Chapter 2611 Alexis laughed as she collected her phone. “Mom's actually bothered by you, you know.” Waylen held back a reply and instead basked in self-admiration.

He noticed the sparkling diamond ring on Alexis’ hand so he paused and asked, “Are you planning to marry Leonel?” Alexis glanced at the ring and stubbornly responded, “I just find it pretty.” Waylen looked at her and remarked, “Your mother is more honest than you.” Despite his biting comments, Waylen felt genuine joy inside. The journey might have been tough, but these two had ultimately found their way together. After drinking half his tea, he went up the stairs.

He anticipated discussing the wedding date with Rena.

He hoped Alexis and Leonel would get married before the year’s end.

On the following day, both Marcus and Elva were at home. Come noon, Edwin arrived with Laura and Olivia for lunch. Laura, despite only in the early stages of her pregnancy, was receiving attentive care from Edwin.

Marcus had a habit of arguing with Edwin.

He tossed out several witty, sarcastic remarks.

() Unfazed, Edwin simply smiled and turned to Waylen, “You know, Marcus is already 25. He's certainly at the age to consider marriage.” Waylen's gaze shifted to Marcus.

Previously, Waylen had focused mainly on Alexis and had somewhat neglected Marcus.

Now he had just realized that Marcus was 25.

Waylen admitted that his son was indeed at an appropriate age for marriage. At this point, he contemplated finding a suitable spouse for Marcus. While Marcus himself wasn't in a rush, Waylen felt it was time to take a more active interest as his father.

Marcus shot Edwin a look. He found his behavior quite cunning.

Just as Marcus dealt with Edwin, Edwin dealt with Marcus.

Rena observed the face-off between Marcus and Edwin and smiled.

“Lunch is ready. Edwin, since Laura is pregnant, please sit beside her and look after her” Edwin nodded in agreement. He had a deep respect for Rena.

During their lunch, Edwin took the initiative to serve most of Laura's meal. Laura felt somewhat embarrassed and was conscious of them being guests in someone else's home.

As Edwin served her more food, he asked, “Lost in thought? Just eat, or I might just have Aunt Rena and Uncle Waylen personally served you your food.” Laura remained silent and pouted.

Chapter 2612 Her eyes brimmed with tears.

Alexis couldn't help but comment, “Edwin, you're being too harsh. You seem to think Laura is weak and easy to push around.” To which Edwin responded casually, “I'm simply showing concern for her.” Everyone around the table was put off by this display.

Waylen felt that with his age, he couldn't compete with the younger generation in this kind of affectionate banter.

Waylen also believed that Edwin was indeed Mark's biological son.

Back then, Mark had won over his cherished sister Cecilia with his persuasive and sweet words.

Edwin proved to be just as bad, if not more, than his father.

AngelasLibrary Alexis was particularly fond of Laura. After their meal, the women gathered in the parlor for tea and conversation. Elva had prepared an assortment of unique beverages for them that rivaled those available commercially.

She made a special caffeine-free drink for Laura. One that was safe for expectant mothers.

Laura dressed lightly and delicately sipped her drink. She appeared somewhat delicate and fragile.

Alexis watched her intently.

She wondered if all pregnant women had this kind of aura. To her, Laura seemed even more radiant than before.

In that moment, Alexis found herself longing for a child of her own.

However, Leonel didn’t seem as keen on the idea. Alexis knew she needed to have a conversation with him. Agreement on such fundamental matters was crucial, especially if they were planning to marry to avoid future complications.

Lost in her thoughts, Alexis didn’t notice Marcus entered the room until her knocked softly on the door.

Looking up, Alexis greeted him, “Marcus!” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Marcus entered with a subtle smile on his face. He sat down across from Alexis, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

Alexis observed Marcus and sensed he had something on his mind.

After he sipped his tea, Marcus asked, “I've heard Serenity is in Heron too. Are you really that calm about it?” With a smile, Alexis replied, “What should I do, then? Chain Leonel to my side?” The idea of chasing Leonel to Acoiclya had not crossed her mind then, and it certainly didn’t now.

Her feelings for Leonel were genuine. She believed if he reciprocated and remained faithful, they could have a future together. But forcing him was not an option for her.

Testing Leonel’s loyalty was not something Alexis desired.

Chapter 2613 It would be tedious.

Marcus nodded in agreement. “Exactly. Even if you tied someone Like Leonel down, he wouldn't stay. It's better to let him be.” “What are you implying?” Alexis Laughed.

She finished her drink and stood up. “I should get going.” Marcus looked slightly concerned. “Aren't you staying for dinner?” Alexis already grabbed her coat and responded, “I've got a client meeting and it's urgent. Mr. Fowler, being a lawyer isn't like being a president. I can't just take off whenever I wish,” she said playfully as she walked to the door.

Marcus stopped her and said, “Alexis, you don't have to push yourself so hard.” These words left her momentarily speechless.

() ‘s () After a pause, she looked down and responded quietly, “Dad left his law career for his family. I actually love being a lawyer, Marcus...

I don’t want to quit, even if it gets tough.” She remembered how proud her father felt whenever she was recognized for her legal work.

Marcus watched her in silence.

With a smile, Alexis said, “Okay, let's not get too emotional. I have to go." Indeed, Alexis had a client meeting. She didn’t return to her apartment until 9 pm after a hectic half-day. She noticed two missed calls from Leonel but she didn’t rush to call him back. Instead, she stood quietly in front of the apartment's floor-to-ceiling windows, lost in thought.

Perhaps, she was ready for marriage.

And a child.
