Chapter 2521 Alexis... Truth be told, those years together, I was mighty content.” His youthful rebellion cost him their bond.

No matter how many times he professed his love for her, she wouldn't believe it.

Life would not have been as difficult, Leonel reasoned, if he had never known her.

But they had happened, and there was no going back.

They were so well together that they could have even gotten married. If only that night he hadn't struck her, perhaps they would've had a child...

He faintly smiled, allowing Alexis to step out of the car.

Alexis finally erupted. “Leonel, you're deranged! Do you think you can scare me?! Your life or death doesn't weigh an ounce on my mind!” “Really?” His smile lingered faintly.

Alexis slapped him, imprinting a five-finger mark on his fair face.

ANGELA'SLIBRARY But Alexis cried.

The person she despised most in her life was Leonel! He was at fault, the one who betrayed their love, who abandoned her for another, yet he dared to use himself as leverage...

In a fury, Alexis struck him several more times.

Leonel seemed unfazed, simply observing her tenderly.

Alexis’ voice choked as she saod, “Let me out of the car!” This time, Leonel didn’t comply. He refused to let her go and pulled her into an embrace, pressing her against the steering wheel. Cupping her face, he drew closer.

“Alexis, you still carry a torch for me, right? You're suffering just like I am, aren't you?” Her eyes red with tears, he planted a kiss on her.

It was far from a picturesque moment.

The kiss wasn't really blissful.

But Leonel paid it no mind; it had been ages since he'd felt her touch, kissing her fervently...

Alexis couldn't push him away.

She was ensnared in his embrace, holding on to him like someone in their final struggle.

Chapter 2522 “Alexis! Forgive me!” His voice was seductive and husky, murmuring into her ear.

Alexis listened in a daze.

When he eventually let her go, she sat beside him, smoothing the shirt he'd disheveled. Afterward, she opened the car door and left.

As the door closed softly, Leonel closed his eyes, probably thinking of his next move.

After a moment, he phoned his assistant. “Set up a meeting with the Smith family. We'll ink the intent contract come morning.” The assistant warned, “Mr. Douglas, taking on both the Fowler and Evans families isn't exactly a smart move.” It was akin to courting disaster! Leonel’s tone was casual. “Just do as I say!" Leonel hung up.

With a sigh, he leaned back in his seat and ran his fingers over his lips.

Alexis was the only thing on his mind.

He desperately missed her and longed for her with every fiber of his being.

He hadn't seen her in a while and it was killing him.

He was aware that he had a problem, but there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't get better. He didn’t want to get better either.

Alexis being with him was the only cure.

A knock on the car window interrupted his thoughts.

Leonel turned to look out the window.

‘An man in his fifties stood outside. His clothes were old and worn-out. His face was weathered, but Leonel recognized him instantly.

His biological father...

Kenneth Douglas leaned closer to the window, he exchanged a glance with his son as he rolled the window down.

They locked eyes. Two men bound by blood...

One dignified and the other of a low class.

Chapter 2523 A couple of seconds passed until Kenneth broke the silence. “Leonel. I saw you from afar. I wasn't sure at first, but it really is you.” Leonel stared at him without saying anything.

He studied the man before him.

He could remember clearly. His father was once a small business owner. He was usually well-dressed, and loved socializing in entertainment places.

Soon after, the man cheated on his wife, who ended up killing herself by jumping off a building.

Leonel used to despise his father so much.

To be honest, he never stopped hating him, neither did he think he would see him again. Especially in the state he was in.

Was this what they called karma? ANGELA'sLIBRARY Kenneth grew uneasy under Leonel’s cold gaze. He could barely recognize him.

He seemed nothing like the son he knew.
