A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2721 Yes, today was the day they had gotten married.

Leonel’s footsteps approached from behind. He came in, tossing his coat over a chair back before sitting opposite Alexis.

It was then that she noticed he was still wearing the same clothes from the morning, including the particularly elegant lapel pin. She rarely saw him dressed so formally- “If you wanted dinner with me, you could've called,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Would you have come home if I had called?” Leonel asked, his eyes downcast.

Alexis watched as he put away the velvet box, seemingly deciding not to give it to her.

She didn't inquire about it and began to eat in silence.

After she took a bite, Leonel abruptly took the plate away, his tone harsh. “They're cold. What if you have a stomach later?” Alexis remained quiet, the tension between them palpable.

Leonel headed to the kitchen to reheat the dishes. Returning with the warmed food, he poured himself a glass of red wine. Alexis frowned at the sight. “You just had surgery. You shouldn't be drinking” Instead of responding, Leonel pushed the glass towards her, hinting for her to drink. “It's our wedding night,” he said.

Alexis hesitantly picked up the glass, swirled the wine gently, and finally took a sip, drinking half of it.

Leonel watched her closely before asking, “Have you made things clear with him? How did he take it? Is he okay with you marrying me? Did he argue with you?” Putting down her glass, Alexis met Leonel's gaze and spoke up slowly.

“Leonel, listen to me. Just because we've got married doesn't mean I should endure your sarcasm all the time. Calvin is very important to me. If you can't understand that —" AngelasLibrary Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Leonel cut her off, his smile casual, almost dismissive.

“What are you worried about? Mrs. Douglas, relax. I'm not petty- I just wonder if Calvin can handle knowing you're with me, that the woman he cares about spends her nights in my bed. That at any moment, I can touch you, even be intimate with you. It must be maddening for him, right?” Alexis stood up abruptly, but Leonel's stern voice stopped her.

“Sit down. Did I say you could leave? As I mentioned, it is our wedding night.” Alexis couldn't help but frown.

Chapter 2722 His eyes were fixed at the glass-or perhaps he was looking at her though it.

His tone was very casual as he said, “Evelyn kept waiting for you for a long time and just fell asleep not long before your return.

She kept crying when I tried making her take her medicine and kept insisting on wanting you! Is this how you took care of her these past few years? AngelasLibrary You only take care of her when you're free, and then you leave her to the babysitter when you're not?” He actually knew that this wasn't the case. He knew how much Alexis had taken good care of Evelyn and how she loved her very much. She would've never come to him for Evelyn's case if that wasn't true.

However, whenever he remembered that she went to visit Calvin, he wanted to antagonize her.

At that point, he just wanted to expose his wound to her and let her feel the pain as well. That way, he could find out if she still had feelings for him.

After a brief silence between the two of them, Alexis said, “I'l go upstairs to see her.” Before she could get up, Leonel grabbed her hand. This time, his tone had somewhat softened, no longer sounding sarcastic.

“Let's eat first,” he suggested.

Alexis kept her hand on the edge of the table as she hesitated.

After a while, she gave in and sat down to eat.

As the two of them ate, the atmosphere around them remained silent.

Alexis couldn't help but think of the phrase “the last supper”, which made her smile. Leonel noticed this and stared at her for a long time.

There was an unfathomable look in his eyes.

It had a mixture of love, resentment, and the longing for all the years that had gone by.

For some reason, Alexis was willing to engage him in conversation this time around. While drinking her soup, she asked him, “How have you been these past few years?” She knew about the first year when he was flying around the world and looking for her. However, by the time she had given birth to Evelyn, he had already returned to the country.

By then, she had lost track of him and no one had mentioned him in front of her.

Alexis thought that he, like anyone else, needed emotional connection.

He had a colorful past, with so many different people coming and going.

Perhaps he also had someone by his side during that time.

Leonel’s gaze deepened as he leaned his back against the chair, carefully watching her. After a while, he uttered under his breath, “Do you really want to know?"

Chapter 2723 He knew what was on her mind, but he didn't want to be explicit about it.

Shortly after that, the conversation between the two of them died down. Once she was done with her meal, she headed upstairs. This time, Leonel no longer stopped her.

He had given all the servants a day off, Leaving only the three of them in the villa.

Alexis went into the master bedroom to check on Evelyn.

A small bedside lamp bathed the room with a soft light. Beside it was Evelyn, who was sleeping soundly.

Alexis could make out the outline of her body under the thin quilt.

Although she was curled up like an infant, her delicate face still looked adorable.

AngelasLibrary Alexis leaned over and kissed her.

Evelyn's skin felt warm against her Lips.

The kiss must've woken up Evelyn as she drowsily opened her eyes and looked at Alexis. “Mom,” she softly called her while reaching out her small hands for a hug.

Alexis obliged and pulled her in for an embrace as she caressed her little face.

“I like Daddy,” Evelyn muttered softly.

When Alexis heard this, she felt her heart twitch.

Before she could say something, Evelyn fell asleep again. Her fan-like eyelashes trembled slightly, her skin so smooth and soft.

As she slept, Alexis watched her quietly.

She would never get tired of looking at her own child.

It was around this time that Leonel entered the room. When he was greeted by this scene, he realized that this was the first time he had seen Alexis in such a tender state ever since they reunited.

There were no sharp exchanges nor sarcastic remarks, just a gentle gaze focused on the child they shared.

Leonel gently closed the door and made sure not to make a single sound.

Though the door and the bed were only a few meters apart, him getting there still felt like a lifetime.

He stopped behind her and looked at Evelyn.
