A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2691 He had left a lamp on and was seated on the living room sofa, engrossed in a book. But he awaited her return.

Alexis looked slightly weary when she entered.

Calvin glanced up at her. With the intuition of a man who knew, he could discern from her expression that Leonel had been intimate with her.

After a brief silence, Calvin rose and poured her a glass of warm water. With a soft voice, he offered, “I'l make you something to eat.” AngelasLibrary Alexis halted him with a single word, “Calvin.” Her voice was raspy, tinged either with sorrow or physical strain.

Calvin didn't probe; he simply approached her.

Alexis rested quietly against his shoulder and said quietly, “When I get pregnant, let's return to Braseovell.” Calvin didn't question what would happen if pregnancy didn't occur.

He simply acknowledged her words with a nod, gave her a gentle pat, and headed towards the kitchen.

He prepared a bowl of her preferred noodles. After eating up half of it, she found herself unable to resist.

Memories of the intimate encounter in Leonel's apartment flooded back to her.

But no, it was more of a crude physical interaction between a man and a woman. The thought made her feel nauseous.

Ultimately, she couldn't stop herself. She rushed to the restroom to throw up.

Calvin stayed by the door and kept his distance.

Alexis splashed her face with cold water. Once she felt more composed, she glanced at him through the mirror and whispered, “I will get pregnant. I have to." Calvin's heart sank a bit at her words.

He even thought about suggesting she should be with Leonel, to stop this self-inflicted pain.

But the words just wouldn't leave his mouth.

Alexis was trapped in a corner. She had led Leonel to believe she was involved with Calvin.

Calvin was aware of Leonel's nature. Even if he appeared indifferent now, trouble would surely follow once he and Alexis got into a serious argument. Leonel’s love for Alexis meant he would always be bothered that she had a history with another man.

The following day, Waylen called Alexis.

Alexis suspected Marcus might have snitched on her, especially since Marcus had also attended the dinner party the previous night.

Her father likely had questions.

Chapter 2692 She drove solo and made her way back to the Fowler residence. Upon parking, she noticed someone in the lot. It was Leonel, She stepped out of the vehicle and shut the door.

“You seem to be everywhere, Mr. Douglas,” she remarked.

He leaned on the car door and idly kicked at the pebbles beneath his feet. He then glanced up and asked, “What's wrong? Am I not allowed to visit Dad and Mon? They're also my parents now.” Alexis wasn't going to be easily fooled.

She tried to ignore Leonel and leave, but he blocked her path.

He approached slowly and bent close to her as he eyed the turtleneck she wore today.

With a laugh, Leonel commented, “Really, you have the courage to return? Did Calvin have any reaction to seeing you with all those love bites?” “It's none of your concern,” she retorted.

With a sneer, Alexis added, “But you're not as impressive as you used to be. Whether it's skill or physical stamina, you've noticeably declined. What's the matter? With all your wealth, can't you afford some practice? It's unlike you to be so miserly.” Her words were cutting and she refused to back down.

Both amused and irritated, Leonel retorted, “Did you not enjoy last night? You wouldn't have had sex with me four times if it wasn't pleasurable.” Alexis glared at him and headed towards the hall.

From behind, Leonel’s cold voice followed. “You can't even walk property.” In response, Alexis removed her high heels and hurled them at Leonel.

He effortlessly dodged them. He was about to add more when Waylen's voice echoed from the second floor, “What's going on down there?” As they all converged in the hall, Waylen sipped his tea and massaged his forehead. “One of you is a parent, the other a CEO of a major listed company, the second largest in this continent by market value. But here you are, bickering like children. It's disgraceful.” Waylen felt embarrassed, especially at the thought of facing anyone.

He felt particularly sorry for Calvin.

Marcus had returned with unsettling news for Waylen the previous night. “Dad, Alexis is still involved with Leonel. They left the party early, together in the same car.

They even shared a kiss before they got in. They were probably headed to a hotel or their place.” With a cold tone, Marcus added, “Perhaps there'll be another ‘happy event’ on the horizon again.” Again... The word ‘again’ echoed bitterly in Waylen's mind.

His anger was immense.

It wasn't that he opposed Alexis and Leonel together, but... What about Calvin? Waylen might not have been fond of entertainment industry folks, but Calvin had left that world behind and had proven himself a decent man.

Chapter 2693 Calvin appeared neat and composed.

Truly, he was a more suitable match for Alexis compared to Leonel, but she got back to Leonel after she made a commitment to Calvin? This was such a mess! Waylen got to his feet, paced around, and then halted. “When did you two start this relationship again? Have you been fair to Calvin? Haven't I always told you from your childhood to stay true to your significant other and honor your promises?” At that moment, Marcus happened to come down the stairs.

He had hung out until late the previous night, which left him looking somewhat out of sorts today.

Alexis shot Marcus a piercing look.

Marcus grinned as he fiddled with his diamond-studded watch and said, “I'm quite fond of Calvin. Alexis, it's not right to mistreat someone who's honest, right?” Alexis wished he would stop talking.

Waylen nodded in agreement. “Exactly. You shouldn't take advantage of Calvin just because he's compliant with you. Now, what's it going to be... Should I inform Calvin, or will you two promise to stop this... whatever it is?” Alexis couldn't refute the truth that she had indeed been with Leonel last night.

She just accepted it and gave her word. “I'll end things with Leonel and commit to a life with Calvin." Waylen turned to Leonel and asked, “And what do you think?" () Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Leonel bowed his head and fiddled with his lighter. He then responded nonchalantly, “I'm fine with it." This response infuriated Waylen. He stormed upstairs and declared, “Alright, I'm done meddling in your matters.” Waylen intended to discuss this with Rena.

He had decided to distance himself and left the matter for Rena to handle.

After that, Alexis also took her leave. This left only Leonel and Marcus in the living room. With a skeptical look, Leonel eyed the younger man and asked coldly, “I find it hard to believe you actually like Calvin." Marcus’ hypocrisy was evident.

He was marked by coldness and pride.

It seemed improbable that he would genuinely have any concern for Calvin.
