Chapter 2641 Leonel treated her with utmost care.

He began contacting colleagues and family members, adjusting his schedule to prioritize her.

“Chloe, let's lighten my workload for the next two months... Yes, I need to be there for my wife.” “Edwin, let's move our meeting to a home session. Yes, you heard me.

Yes, Alexis is pregnant and needs me.” “Marcus, remember the tonics you recommended? Could you get some more? Yeah, for Alexis. She needs the nutrition.” In every conversation, Leonel’s focus was clear: Alexis’ pregnancy was his priority.

Hearing Leonel's repeated references to her pregnancy, Alexis rolled her eyes playfully, feigning annoyance. “You talk as if I'm the first woman ever to be pregnant. I'm not that fragile.” Leonel leaned in close, their noses touching.

“But I'm the one who got you pregnant. If you're not precious, then who is?” Alexis couldn't help but smile. “You do have a way with words." Leonel’s hand rested gently on her belly. “I have a feeling it’s going to be a girl” Alexis, too, harbored a fondness for girls and hoped for a daughter.

Her voice softened unintentionally. “Any ideas for a fitting name for our child?” () ‘s () Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

She then expressed her dissatisfaction. “Douglas doesn't quite cut it.

It doesn't resonate like my last name, Fowler.” Leonel grinned. “Indeed, the Fowler name is exceptional. Douglas pales in comparison.” Following his remark, both of them shared a spontaneous Laugh.

After a pause, Alexis inquire softy st tre that wee going to have a chld7" Koos In truth, she wasn't particularly fond of children.

Infants were incredibly fragile and posed a challenge in caregiving during their early stages.

Plus, they had a penchant for crying.

However, if it were the offspring of her and Leonel, she believed that no matter how boisterous, the child would be endearing.

Chapter 2642 Alexis had lightened her workload, concentrating on recovery and eagerly anticipating the wedding. Laura, too, was a constant presence, providing companionship throughout Alexis’ pregnancy. Lately, Laura had taken up knitting. Not only did she craft sweaters for her own future child, but she also unintentionally created several for Alexis’ baby.

Numerous sets of light pink and baby blue sweaters, coupled with tiny trousers, presented an adorable sight.

The entire ensemble couldn't match the length of Leonel’'s arm.

Observing this, Alexis leaned in, resting her face on Laura's shoulder. Blinking, she praised, “Laura, you're truly versatile.” Laura blushed.

She hadn't entirely accustomed herself to her proximity to Alexis. In truth, after an extended period of interaction, Alexis proved to be somewhat different from Laura's initial perception.

Alexis was no longer as aloof and haughty as she once was.

Occasionally, she even exhibited a more playful, childlike demeanor in Laura's presence.

Leonel must have a strong liking for Alexis, Laura thought as she contemplated.

In the midst of her thoughts, the apartment door was pushed open.

Leonel returned, accompanied by Edwin. Nonchalantly changing his shoes, Leonel inquired, “Any cravings for tonight's dinner? () ‘s () After a brief contemplation, Alexis replied, “I'm in the mood for honey-glazed, smoked spare ribs.” Alexis glanced at Laura.

Laura whispered, “I'd like to have that as well.” Leonel grinned. “It's okay, Laura. Edwin will be our chef tonight.” Laura blushed, stealing a glance at Edwin. He appeared well-groomed, his allure undiminished since before marriage, unlike herself, sporting a baby bump. With slender limbs, she felt somewhat Like a petite frog.

She couldn't help but worry whether he found it unappealing.

Nonetheless, despite her frog-like appearance, Edwin remained cheerful and attracted to her.

After glancing at Edwin, Laura promptly shifted her position and whispered, “I'm in the mood for prawns.” Edwin entered with a grocery bag in hand, containing prawns.

Upon witnessing his, Laura's joy was evident. “How did you know I was craving these?” Edwin casually unbuttoned his cuff link, grinning. “I did mention last night that I'm a mind reader.” Laura's face turned as red as a ripe apple, as she recalled last night.

Chapter 2643 She deemed Edwin shameless.

Lounging on the sofa, Alexis narrowed her eyes at Edwin. “It’s still daylight, Edwin, so show some restraint. Ten Lauras wouldn't be sufficient for your teasing antics.” As Edwin headed to the kitchen, he quipped, “I just need one.” Alexis snickered. “Hah! That's our man.” Laura's face deepened in color, and she remained silent. Observing Laura's expression, Alexis understood what had stirred Edwin's interest.

Edwin was robust in nature, while Laura was such a sweet little thing.

She was so endearing.

Edwin excelled not only in teasing Laura but also in the culinary arts. The dishes he prepared were delectable.

After dinner, Edwin spent two hours in the study with Leonel. Upon emerging, Edwin departed with Laura. Eventually, Leonel, rubbing his temples, stepped out of the study.

AngelasLibrary Engaged in watching TV, Alexis inquired softly, “You've been spending a lot of time with Edwin lately, haven't you?” Leonel nodded.

Unbuttoning his shirt, he expressed gently, “He approached me for an investment in a project. After evaluation, it seems viable. I might have a business trip for a few days next week” Alexis nodded without delving further into the matter.

Leonel draped his arm around her shoulders from behind the sofa and inquired, “Why the sudden lack of inquiries?” “It wouldn't be suitable for me to pry into your business matters.

Besides, Edwin is like a brother to me.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Alexis maintained a clear distinction between business and private matters.

Leonel proposed, “Wouldn't it be fitting if I gifted you some shares?” After a brief pause, he inquired, “What do you think of twenty percent?” Turning to face him, Alexis embraced his neck and whispered, “Don't, Leonel. We don't need to convey our feelings through such gestures.

I have my own financial means.” Gazing down at her, Leonel whispered in a husky tone, “Yet, Alexis, I desire to give you all that I possess and share every aspect of my life with Lx oN Inhaling deeply, Alexis expressed, “Your words truly move me.” Leonel affectionately patted her hip and remarked, “You're quite a character.”

Chapter 2644 Following a brief laugh, Alexis shifted to business matters. “Oh, speaking of which, Calvin has been well taken care of abroad. He's returning.” Leonel exhibited possessiveness and jealousy.

Observing his expression, Alexis reassured in a hushed tone, “Don't be jealous. Calvin is aware of my pregnancy, and that we're planning to get married. He actually brought back our wedding gifts from abroad.” Leonel playfully pinched Alexis’ nose and quipped, “I'll consider him as the son we've never had.” Alexis chuckled with a hint of irritation. “Come on! Calvin is more like a brother to me. Did you even hear yourself? He's only a few years younger than you. Leonel, why do you resemble my dad in this shameless manner now?" Leonel affectionately patted her head and grinned.

Just as he was about to speak, his phone buzzed-a call from Darwin.

Leonel picked up the call, and a subtle shift in his expression followed.
