A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2741 The thought of disappointing Evelyn weighed heavily on her.

Eventually, Alexis, gritting her teeth, voiced, “I'll shower on my own.” Leonel's amused laughter reached her ears. Having labeled him as insufferable, she endured the lingering discomfort and made her way to the bathroom. Subsequent to shutting the bathroom door, Leonel's gaze intensified.

Extracting a cigarette from the bedside table, he leisurely smoked, reflecting on the recent intimate encounter.

(thanoss.com) Recalling their prior encounters in the apartment, he speculated Alexis’ passiveness might be linked to his mention of Calvin, making her hesitant to fully engage.

Three years had elapsed, and so much had changed.

Leonel felt that he should have let go of the thought of Calvin's existence.

If Alexis wanted to take care of Calvin, then let it be so. Calvin was destined to remain out of their lives.

Leonel chuckled at his own expense, recognizing his self-awareness.

This magnanimity, he understood, was merely a facade.

With newfound clarity, his mood improved considerably. Upon Alexis... he had the he emergence, extinguished cigarette. Approaching her, embraced her, inhaling the fragrance behind her ear and remarking, “You smell delightful.” Alexis grinned. “Aren't we sharing the same body wash?” Clearly, Leonel had a different intention.

He pushed her to the wall, his hand sliding into her robe. His voice, husky, demanded, “One more time." Exhausted, Alexis couldn't muster the energy to respond.

Leaning against his shoulder, Alexis resisted in silence. Yet Leonel proceeded slowly. This time, an unusual tenderness marked his actions, navigating her body with familiarity.

Alexis experienced pleasure, and in her arousal, Leonel leaned down, engaging in a deep, passionate kiss.

Bathed in the light, two bodies intertwined...

The following morning, Alexis awoke in the spacious bed in the master bedroom. Neither Evelyn nor Leonel occupied the space beside her.

Alexis glanced at the clock, realizing it was already ten.

Sunlight poured in.

She groaned, “Indulging in too much pleasure is a nightmare.” Recalling the morning meeting at the law firm, she pondered her excuse.

Now faced with the dilemma of being late, should she inform her secretary that she overslept due to an intimate encounter the previous night?]

Chapter 2742 The secretary called at that moment, sweetly inquiring, “Miss Fowler, the meeting's in ten. Have you made it to the law firm?” Frustrated, Alexis shut her eyes.

Damn it! She had no desire to get up.

Clutching the phone, she cleared her throat and said, “Postpone the meeting to tomorrow at ten.” Worried, the secretary queried, “Miss Fowler, are you unwell?” Alexis vaguely responded, “Yeah, not feeling great. Let's discuss it tomorrow.” Regarding the celebration party that night, Alexis likely wouldn't attend.

Leonel could be quite a jerk.

Tossing the phone away, Alexis clutched the pillow, eager to resume sleeping. She assumed Leonel took Evelyn to the company, leaving her alone at home.

A bit of extra sleep wouldn't hurt.

The bedroom door creaked open gently, revealing the entrance of Leonel and Evelyn. Alexis feigned sleep, keeping up the pretense as they entered the room.

(thanoss.com) Bending over the bed, Evelyn whispered, “Why hasn't Mommy woken up?” After a pause, Leonel explained, “She's tired.” Evelyn looked up, blinking her large eyes. “Why's Mommy tired? Was it the plane yesterday?” Leonel coughed. “Yeah. Jet lag from the flight” Evelyn nodded and rested her head on the bed's edge, studying Alexis.

Eventually, she couldn't resist reaching out to touch her.

Alexis resisted the urge to react.

Observing her eyelashes tremble, Leonel figured she was awake, prompting a gentle smile.

At that moment, a servant arrived, announcing that she had prepared some snacks and would take Evelyn downstairs for a treat.

Leonel instructed Evelyn to head downstairs first.

Chapter 2743 Eventually, only the two remained in the room, and Alexis, on the bed, continued to feign slumber.

Leonel recalled that summer when Alexis had her first menstrual period, hiding away like an ostrich as she was doing now. She displayed a timid and adorable demeanor back then.

Unable toresist, Leonel leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Did you enjoy last night?" Unable to keep up the act, Alexis opened her eyes.

Leonel, resting against the headboard, caressed her face, whispering, “You reached climax multiple times last night.” Despite Alexis resilience, she found it challenging to endure such a dialogue.

Sitting upright, she tousled her hair. “Whats the time? I need to head to the law firm?” She preferred attending a meeting at the law firm over subjecting herself to his vulgar remarks.

However, Leonel preempted her.

Casually, he remarked, “Your secretary called a moment ago. I informed her that you're fatigued and won't be attending work today.

Its surprising, isn't it? Didn't she contact you?" A brief pause ensued.

Leonel found Alexis endearing in her moments of embarrassment.

Lying back on the bed, she gazed at the ceiling and stated matter-of-factly, “I require a minimum of a week to recuperate.” (thanoss.com) ‘s (thanoss.com) “Why do I sense a decline in your physical vigor?” “I'm of the opinion that you're even more insufferable than before.” Leonel remained calm, gazing at her in silence.

Alexis, turning her back to him, uttered, “I'm going back to sleep” He tenderly tugged at her slender shoulder, resting his chin upon it as he whispered softly, “Evelyn really likes the sheep dolls you brought back. She's been playing with them all morning. And I also appreciate the person you brought back. I spent the entire night with her, but it still wasn't enough. What's your suggestion for the predicament?” Alexis lifted the quilt to conceal her face, finding his audacity amusing.
