A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2451 Leonel remained in good spirits. Regardless of her attempts to provoke him, anger eluded him.

Fatigue tinged Alexis’ demeanor.

She snuggled against him, her mind dwelling on Calvin's ailment, yet sleep eluded her.

“Concerned about Calvin?" Leonel’s voice resonated in the obscurity.

Alexis murmured her assent.

In moments like these, she found herself open to sharing with Leonel.

She delved into details about Calvin's situation, discussing his parents and recounting the past when she took him under her wing.

Alexis spoke in hushed tones, and Leonel absorbed her words in unwavering silence.

As she concluded, with his face nestled in her neck, he posed a quiet question.

“Alexis, if I hadn't left then, would you still have welcomed him into your life?” A faint smile graced Alexis’ lips.

“Absolutely! Although I would've had you handle most of it." Leonel’s voice lowered, its warmth accentuated.

“So, will you allow me to take care of it now?” Alexis remained silent for an extended period of time.

She responded casually, “Even if I accept your assistance, don't anticipate a permanent residence.” “Okay! I'll move out as we agreed.

But I bet you'll miss me, Alexis. You'll get addicted to having me around.” Alexis could barely endure continuing to listen.

Leonel projected an air of dignity outwardly, but in private, he was such a flirt! From the age of 20 onward, she bore the weight of life alone. Even during her most struggling time, dependence was a foreign concept.

His departure left her determined not to lean on anyone again.

Chapter 2452 Independence became her unwavering stance.

Yet he returned, uttering, “Alexis, let me handle it!" Alexis shut her eyes briefly. Alexis, you've always been pragmatic.

Why, when it comes to Leonel, does emotion sneak in? She thought in confusion.

A night of tenderness passed.

In the early morning, Alexis rose to freshen up. The toothpaste was neatly squeezed out, and the towel was carefully placed in its place.

A faint smile graced her lips. Leonel, the unexpected housekeeper, was doing quite a commendable job.

Beyond that, the toaster emitted a satisfying sound, accompanied by the aroma of perfectly toasted bread. Alexis completed her ablutions and stepped out.

Leonel sat at the dining table, clad in a snow-white shirt paired with gray trousers, presenting a neat and tidy appearance.

The morning feast consisted of a ham sandwich, a glass of milk, and a plate adorned with assorted fruits.

Alexis desired a cup of coffee, but Leonel forbade her from having ...

“Milk is all you're gonna get. Plus, I plan to break your smoking habit. Second-hand smoke isn't ideal either.” Alexis bit into the sandwich, her words muffled.

“Then why don't you quit smoking?” Leonel lifted his gaze, a touch of depth in his eyes.

“Do you want me to quit smoking?” Alexis remained silent. Convincing a man to quit smoking was a task for his wife.

At present, it wasn't her problem.

She continued to eat in silence, sipping her milk. Leonel maintained a fixed gaze. Suddenly, he remarked, “Last night, I quite enjoyed it!” In response, Alexis accidentally sprayed a mouthful of milk on his face.

A moment of hushed stillness followed.

Alexis managed a strained smile.

“Apologies, Mr. Douglas!” After a while, Leonel wiped his face with a napkin and remarked, “Sooner or later, I'll get even with you!”

Chapter 2453 Alexis opted not to engage in the banter.

Following breakfast, she headed to the law firm for a morning court session. The plan was to visit Calvin at the hospital once her Legal duties concluded.

Throughout the day, Leonel refrained from intruding on her space.

Upon departing the hospital, she encountered him conversing with the hospital director.

Choosing not to interrupt, she observed, from a distance beneath a tree, a solitary figure.

While conversing, Leonel periodically cast glances her way.

It was only after concluding the discussion that he approached her.

Alexis observed him.
