A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2701-2710

Chapter 2701 Out of nowhere, she asked in her soft, sweet voice, “Mr. Douglas, are you my daddy?” Leonel, startled by the question, accidentally cut his finger, a streak of red blood appearing.

He momentarily froze but regained his composure as Evelyn repeated her question. Turning to her gently, he affirmed, “Yes, I'm Daddy!” Evelyn then fell silent, gazing at him with eyes full of longing.

Although Calvin had filled in for the father figure in her two-and-a-half-year life, somewhere deep inside, she seemed to know that he wasn't her real father and longed to connect with her real dad.

Leonel’s emotions swirled. He had spent the day wrestling with how to approach this topic with Evelyn.

() But she, with her innate cleverness, had made it easier than he'd anticipated.

He quickly cleaned the blood from his finger and dried his hands before lifting her into his arms.

Evelyn cuddled against his shoulder like a little puppy, softly murmuring, “Daddy!” Holding her with one arm and supporting her back with the other, Leonel felt an overwhelming surge of emotion.

She was his own flesh and blood.

Ollie, the puppy, danced excitedly at his feet but settled down after being fed some dog food and water.

As Leonel resumed cooking, Evelyn clung to him like a small koala, whispering into her father’s ear.

Despite her illness, she was lively and chatty, her spirit undiminished.

Leonel found himself wishing that he could always have his little girl by his side.

Upon her return to the villa, Alexis carried only a small suitcase, aware that most of her belongings were still in Braseovell and that Leonel had likely prepared everything necessary for Evelyn.

Entering with her luggage, she received a cursory glance from Leonel.

“Put it in the master bedroom,” he instructed indifferently.

Noticing Evelyn clinging to Leonel's back, Alexis approached with concern for her daughter's safety. She attempted to take her down, but Evelyn refused to let go, clinging even tighter.

Alexis, with no other option, left Evelyn there, cautioning Leonel to be careful with her.

Leonel responded with a cold snort, “I won't let anything happen to her! I don't understand you two, always leaving the child with the maid. Couldn't one of you have stayed with her?” Alexis struggled to find the right words.

She chose not to explain the situation further and simply headed upstairs with her luggage.

Leonel watched her go, his gaze intensifying. Evelyn, still close to his ear, innocently asked, “Daddy, do you and Calvin both Like Mommy, right?”

Chapter 2702 Leonel gently stroked her head but didn't give a direct answer.

Evelyn, young and easily distracted, quickly moved on from the topic.

In her mind, she was just beginning to understand that she would be living here now. She worried about Calvin, contemplating asking her daddy if Calvin could move in too, so they could be a family of four.

In the master bedroom, Alexis was struck by its thoughtful arrangement.

The large bed, with its covers tossed aside, likely Evelyn's recent resting spot, caught her attention.

She softly touched the bedsheet and observed the furniture and the wardrobe prepared for both man and woman, reminiscent of a bridal suite. She suspected there must be a children’s room somewhere too.

‘What emotions had driven Leonel to prepare all this? He might have hoped for a reconciliation upon her return, but she came with different intentions. Now that her true motives were out, she wondered how he would react.

Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.

Not wanting to dwell in the room, she quickly went back downstairs after placing her suitcase.

Throughout the meal, her thoughts remained in turmoil.

Leonel was the epitome of calm and composure, adeptly feeding Evelyn.

This was probably a skill he had mastered while caring for younger siblings in his past.

Evelyn ate obediently, her only peculiarity being her aversion to onions, which she promptly spat out.

e, casting an unspoken tension into the air.

Alexis wasn't sure how to react to the situation.

Evelyn, seemingly oblivious to the tension, chirped, “Mommy doesn't eat onions either? But she always tells me she eats everything!” Leonel glanced at Alexis with a natural curiosity. “Oh, does Mommy really eat everything?” He seemed to remember something, teasingly adding, “Yeah, she does!” His jest was apparent, and Alexis, perhaps a bit frustrated, bit into a lamb chop with more force than necessary.

Leonel couldn't help but chuckle lightly at the sight.

He hardly touched his own meal, his appetite seemingly absent. He instinctively reached for a cigarette but refrained, mindful of Evelyn's presence.

At 8 p.m., two servants arrived at the house, a necessary addition considering the responsibilities of both Leonel and Alexis, along with caring for Evelyn.

Chapter 2703 While Evelyn enjoyed her bath, Leonel also bathed the puppy, drying both afterwards.

He then dressed Evelyn in a onesie and carried her to the bedroom.

He decided it was best they all sleep together, given her young age.

Evelyn seemed perfectly at ease on the large bed with Leonel, as if he had always been there for her.

She wanted to sleep with the puppy as well, but Leonel was not keen on having three people and a dog in the bed.

After some persuasion, Evelyn agreed to place Ollie’s pink bed close by, where the puppy looked comfortably nestled.

Evelyn, visibly delighted, emitted warm breaths from her tiny nose.

Leonel held her, feeling her slight yet sturdy form.

As she snuggled into the blanket, he sat beside the bed, reading a fairy tale book to her.
