A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2441 Alexis didn't respond and just bent down to change her shoes.

But as she departed, her gaze involuntarily returned to Leonel. He was engrossed in a phone conversation, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, dressed in casual attire but retaining his allure, much like her father.

Silently observing him, Alexis couldn't help but linger.

Abruptly, Leonel turned his head. The voice on the other end of the line persisted, but it became indistinct to him.

His gaze locked onto Alexis.

He contemplated questioning her about the intent behind that look, wondering if she still harbored feelings for him.

Alexis averted her eyes and took her leave.

The door closed, and Leonel continued to gaze for a prolonged moment.

Alexis leaned against the door panel.

She cast her eyes downward and lightly licked her lips, her heart in a state of restlessness.

That couldn't go on with Leonel any longer.

Attempting to divert her thoughts, she took Olivia and Laura shopping, but her mood remained elusive.

Affectionately, Olivia hugged her arm and even treated her to a massage when they arrived at a dessert shop.

Alexis gently pulled the little girl's hand.

Sighing softly, she murmured, “Looking at you young girls as beautiful as flowers, I feel like I'm already eighty!” Olivia blinked and shared, “Uncle Waylen seemed upset last night, pacing back and forth. Auntie Rena then told him to stop, and he just said, ‘How could Alexis do this? And that Leonel, he was rebelling! These two ended up sleeping together in such an ambiguous situation. Rena, aren't you going to do something about it?” Olivia vividly recounted the events.

The introverted Laura smiled with pursed Lips.

Alexis blushed, giving Olivia a playful glare.

“I seriously need to sew up that chatty mouth of yours.” “But you wouldn't do that to me!” Olivia teased, snuggling up, “Alexis, spill the beans! What's the deal with Leonel now? He must have some top-notch features, both hardware and software, to catch your attention!” Taking a sip of her juice, Alexis mumbled, “Well, he’s quite handsome.” With stars twinkling in her eyes, Olivia held her little face in admiration.

Chapter 2442 She silently rooted for them.

Yet, Alexis quickly added, “But it was just a temporary thing, so it doesn't really count! He's moving out in a few days.” Olivia couldn't accept this.

“That's not going to fly! You can't let the good stuff slip through your fingers and fall into the hands of outsiders. Take it back, capital and all, just like Edwin did to get Laura back! He's like a bone- hungry dog, chewing on every last bit!" Laura blushed a bit.

But she couldn't be upset with Olivia, whom she liked so much.

Alexis playfully patted Olivia's little hand.

“Haha! Uncle Mark and Aunt Cecilia have been quite generous to Laura. I reckon Edwin is just a bad investment!” Olivia mulled it over and found the logic in it too.

She rambled on, divulging every little detail about Alexis and Leonel’s escapade in bed. After the meal, Alexis made a quick retreat.

She aimlessly drove around.

She kept muttering under her breath. At her age, she couldn't believe she was getting grilled about her feelings by a little brat.

This is all Leonel's fault! She thought.

The meal didn't quite hit the spot. Alexis had always been a picky eater.

She sought out a place to satisfy her appetite.

The phone interrupted her thoughts. It was Leonel.

In his usual gentle tone, Leonel asked, “Where are you? Should I come pick you up?” Alexis, stubborn as ever, retorted, “I'm having a blast! Mr. Douglas, what's the deal? You don't have any friends, so you have to cling to me all the time like this? Honestly, I'm starting to feel sorry for you!” Leonel flashed a playful grin.

“Yep, you're all I have now!” FEST Sms A ET CT Koos Shortly afterward, Leonel sent her a snapshot of a table adorned with a spread of Thai cuisine.

It looked undeniably authentic at first glance.

Having such a dashing man at home, who had taken the time to prepare a feast of her favorite dishes, the mere thought of it stirred her heart.

Chapter 2443 Alexis tried to suppress the temptation repeatedly.

In the end, she made up her mind to visit Calvin.

It had been nearly a week since they last met. She aimed to maintain a simple relationship with Calvin. Once he fully recovered, he could resume shooting, find a girlfriend, and eventually embark on the path to marriage.

What Calvin desired from her, she had long ago bestowed upon Leonel.

Alexis carried a bouquet and a basket of fruits.

She entered the hospital.

She gently pushed the door of the VIP ward open, finding Calvin seated by the window, gazing outside.

The untouched food on the nearby table caught her attention.

Alexis sighed softly as she approached and took a seat.

“Why haven't you eaten? Is it not to your liking?” Calvin turned to face her.
