A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2631 “I just need to chill out” “Nope. No bar hopping for you." Alexis chuckled. “What, are you planning to keep me on a leash or something?” Leonel’s response was slow but playful. “If that's the game you're into, 'm in.” Alexis couldnt believe his audacity and scoffed, “In your dreams.” Just as Leonel was about to respond, his phone interrupted. It was an unknown caller.

The voice on the other end was direct. “Is this Mr. Leonel Douglas? I regret to inform you that your father has died in prison.” The word ‘died’ echoed in Leonel’s mind.

() He was momentarily lost for words.

He wanted to deny the man was his father, yet he remained silent.

What was the point? The man was dead already.

Alexis overheard part of the conversation.

She gently patted Leonel’s shoulder, suggesting softly, “You should go handle this. It'll be your last chance to see him.” Leonel ended the call, the sound echoing in the quiet room.

He gazed at Alexis, his eyes reflecting a silent sorrow. Deep inside, he grappled with a complex mix of emotions. The news of his father’s death had struck him unexpectedly, leaving him lost in a sea of conflicting feelings.

Leonel harbored a sense of relief, believing it to be the result of Kenneth’s own karma.

With his passing, Leonel also realized he was alone in the world, without any blood relatives.

Time seemed to stretch on before Leonel finally found his voice.

Alexis opened her mouth to speak, but Leonel gently took her hand before she could form a question. “Alexis, can you come with me?” he asked, his voice as soft as a murmur.

It was not about saying final goodbye to Kenneth together or anything.

Leonel simply knew he needed Alexis by his side more than ever.

Alexis nodded, her eyes full of understanding. “Okay, I'l come with you.”

Chapter 2632 They would have to travel to another city to see Kenneth for the last time, which would take about three hundred kilometers from where Leonel stood.

Once they were settled in the car, Alexis asked softly, “How about I drive? You don’t look too well.” “It's fine,” Leonel replied, brushing off her concern with a slight shake of his head.

He took a moment, sitting in silence, before securing his seat belt and igniting the engine.

() Three hours later, they arrived at Warsew.

Upon arrival, Leonel signed his name, and two hours later, he received a white urn containing Kenneth's ashes.

Outside, Alexis waited patiently.

As Leonel emerged, she approached him with a gentle inquiry. “Are you planning to take it back to Duefron?” Leonel, his voice low, shook his head. “He hasn't completed his journey yet. I'll leave it here in Warsew.

Alexis felt a wave of confusion wash over her.

Leonel led her to the riverside. He carefully opened the urn and released the ashes gently into the flowing river.

Gradually, the dust remains drifted away, disappearing into the waters depths.

A silent finality hung in the air.

Placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, Alexis gently asked, “Do you still hate him?” Leonel offered no words in response. Instead, he turned and embraced Alexis tenderly.

He nestled his face close to her, remaining silent, lost in his thoughts.

Alexis chose not to break the silence.

Gazing into the distance, she pondered how the shadows of one’s childhood could take a lifetime to fade. Despite Leonel's wealth and success, the scars of his past seemed destined to linger in his heart forever.

They lingered by the river for about half an hour before finally departing.

As the evening settled in at eight, Leonel guided the car back to Duefron. Remaining seated, he softly suggested to Alexis, “You go home first.” Casting a side glance at him, Alexis sensed something unspoken.

In a tone filled with quiet resolve, Leonel added, “I'm heading out.

I'll return before ten.” Alexis understood his unspoken intentions.

Chapter 2633 She simply nodded. “Alright, but do come back early,” she responded.

After she stepped out of the car, she paused, leaned back toward the window, and gently advised, “Drive slowly, okay?” A subtle smile briefly crossed Leonel’s face as he acknowledged her concern.

The car door closed, and the sleek black sports car gradually disappeared into the night. Alexis remained outside for a moment, her gaze following the path he had taken. She knew he was heading to visit his mother’s grave.

Upon entering her apartment, Alexis closed the door and let out a tired sigh. She pulled out a hefty stack of dossiers, determined to occupy her mind while waiting for Leonel. Despite feeling exhausted, she made herself a strong cup of coffee, bracing herself for the long evening ahead.

Leonel didn't return until the clock neared midnight.
