Chapter 2671 He didn't give her the chance to leave.

After a long stare, Alexis averted her gaze, her voice softening. “If my presence bothers you, I'l move out. You can avoid me when I return to visit my parents. I've never troubled you, Leonel. I hope you'll afford me the same courtesy.” Leonel’s smile remained, though it carried a bitter edge.

He was constantly bothered by Calvin's presence in Alexis’ life, yet he couldn't express it. His only outlet was to utter harsh words, masking his sadness. He yearned for an explanation from Alexis, but she offered none, not even a denial of her closeness with Calvin.

A twinge of pain flickered in Leonel’s heart.

AngelasLibrary Their stalemate was interrupted by a rhythmic, gentle knock at the door. Three distinct knocks echoed.

Calvin's voice followed from outside. “Alexis, are you in there?” Alexis glanced at Leonel, noticing the slight curl of his lips. He leaned in, whispering provocatively, “Do you enjoy betraying Calvin?” Her reply was icy. “In the years we've been apart, you've only grown more twisted.” With that, she turned and opened the door.

The three of them stood, caught in an unexpected face-off.

Without a glance at Calvin, Alexis walked away, leaving the two men behind.

Calvin maintained his composure. “Leonel, were you and Alexis reminiscing about old times?” Leonel’ reply was laced with a faint smile. “Something like that.

It's a pleasant feeling.” As Leonel departed, he brushed against Calvin's shoulder, a subtle provocation.

Calvin looked on, smiling nonchalantly as if unfazed. Yet, once Leonel was gone, the smile vanished from his face, revealing a deeper turmoil.

Was Calvin truly indifferent? It seemed unlikely.

Calvin longed for the physical strength to burst through the door and interrupt Alexis and Leonel. He hated the thought of them being alone together.

The idea of Alexis being with Leonel troubled Calvin deeply.

Calvin was hesitant to admit it, but what Alexis had planned to do with Leonel pained him.

He didn't like the thought of Alexis being with Leonel repeatedly, even though he knew she didn't really have a choice at this point.

It wasn't just Calvin's possessiveness. His heart ached for her. He suspected Leonel still held a place in Alexis’ heart, yet she had no desire to be with him.

Chapter 2672 Her heart felt lifeless, as did her body.

How could she feel any desire? Calvin opened the door widely and entered slowly. It was his first visit to Alexis’ childhood bedroom.

He envied Leonel, who had grown up alongside Alexis, even sharing her princess bed. Leonel once had all of her affection.

Calvin felt lost in time, unable to establish a sequence.

He hadn't always been capable of loving others.

The only certainty in his heart was his fondness for Alexis. He once yearned to possess her, to be with her eternally.

But over the years, his feelings evolved.

Alexis, too, had come to understand Calvin well.

She returned to her bedroom on the third floor.

Evelyn was already asleep.

She lay on the large bed, with a puppy nestled beside her pillow.

It was said its name was Ollie.

The puppy was so adorable that Alexis felt an urge to stroke its fur.

However, as her fingers brushed Ollie, she suddenly withdrew them.

AngelasLibrary Ollie awoke.

Its dark eyes gazed at Alexis with a look of innocence.

Ollie whined softly.

It curled up, its tail forming a small loop, which was quite endearing.

Evelyn rolled over and laid her hand on Ollie. The puppy growled but didn't pull away. Eventually, Alexis reached out again, this time stroking its fur gently.

In the evening, Evelyn awoke.

Dressed in white one-piece pajamas, her small body contrasted with her large head.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up, feeling a bit scared in the unfamiliar surroundings. However, the puppy beside her barked reassuringly.

Evelyn picked it up, placing it on the bed, which brought her a sense of warmth.

Chapter 2673 In the living room, Alexis was engrossed in a book. Hearing the bark, she quickly went to the bedroom. Evelyn, holding Ollie close, softly called out, “Mom.” Alexis approached Evelyn, kissing her gently. “Baby, it's time for your medicine,” she said softly.

Evelyn frowned at the thought of the bitter medicine but remained cooperative.

Clutching the puppy, she said, “Ollie will have medicine too.” Alexis, with patience, explained, “Ollie is a puppy. Puppies don't need medicine.” “What if it gets sick?” Evelyn asked.

() While Alexis pondered a response, Calvin entered with the medicine and a glass of Evelyn's favorite orange juice.

He sat on the bed's edge, lifting Evelyn and the dog onto his lap.

Evelyn wrapped her arms around Calvin, leaning into his embrace as she took her medicine.

After a while of coaxing from Calvin, he looked at Alexis and smiled warmly. “She's such a good girl." Alexis returned the smile. “She listens to you more.” As they spoke, someone else appeared at the door.

Alexis looked up to see Leonel. He had likely entered without announcing himself, as he used to do. He didn't expect to walk in on such a scene.

The intimacy between Alexis and Calvin was evident, far exceeding what Leonel had expected.

They exchanged tender smiles, resembling a loving couple.
