In contrast, he himself appeared so abhorrent and mercenary.

This was the first time that Leonel felt his confidence rocked.

After staring for a long time, he opened the door and got into the car. Then, he twisted the key in the ignition and drove away.

Meanwhile, Alexis was headed upstairs.

The moment Calvin heard her footsteps, he turned around to see her.

“Everything is going well," Alexis told him. “All I need is to find the right opportunity to be alone with him."

Calvin pursed his lips and kept quiet. There was no man in this situation who didn't feel sad.

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable talking about this, Alexis said no more.

She went back to the bedroom, where she saw Evelyn holding the puppy in her arms.

Evelyn seemed to like her new pet very much.

Leonel didn't want to go to court with Alexis immediately. After all, he knew that the custody of a child under the age of three was usually given to the mother. Thus, he had to wait and bide his time.

However, since the two of them were in Duefron, they would bump into each other occasionally.

From time to time, Alexis and Leonel would run into each other at the Fowlers' house. When Alexis returned to work at the law firm, she would sometimes run into Leonel on business occasions.

Leonel had a flock of women around him. From the looks of it, they all seemed to be popular female stars with high status. Maybe Leonel was doing this on purpose to piss Alexis off. Given his high profile, it was easy for him to do this.

However, his antics didn't have any effect on Alexis. She just ignored him and didn't pay him any attention.

One day, Alexis was reviewing documents at the law firm. During the past three years, she never asked about the business.

She naturally had a lot of things to deal with after she came back this time.

The secretary knocked on the door. "Miss Fowler, Mr. Douglas wants to see you."

Alexis stopped writing and looked up. "Leonel?"

The secretary was aware of their relationship. However, since Leonel was in a high position, she couldn't just blurt his name out loud.
