Chapter 2431 Her smile emerged.

“Leonel injured his hand. I'm looking after him.

It's sibling affection. You should be pleased, Dad!" Waylen wasn't buying her excuses.

Just as he was gearing up to say something, Leonel approached, lifting a photo from the desk.

ANGELA'SLIBRARY It captured a moment from his past with Alexis.

In it were sixteen-year-old Leonel and Alexis, their smiling faces an unwelcome reminder of how challenging it would be to rekindle their connection.

The study was filled with a heavy silence.

Finally, Waylen spoke up.

“You two aren't kids anymore. If you want to be together, do it properly. Don’t mess up to the point that we can't even be family!” After his words, he seemed somewhat fatigued.

Alexis, the daughter he adored the most, and Leonel, equally emotionally invested, were causing each other pain. It didn't sit well with him.

A lingering silence hung in the air.

Alexis grinned and said, “Dad, you're overthinking! If you're concerned, why don't you take him home now?” Waylen shot her a stern glance before making a swift exit.

Alexis escorted him to the door, calling after him, “Drive carefully, Dad!" Unexpectedly, Waylen halted in his tracks and turned around.

Fixing his gaze on Alexis, he said in a hushed tone, “If you genuinely care for him, then give him a chance! Alexis, Dad doesn’t want to witness you tormenting yourself. Instead of claiming you can’t forgive Leonel, aren't you truly struggling to forgive your past self?” Alexis’s smile dimmed.

Without further words, Waylen departed. Their children had reached adulthood, and as parents, perhaps they shouldn't meddle too much in matters of the heart.

Alexis leaned against the door frame, observing Leonel still clutching that photo. His voice floated across.

“Alexis, you still love me, don’t you? You've always loved me! Tell me." “Perhaps!”

Chapter 2432 Alexis flashed a subtle smile.

“You were quite the charmer in the past.” As she turned to depart, Leonel embraced her from behind. His hand delicately explored her lower abdomen, tracing every contour with a tender touch as if kindling a flame of passion while also savoring the simple pleasure of contact.

His gestures exuded an undeniable intimacy.

Alexis couldn't remain unaffected.

ANGELA'SLIBRARY Suddenly, Leonel grew more insistent, pressing her against the study wall. Her professional suit posed a hindrance, but he paid no heed, discarding any semblance of gentleness. Nestling against her from behind, he whispered huskily and sensually, “It's not too late to turn me away now. Alexis, I want you." His words carried a beguiling allure, prompting her response.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't resist taking things further. Alexis swatted at him, exclaiming, “You jerk! Isn't your hand injured? How on earth can you still be so strong? Are you even human?” “I turn into a beast whenever I lay eyes on you!” Leonel’s voice, low and husky, sent shivers down Alexis’ spine, exuding an irresistible allure.

In the throes of their passion, they locked in a fiery embrace on the sofa, exchanging fervent kisses from every conceivable angle, eager to explore every inch of each other.

Alexis couldn't help but wonder if she was out of her mind.

She found herself openly entwined with Leonel, of all people.

Only Leonel had the power to evoke such feelings within her. Even amidst their conflicts and indifference, their bodies intertwining somehow rediscovered a connection, a long-lost essence.

This inexplicable force made them yearn to possess each other, a desire destined to last a lifetime.

After their intimate encounter, Alexis kicked Leonel and quipped, “Hey, your cast fell ofl” Leonel groaned with a hoarse voice, somewhat lazily.

Without bothering with the inconvenience, he simply lowered his head to kiss the woman in his arms.

“Up for another round?” Without hesitation, Alexis got up, throwing on his shirt as she headed towards the bedroom.

After a few steps, she halted and said, “Go get me some medicine!” Leonel, with some reluctance, commented, “If you happen to get pregnant, just go ahead and have the baby; it's not like we can't afford it!” Alexis directed her gaze toward him.

Chapter 2433 After a moment of silence, she offered a faint smile.

“Alternatively, why don’t you give pregnancy a shot?” Leonel reclined on the sofa, discarding his polished demeanor, and there was no trace of the businessman about himonly raw instincts and pure hormones.

“If you succeed in impregnating me, I suppose I wouldn't object!” Alexis scornfully remarked, “It appears your lifelong aspiration has been to transform into a male mother!” With that retort, she made her way to the bathroom.

Nearby, Leonel extracted a cigarette from his pant pocket, igniting it and leisurely drawing in the smoke.

Eventually, he rose, utterly unapologetic, and strolled into the luxurious master bathroom.

With a mere glance, Alexis found herself enveloped in his arms as he suggested, “Shall we shower together?” As they emerged from the bathroom, her entire body felt weak.

She marveled at Leonel’s seemingly inhuman stamina, feeling both embarrassed and angered at her own inability to keep up. In frustration, she kicked him directly and demanded, “Go buy me the morning-after pills!” This time, the man acquiesced, head bowed, and stole a kiss before departing.

Under the cloak of night, Leonel ventured out to the pharmacy, seizing the opportunity for a breath of fresh air and a couple of leisurely cigarettes during his excursion.

Upon his return, Alexis had succumbed to slumber.
