Chapter 2711 Upon hearing her question, Alexis blushed a little.

Perched on Leonel’s lap, Evelyn gazed around curiously.

The woman glanced at Evelyn, and then lowered her head to resume her tasks.

She commented as she typed their information into the computer, “Your daughter is adorable.” Leonel turned to Alexis, and then addressed the clerk with a serious tone, “We're expecting our second child. We'd like to get official beforehand.” The clerk's demeanor had evidently softened.

She guided them through the forms, took photographs, and stamped the documents.

The procedures were soon completed.

At that moment, Leonel and Alexis officially became a married couple.

In their twenty-fifth year of knowing each other, the reality of finally becoming a legal couple left them somewhat astounded.

Alexis, in particular, was taken aback.

(thanoss.com) ‘s (thanoss.com) After a prolonged moment, Alexis lifted her head slightly, locking eyes with the depth of Leonel's gaze.

With a slightly hoarse voice, he casually suggested, “Let's head to the hospital, Mrs. Douglas.” The term “Mrs. Douglas” rolled off his tongue effortlessly and felt surprisingly good.

It seemed like a phrase he had mulled over countless times.

Alexis followed in his footsteps.

Despite her height, Alexis found herself looking up at him. She took in the sight of his neatly groomed hair, the crisp white shirt, and, of course, Evelyn nestled comfortably on his shoulder.

Evelyn fixed her gaze on Alexis, attempting to discern her emotions.

Alexis quickened her pace, tenderly patting Evelyn's head. In response, Evelyn's face eased, and she affectionately addressed Alexis as “mommy.” A subtle twitch touched Alexis nose.

Returning this time, Alexis sensed a transformation in Leonel. His emotions —a blend of affection and resentment-perplexed her. She found herself unable to predict Leonel’s next move.

This uncertainty unsettled her.

This departure from her usual self left Alexis disoriented. Clarity in matters of love and hate had been her hallmark.

Yet, when she looked at her daughter, a sense of relief washed over Alexis.

Chapter 2712 Upon reaching the hospital, Leonel entrusted Evelyn to Alexis as he headed into the operating room. He instructed, “Wait for me here. I won't be long." A faint smile graced Alexis’ lips.

At that moment, the doctor arrived-a familiar face to the Fowlers.

Spotting Alexis, he grinned reassuringly, “Don't worry, Alexis. It's a minor procedure that won't impact his fertility.” The doctor, fond of Evelyn, affectionately pinched her soft cheeks.

Evelyn greeted him obediently.

Lightening the mood, the doctor quipped, “Time to save your little siblings.” Alexis felt a sense of awkwardness.

Observing Alexis quietly, Leonel spoke softly after a while, sparing her from embarrassment. “I'm ready.” The doctor smiled and walked in, closing the door behind him.

The procedure was brief. Leonel rested briefly after emerging from the operating room, and by noon, they departed from the hospital.

(thanoss.com) Seated in the car, Leonel examined the medications in the bag.

Evelyn embraced him from behind, her eyes sparkling with concern as she asked, “Daddy, does it hurt?” Leonel tenderly caressed her head and reassured her, “It doesn't hurt.

Playfully, Evelyn blew gently on his cheek and teased, “Even if it hurts now, it won't once I blow on it.” Leonel smiled.

Over the past three years, his smiles had been infrequent, let alone appearing so genuine.

Yet Alexis harbored a sense of melancholy. It seemed Leonel was somehow constantly on edge around her, and his words always carried a tinge of mockery.

After contemplation, Alexis spoke up. “There's a court trial in the afternoon. I'll grab a taxi to the law firm." Leonel leisurely stowed away the medication.

“We've still got time. After lunch at my company, I'll arrange for the driver to take you there.

And do change your attire.

Wearing this dress, people might assume you've just got married today.

Alexis was left without words. Hadn't they indeed got married today?

Chapter 2713 Nonetheless, she refrained from objection, recognizing Leonel volatile nature-like a ticking bomb ready to detonate at any time.

She wished to avoid any confrontation with him.

She anticipated he would take her to his investment company.

Unexpectedly, the car halted at Exceed Group, a company she had once overseen.

As the car came to a stop, Alexis gazed up at the familiar building, lost in contemplation.

Leonel casually remarked, “A year after your departure, I took charge.

Naturally, you remain the majority shareholder of Exceed Group.

Essentially, I've been working on your behalf, generating income.” He delicately caressed the steering wheel and said, “Over the last two years, you received a 52-billion-dollar dividend from the Exceed Group. I worked my ass off to secure it for you. I earned the Lavish lifestyle you and Calvin enjoyed in Braseovell through countless sleepless nights” Alexis remained silent, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her demeanor brought to Leonel’s mind the moment she experienced her first menstrual period at the age of 16.

His heart softened.
