Chapter 2472 However, with Alexis being his own daughter and Leonel almost like his own son, any unsightly issues would pose complications.

Alexis acknowledged his concerns.

Pausing momentarily, she offered a faint smile. “At worst, it would revert to how it was before!” Concluding, she rose from her seat and said, “Dad, I must head back to the firm.” Waylen frowned. “Are you that busy? I haven't concluded my inquiries yet!” Alexis leaned down and kissed him. “You could call Leonel back and thoroughly interrogate him. I believe he'd willingly discuss even his hobbies with you. Dad, trust me, men often find more common ground to converse about.” Waylen perceived his daughter as quite the mischievous one.

Could Leonel truly handle her? He truly started to wonder the dynamics of their relationship.

As Alexis rose, she smiled. “Dad, go take a shower! I can tell it was quite intense.” With that, she swiftly departed.

Waylen found himself without anyone to vent his irritation to.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Upon Alexis’ departure, she received a call from Leonel, his voice soothing.

“Did Mr. Fowler summon you for a conversation?” Alexis sat in her car.

Casually chatting with him, she had one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding her phone.

“So, Leonel, you have your informants at my place!” He chuckled softly. “How else could I successfully pursue my wife?” Alexis paused.

Reflecting on her father’s comments, Edwin's inquiries, and her feelings for Leonel, for the first time, she asked him, “Leonel, are you serious? Are you genuinely committed? Can I trust that you won't leave without cause, won't become unreachable, and won't bring up the idea of parting again?” There was a moment of silence on the Line.

His voice was somewhat hoarse and trembling when he spoke up.

He reassured her, “I'm serious! Alexis, I won't leave you again!” Alexis felt a lump in her throat.ư

Chapter 2473 Finally, after eight years of separation, she was prepared to admit her lingering feelings for him, still open to granting him a second chance. Her voice husky, she asked, “Where are you? I want to see youl” Over the phone, Leonel’s tone carried an unmistakable tenderness. “I'm currently at the company!” There was no mention of him being in a meeting.

Alexis responded directly, “I'll be right there!” Leonel swallowed audibly, his voice husky as he responded, “Alright! Give me a call when you reach. I'll be waiting for you.” With that, he ended the call.

Angela's Library The individuals in the meeting room all turned their attention to him.

Leonel grinned and explained, “It's my girlfriend!” The rest immediately grasped that he was referring to Miss Fowler, the renowned lawyer.

She was the only woman capable of leaving Leonel utterly captivated.

Leonel delayed the meeting by two hours. Upon returning to his office, he purposefully organized his desk and had his secretary arrange Alexis’ black tea. Once he descended to wait for Alexis.

preferred ready, Alexis’ car parked outside his company.

Leonel approached, opening the door for her, and gently inquired, “What's the matter?” Alexis’ eyes displayed a hint of redness.

He tenderly brushed against her eyes. “Have you been crying? This isn't like our competent lawyer! Did Edwin give you a hard time?” Alexis shook her head. “He wouldn't dare to.” Leonel’s tone softened further. “Did I upset you?" Alexis continued to shake her head.

In the end, Leonel opted to bring her to the office first. Despite using his exclusive elevator, his subordinates couldn't help but notice their boss holding hands with a tall, stunningly beautiful girl with long black hair.

She was none other than Miss Fowler, the renowned lawyer in Duefron, typically sharp and brisk, yet now she appeared docile and gentle Lx omen Their astonishment was palpable.

Their boss was truly extraordinary.

Leonel paid no heed to the stares. He escorted Alexis to his office, securing the door and drawing the blinds to shield them from curious eyes.

Chapter 2474 Subsequently, he tenderly lifted Alexis onto his desk, planting soft kisses on her eyelids.

“Now, can you share what's troubling you?” Alexis’ long legs hung in the air.

Words eluded her, prompting Leonel to step closer, his hand gently resting on her legs.

His gaze penetrated deeply into hers.

Speaking on her behalf, he asked, “Alexis, do you wish to be with me?” Alexis’ lips quivered.

After a moment, she reached out, lightly gripping his shoulders and gazing up at him. She still hesitated to utter those compromising words, unwilling to admit it.

Leonel refrained from pressuring her.

Angela's Library Lowering his head, he tenderly kissed her lips with a soft touch.

In the quiet, vacant office, only their quiet breaths resonated, creating a beautiful ambiance.

Leonel embraced her, pulling her closer.

They were in such close proximity, their hearts nearly synchronizing. It was almost overpowering! His lips brushed against her ear. “Alexis, you're finally mine!” Not in the context of lingering and indulging in a consensual physical relationship but in the sense of a lifelong commitment, devoted and faithful to each other.

Alexis’ eyes glistened with emotion.

Her longing for Leonel was intense, yet she was too proud and surrendering herself to him felt almost unbearable.
