A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2491-2500

Chapter 2491 “Leonel, could you get me some juice?” Tears filled his eyes, a mix of regret and realization.

Alexis returned to her apartment, finding it untouched yet devoid of Leonel's presence.

His belongings, even the meals he had prepared, had disappeared as if he had never been there.

She sat quietly in the living room before heading to her car. On the phone with her assistant, she instructed, “Put my apartment on sale for me.” Angela's Library As she drove, her mind wandered through memories of Leonel.

She wondered how long it would take to erase him from her thoughts.

Arriving at the mountain's base, she stopped abruptly, her heart pounding.

Gazing at the star-filled sky, she let out a faint, bewildered smile. That night, she slept in her car, catching a cold and not returning to the law firm for three days.

Upon her return, her secretary informed her that Mr. Douglas from Genesis Investment had called, needing her negotiation skills for a case.

Alexis, maintaining her composure, acknowledged and later contacted Leonel.

Their conversation was strictly professional, discussing a five-day business trip to Czanch.

Alexis, ever separating her personal and professional life, confirmed her availability for the following Monday.

After the call, as fatigue set in, her father rang, reminding her of her father’s birthday.

There was a feast at home and her presence was requested.

It had been a while since she last visited home. Agreeing to attend, she inquired about a preferred gift.

Waylen jovially responded that her presence was the best gift but also playfully warned her against too much celebrity mingling.

Alexis offered a gentle smile.

After wrapping up her work, she headed to the villa.

As evening approached, the house buzzed with life.

The aroma of food filled the air, and servants bustled about. In the dimming light, Alexis warmly embraced Waylen.

She then retrieved a large bouquet of roses from her sports car's trunk.

“A gift for my dearest Mom and Dad!" Waylen chuckled. “You always know the perfect gift, especially one to brighten Mom's day!”

Chapter 2492 Holding the bouquet, Alexis entered the villa.

Waylen watched her with a thoughtful gaze, pausing momentarily to survey the cars of family members who had gathered to celebrate. Yet, one person's absence was palpable.

In the solitude of his study, Waylen had reflected deeply since Leonel’s departure that morning.

He believed his actions were justified but couldn't shake off a sense of regret.

If he truly saw Leonel as his son, how could he justify driving him away? These thoughts lingered for days, accompanied by memories of Leonel’s childhood, his help with business matters, and their shared time together in the study.

Now, that connection felt lost.

Waylen smoked a few cigarettes, his thoughts interrupted only when someone called him back inside.

He walked slowly, occasionally glancing back, half-expecting Leonel to appear.

During the birthday celebration, the younger members of the Fowler and Evans families, including Edwin, Laura, and Olivia, gathered around a large table adorned with Rena’s homemade cake and longevity noodles, Waylen's favorites.

A place was set for Leonel as they always did, but as dinner commenced, his absence was unmistakable, and his name remained unspoken to keep Alexis’ spirits up.

The butler then interrupted with a delivery. “Mr. Fowler, this is from Mr Douglas!” Angela's Library Waylen stood abruptly. “Where is he?” The butler hesitated. “He left the gift and didn’t come in." Waylen resettled into his chair with a soft smile.

“Well, he's very nice to bring me a gift. Please, take it to my study.” The butler nodded and ascended the stairs with the package.

Waylen glanced at Alexis. “Haven't seen him around lately?” Alexis responded with characteristic frankness. “We have a case next week in Czanch. It's strictly professional.” Waylen didn't press further.

Feeling unsettled, Alexis excused herself after dinner and ascended to the balcony to breathe in the cool night air.

In the back of the villa, she noticed a Land Rover, unmistakably Leonel’s.

He was there, leaning against it and smoking.

Their eyes met, bridging the distance with a silent exchange.

Chapter 2493 In the deep night, Leonel’s gaze, lit by the crimson ember of his cigarette, lingered.

He was fixated on Alexis, unable to tear his eyes away.

He watched her, a silhouette in the spring night, her dress flowing, hair dancing in the wind, her face a soft glow in the dark.

There had been so many moments when he had held that face close, their kisses fervent.
