A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2511 After a lingering kiss, he held her fingertips and said, “Laura, let's get married.” Their wedding ceremony was small in size but exceptionally grand.

Attended by only close family and friends, numbering fewer than 50 individuals, the church was adorned with warmth.

The Fowler family attended the event.

To Alexis’ surprise, Edwin also invited Leonel, who appeared sharp in a three-piece suit, though visibly leaner.

Leonel approached leisurely and took a seat beside Alexis.

He ardently admired her in the beige dress, gracefully enveloping her slender contours.

This was an outfit he had never seen before.

On the stage, Edwin and Laura swapped wedding rings.

In a hushed tone, Leonel remarked, “If it hadn't been for that night, maybe we would've ended up married as well.” Alexis remained silent.

She was cognizant of Leonel's recent activities.

The dates set up by her parents started getting canceled, with no one daring to ask her out.

She understood it was orchestrated by Leonel.

Angela's Library As a prosperous businessman in Duefron, he now wielded substantial influence.

Born into wealth and privilege, Alexis didn't hold Leonel’s strategies in high regard.

She maintained a composed demeanor towards him, unwilling to engage openly in discussions about those matters, deeming it futile.

Concluding the wedding, as she rose to depart, Laura's bridal bouquet unexpectedly landed in her arms.

All eyes were focused on her.

The atmosphere was delicate, especially with Leonel seated beside her.

Alexis forced a smile. “It looks like I should invest more effort into dating!” Clenching his fists, Leonel intensified his hold.

Holding the bouquet, Alexis planted a kiss on Laura's cheek, saying, “Happy marriage!” Afterward, she departed.

Chapter 2512 All the guests observed Leonel.

His face pallid, he also stood, nodded faintly, and departed.

Alexis had a few drinks at a bar before opting for a cab ride home.

She had moved out of that apartment she once shared with Leonel and into the one formerly occupied by her parents before they got married.

Alexis felt somewhat lonely at times, her sole companion being a cat.

Upon returning to her apartment, she discovered Leonel crouching at her doorstep, sans suit jacket, dressed in only a white dress shirt.

“What brings you here?” Alexis unlocked the door and entered.

Leonel trailed behind.

He had visited this place before during his childhood, accompanying Waylen.

The apartment now housed a cat, a charming little grey one.

Alexis fed the cat.

Speaking casually, Alexis remarked, “Leonel, given your current status, you can have any beautiful woman you desire. You enjoy being pampered and reliving childhood sweethearts. You can purchase that. So, why trouble yourself with me?” Leonel stood in close proximity to her.

He could enfold her with a mere extension of his arm, but he refrained.

He pleaded, “Alexis, I possess everything now! Can we start over? I'll treat you well, and you can have anything you want!” Alexis paused before softly asking, “Can you resurrect the Leonel I used to know?” Leonel’s countenance paled; he couldn't.

With a smile, Alexis stroked the cat, her voice softer. “Leonel, I'm a perfectionist. It's never about your success or wealth.” The other person fell silent. “Just go, and don’t return. I don’t want to relocate again” In the end, Leonel tenderly enveloped her.

Leaning against her, he murmured, “I'll provide you with everything I have, alright?” “I don't desire it!” Alexis gently urged him away. “Please, put an end to this!” Throughout, she remained gentle, refraining from arguments or harsh words, evidently resolute in letting go.

Leonel rose to his feet, his voice tinged with a trace of anger.

“Back then, I only felt pity for her. I thought it was wrong to speak poorly of a woman who lost a leg. I didn’t love her! Alexis, you might consider me heartless, but aren't you the same?”

Chapter 2513 Alexis responded with a subtle smile, “Indeed! I've lost my love, but she lost a leg. But how is that my responsibility, Leonel? Am I the one accountable for her accident? Moreover, what we shared was merely a fleeting connection from a few nights together. People marry and divorce, don't they? Separation... is commonplace, isn't it?” She looked at him, still smiling. “You've given up on us before, haven't you?” Following this, she gestured dismissively, “Okay, that's sufficient. It's fruitless. You should leave.” Leonel observed her.

Alexis seemed more focused on the cat than on him.

After a brief moment, he eventually departed.

The apartment door swung open and then shut.

Alexis seemed somewhat bewildered.
