Chapter 2751 While Alexis took a shower, Leonel stood beside Evelyn.

Leaning against the edge of the bed, Leonel gently traced his slender fingers over Evelyn's soft face. Simultaneously, he Googled various information about her illness on his phone.

Evelyn dreamt of her parents and Calvin.

Ollie Lounged in the lawn.

In the dream, Evelyn wore a smile.

Unable to resist, Leonel bent down to kiss Evelyn. When he looked up, he realized his love for their child was immeasurable.

Alexis emerged from the bathroom and caught sight of the endearing scene.

Approaching with a gentle demeanor, she said, “Go take a shower; it's late.” Leonel had contemplated stepping out for a quiet cigarette, but Alexis intervened, reminding him, “Didn't you mention we were preparing for pregnancy?” He complied and took a seat.

He drew her into his arms, fixing his gaze upon her. “What did you say?” Alexis hesitated, unable to repeat such words.

Though she attempted to stand, her body remained firmly held by him, rendering her immobile. Leonel leaned in close, his voice slightly hoarse against the back of her ear. “I've heard that intense intimacy increases the chances of pregnancy. So, next time... concentrate when we're together, okay?” (thanoss.com) Blushing, Alexis murmured, “Just go take a shower.” A gentle smile graced Leonel’s face-a rare sight in recent years.

This smile seemed to dissipate the surrounding heaviness, casting a glow of happiness upon him.

He tenderly scratched her face, and then trailed down to her neck, and further below...

The brightness of the light enveloped them.

Alexis, feeling a tinge of embarrassment, shifted uncomfortably.

In truth, Leonel found the situation somewhat arousing. However, sensing Alexis’ concern for Evelyn, he exercised restraint...

Since that night, their relationship had noticeably improved.

On Saturday, Waylen initiated the process of asking his family members in Duefron to head home. The villa was a hive of activity.

Evelyn had a strong fondness for her grandfather's residence, finding it an enjoyable retreat.

She was particularly attached to her cousin, Scott Evans, who, despite his perpetually serious expression, transformed into a big baby whenever in his mother's embrace.

Chapter 2752 Evelyn visited with Ollie. She had the intention to show off in front of Scott.

Leonel noted that Ollie was no ordinary companion.

And Evelyn believed it firmly.

The black Land Rover gracefully entered the villa.

Leonel emerged from the vehicle, opening the back door and lifting Evelyn out with care.

In her arms, Evelyn cradled Ollie.

Scott, wearing a serious expression, confronted his father, “How come we don't have a puppy at home?” Edwin, not particularly fond of dogs, recalled Laura's interactions with one back when she lived in her agent's house.

(thanoss.com) Edwin stood firm in his decision never to introduce a dog into their household for the rest of their Lives.

At 30, Edwin exuded maturity and charm.

He glanced at his son and let out a wry chuckle. “Once we have a dog, will your mother be tending to you or the dog? Consider it carefully. If we get a dog, you and the dog will have to share your mother’s attention.” After a brief contemplation, Scott eventually conceded.

In the end, his mother held a more important place in his heart compared to a dog.

Edwin, having successfully persuaded Scott, felt a sense of satisfaction. He cast a triumphant gaze at the couple and chuckled.

“I've been waiting for you for a long time.” Leonel affectionately patted Evelyn's shoulder, urging her to play with Scott.

Meanwhile, Leonel joined Alexis in the hall, where numerous people were present, including Marcus and Elva. Olivia had returned to Czanch and was not in attendance today.

Alexis greeted her parents, attempting to downplay the situation.

Waylen snorted disapprovingly. “Marriage is a significant event. Why didn’t you inform us about it? Who will adorn the wedding dress and jewelry your mother has meticulously prepared?” A pang of guilt hit Alexis.

She cleared her throat and replied, “Evelyn is all grown up now.

Having a wedding ceremony now doesn't seem appropriate.” Waylen, familiar with Alexis’ ways, sneered. “Ah, so you do acknowledge it's not appropriate.” Alexis cut to the chase, stating, “Neither Marcus nor Elva are married. Mom can focus on getting ready for their marriages.

Chapter 2753 Upon hearing this, Waylen redirected his attention to his other two children, urging, “Marcus, why haven't you found yourself a girlfriend yet? If you can't manage it yourself, well arrange blind dates for you” In a casual tone, Marcus responded, “Do I really need a blind date?” What was that? His words seemed to be implying something. Was he already with someone perhaps? For the time being, Waylen relented, shifting his gaze to Elva. Elva promptly exclaimed, “Dad, I'm still young” She had a point.

(thanoss.com) ‘s (thanoss.com) Waylen then turned his attention back to Alexis, asserting, “See, it's all your fault. You haven't set a good example for your younger siblings. They now all resist the idea of marriage.” Alexis chuckled. “Dad, that's not fair. Where do you think I learn this from?” Waylen was infuriated, and contemplated freezing Alexis’ bank account.

Leonel gently patted Alexis on the shoulder, advising, “Its a rare occasion for you to come back. Let's not argue.” Marcus casually flipped through a magazine, remarking, “This is how things usually work between them. Leonel, Id suggest not getting involved. My father actually thrives on it. He just doesn't feel well if he hasn't argued with Alexis.” With that, Marcus stood up and bid a serious goodbye.

“I apologize, but I have a golfing appointment. My secretary is waiting for me outside. Don't wait up.” Waylen expressed a slight dissatisfaction. “Can't you reschedule for another time? Today is supposed to be about family!” While adjusting his diamond cuff link, Marcus offered a faint smile and replied, “Today's appointment holds greater significance. I can't afford to miss it” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
