Maybe Evelyn took after her aunt Cecilia.

But it was just as well.

Leonel believed his daughter should be pampered as a princess.

Leonel wanted to have a boy so that he could take over the family business. That way, it didn't matter if Evelyn didn't work or get married; her younger brother could support her no matter what.

A servant knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Douglas, Mrs. Douglas asked me to tell you that dinner's ready."

Leonel nodded. “I'll go down as soon as I'm done here."

There was no sound outside. The servant must've acquiesced silently.

After Leonel organized the stuff, he washed his hands and headed downstairs.

Alexis and Evelyn were already sitting at the table, waiting for him.

As soon as he arrived, Evelyn pleaded, “Daddy, can we not go to the hospital tomorrow? Every time I go there, I get injections. My butt hurts!"

Leonel looked up at Alexis, one eyebrow raised.

Alexis was also helpless. Truth be told, it was usually Calvin who handled such situations, so now, even she didn't know how to coax Evelyn.

Speaking of Calvin, Alexis suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen him in a while.

Calvin had gone to Braseovell for treatment.

Alexis wondered whether she should visit him there before she got pregnant.

Naturally, she was aware that Leonel had reservations about it.

Leonel believed that Alexis and Calvin had a previous romantic connection. Initially, Alexis had chosen not to clarify this with Leonel, as she deemed it unnecessary. Back then, she actually hoped he would eventually move on, so believing she was involved with another man would actually make things easier for him. However, now that they were embarking on a significant period of living together, she felt it was crucial to provide an explanation.

Alexis thought she should bring it up with Leonel.

She figured he'd be happy if he understood everything and would even be willing to go to Braseovell with her to visit Calvin.

Thinking of this, Alexis made up her mind.
