.

Indeed, omelets and juice were prepared in a tempting array. She felt her appetite stir just by the sight of them.

Nonchalantly scratching her head, Alexis remarked, “Well, you better dig in before you go.” Leonel’s smile was tender. He approached and gently ran his fingers through her long hair.

His voice was soft as he murmured, “I happen to be quite the culinary artist. Wouldn't you like to taste them?” Alexis hesitated.

She scrutinized him for a long moment before finally asserting, “Don't think a few meals will grant you access to my bed. I'm not that easy.” Leonel whispered, “Truth be told, I'd prefer you to do things to me than the other way around.” Alexis rolled her eyes and snapped, “Well, keep dreaming!” She retreated to her room, cleansing herself and donning a tasteful, professional ensemble.
