A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2681 Darwin likely had a day off from work and went shopping with Serenity. She carried a small green bag with clothes, probably from a local brand.

Contrastingly, Serenity's previous wardrobe comprised garments easily worth thousands, affording her the freedom to indulge.

Now, they probably needed a month's savings to afford items priced in the hundreds.

Leonel perceived their situation as pitiable.

AngelasLibrary Curiously, Darwin and Serenity displayed contentment rather than sorrow, much to Leonel’s disdain. He scoffed at the irony of two individuals, who were never meant to be, still finding themselves together.

Regrettably, there was no prospect for reconciliation between Leonel and Alexis.

Leonel pondered.

His conjecture centered on the notion that Darwin and Serenity, having lost everything, found solace in each other's company.

People who lost everything tended to harbor less hatred, and surviving on what little they had became their only recourse.

As Leonel drove away, Darwin and Serenity coincidentally crossed his path, catching a glimpse of him.

Darwin's expression tightened.

Clutching the fabric of her attire, Serenity regarded Leonel with a desire to speak but hesitated upon reflection. Suffering from a leg injury, Serenity struggled with her gait. Her husband, Darwin, faced challenges in altering their financial circumstances. However, Leonel, the man Serenity once ardently loved retained his charismatic allure.

An overwhelming sadness enveloped Serenity.

Observing her distress, Leonel sneered. He found satisfaction in her sorrow.

Leonel departed in his car.

Veiling her face, Serenity wept. She had acclimated to their current circumstances. Despite their financial constraints, Darwin treated her well, allocating most of his earnings to her well-being.

Despite their infrequent intimacy, Darwin and Serenity earnestly endeavored to find happiness.

Leonel's presence alone easily shattered their fragile contentment.

A mere glance from him became unbearable for Serenity.

Stripped of her facade, Serenity, amidst tears, implored Darwin to revert to their former lives. His countenance betrayed a hint of internal. conflict.

After a pause, Darwin said softly, “If you hadn't visited Leonel’s place that night during my business trip, none of this would have occurred, Leonel and I would have still been good friends.” Alexis would have retained a significant place in Darwin's heart.

If Darwin didn't see Alexis, he would likely forget that he ever had thoughts about her.

ALL would have been well.

Chapter 2682 The root cause of all their tragedies was Serenity’s excessive greed.

Now, she sought a return to their former lives, posing the question to Darwin.

Deep down, Darwin wished to inquire about the possibility of resurrecting his deceased mother.

Darwin suspected that Leonel was seeking revenge on them. Struggling himself, Darwin believed Leonel appeared to revel in humiliating him.

Darwin reconciled with the situation. In reality, he grew weary of the pretense in his relationship with Serenity.

Darwin chose not to abandon Serenity, yet he shed the pretense. Apart from work, he indulged in excessive drinking and encounters with lower-end escorts due to his modest income. The majority of these encounters cost him little, leaving him reeking of cheap perfume upon his return.

Serenity was well aware of the situation, yet she lacked the means to navigate through life on her own.

She endured it silently, never engaging in quarrels.

Darwin concluded that genuine love was absent in their relationship.

Thus, he ventured into excess. At times, he would remain absent for consecutive nights.

Bearing a wound, Leonel returned to Alexis’ apartment.

() His visit aimed to ascertain whether she had returned.

The surroundings remained unchanged.

Her absence persisted.

Seated in solitude in the dimly lit living room, Leonel exuded loneliness. Unable to endure the isolation any longer, he resolved to prepare a meal.

Fueled by his newfound role as a father, Leonel aspired to master the Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

art of preparing meals suitable for his daughter.

Having been away for a while, the apartment was sparsely stocked.

Intent on replenishing supplies, he headed to the supermarket.

Unanticipated was the encounter with Alexis at the supermarket.

In the fruit section where they had walked together, Alexis remained in her professional suit, half-squatting to pick up a piece of fruit.

The tight fabric showcased her body in a highly alluring manner.

He noticed her waist retained its slender form post-delivery.

A graceful elongation characterized the line of her legs as she stooped.

Admirably beautiful were her calves, and the morning saw his suit pants brushing against her delicate stockings.

Chapter 2683 Navigating a shopping cart, Leonel positioned himself behind her.

Upon straightening, Alexis caught sight of Leonel.

It had been a considerable time since their last encounter. Their interaction had been limited to sporadic messages from Leonel.

Alexis fixed her gaze on his countenance.

Disregarding the injury, Leonel lightly traced his face with his hand.

“Dad delivered a blow to my face,” he uttered with apparent indifference.

Intuitively, Alexis sensed it.

With a subtle nod, she traversed past him, assuming the demeanor of a casual acquaintance.

Intercepting her, Leonel seized her arm.

Turning his head, he whispered, “I don't think you'll forget. I can't believe you'll forget the days we spent together and the times we roamed around here. I also don't believe that Calvin can completely take my place.” AngelasLibrary Lowering her head, Alexis replied softly, “Life must go on.” Despite his scrutiny, she delicately extricated his hand. “There are people here. I can't afford to lose my composure.” Having expressed herself, she departed.
