Chapter 2811 With a soft smile, Alexis walked towards the restaurant's restroom.

As Alexis stepped out to wash her hands, she noticed someone else also coming out of the men's room. It was a waiter, which made her slightly uneasy. The high-end restaurant usually had separate facilities for staff and guests to maintain its exclusive atmosphere.

She remembered Leonel mentioning this, and it seemed the rules were indeed not as strict as she had thought these days.

Turning around, Alexis was not startled to see Ryan there.

Ryan's gaze held a certain intensity. Alexis, having been the object of admiration for many, both men and women, recognized that look immediately.

She finished washing her hands, turned off the golden tap, and looked at the young man in the mirror. “What's up?” Ryan appeared somewhat nervous.

After a brief pause, he managed to say, “Miss Fowler, feel free to call on me if you need anything.” The implication of his words struck Alexis oddly.

Eagles.

Alexis couldn't help but laugh, unsure whether to feel sorry for Marcus or the clueless Melissa.

She leisurely dried her hands and a smile played on her Lips.

“If I need anything? And what kind of ‘need’ are we talking about, Mr. Jenkins? Is this related to the restaurant, or is it something else?” Her voice was laced with a touch of playfulness.

Ryan's face turned red as he hurriedly clarified, “Miss Fowler, I'm not that sort of person.” After discarding the tissue, Alexis gave him one last amused glance, smiled, and walked away.

It was only after she left that Ryan began to wonder how Alexis knew his name. Had she inquired about him? Was she really interested in him? Despite feeling embarrassed, Ryan couldn't deny the allure of success.

He was well aware of the Fowler family’s wealth. Just a small part of it could mean he wouldn't have to work another day in his life.

Moreover, he rationalized that he didn't need to stay with Alexis forever.

When the moment was right, he imagined leaving her, marrying someone else, having children, and leading a normal life.

Ryan was eager not to let this opportunity slip away.

He slipped to the counter, found Alexis’ contact details from the computer there, and added her on WhatsApp.

Immediately Alexis got back to her seat, her phone signaled a notification.

Chapter 2812 Glancing at her screen, she noticed a new contact request on WhatsApp.

Instantly, she figured out who it was.

With a smirk, Alexis thought about Ryan's overemotional behavior.

She chose to dismiss the request without a second thought.

Leonel inquired in a calm tone, “Who is that? A man or a woman?” Alexis didn't see the need to discuss someone so trivial. She responded nonchalantly, “Just someone of no significance.” Leonel was smart enough to make an educated guess about the identity of the person.

He let out a scornful laugh.

They remained seated for a bit longer. Once Evelyn was done with her meal, they settled the bill and left.

Just as they reached the entrance, Ross’ car pulled up.

“Ross!” Evelyn dashed towards Ross, who lifted her up and exclaimed, “Your grandpa has been missing you back at home.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Ross had a grandson himself.

His grandson was nowhere near as sweet as Evelyn. Ross happily settled Evelyn into a small seat in the car. Since Evelyn joined their family, every Limousine owned by the Fowlers had been equipped with a child seat.

(Eagles) Waylen had instructed Ross to alternate between different cars daily.

With over ten cars at home, Waylen wanted Evelyn to experience rides in each one.

Ross’ laughter was so hearty that his wrinkles seemed to fade. His love for Evelyn was immense. As he settled into the car, he realized he hadn't opened the door for Alexis. Quickly, he stepped out and apologized, “Miss Fowler, I'm really sorry." Alexis playfully retorted, “Ross, you've forgotten all about me.” Ross laughed innocently. “I just have a soft spot for children.” Alexis hoped Leonel would join her in the car and suggested that Ross give him a lift. However, Leonel declined with a wave of his hand. “I'll stay for a smoke. You go ahead. I'll come to pick you and Evelyn up later tonight” Alexis nodded.

As Ross accelerated away, Leonel lit a cigarette, watching the car vanish from view.

He took his time finishing the cigarette, and then strolled back to the restaurant.

He chose a seat and sat down.

Chapter 2813 After the restaurant had emptied of its last customers, Leonel lit another cigarette. The observant manager noticed Leonel's somber mood and approached him with a friendly demeanor. “Mr.

Douglas, is there anything wrong we did?” Leonel continued smoking calmly.

In a low tone, he replied, “It's a personal matter.” After his response, he extinguished the cigarette and headed towards the restaurant's kitchen, which had a passage leading to the changing room.

True to Leonel’s expectations, Ryan was in the midst of changing.

As he buttoned up his shirt, Ryan's gaze frequently drifted to his phone, seemingly waiting for a response.

Leonel’ voice was detached as he remarked, “Waiting for a response from my wife, are you?” Ryan was stunned.

After a moment, he inquired softly, “Mr. Douglas, how did you figure it out? Did Miss Fowler mention it to you?” Leonel shut the door gently and leaned against it.
