After school, they would eagerly return home, drop their schoolbags, and rush upstairs to see little Cordelia. Occasionally, when the baby girl was awake, she would wiggle her limbs and offer a smile to Evelyn and Daniel. However, most of the time, little Cordelia was peacefully asleep.

Her face looked tender as she lay in her pink crib, sleeping soundly.

Her peaceful slumber indicated her contentment.

Despite her concerns for Waylen's condition, Alexis was still weak from giving birth to the baby girl and couldn't venture out and visit her father often. Most of the time, it was Leonel who took the two kids to visit Waylen. Whenever Leonel prepared something for Waylen in the kitchen, the aroma of the soup would waft through the house, even reaching Alexis in her room.

One day, as Leonel busied himself in the kitchen preparing delicacies, the servant entered with a smile, remarking, "The entire house is filled with the aroma! Mr. Douglas is stewing soup in the kitchen. He plans to send some to Mr. Fowler later. I must say, Mr. Douglas treats Mr. Fowler very well."

Hearing this, Alexis smiled faintly.

The servant placed a bowl of chicken soup on the table and arranged a cushion on the chair for Alexis. As she sat down to enjoy the soup, the servant continued, “Furthermore, Mr. Douglas mentioned that we won't hold a party to celebrate Miss Cordelia's birth until you've fully recovered from the delivery. By then, the baby girl will be stronger, and Mr. Fowler will also be pleased when he's discharged from the hospital. It will contribute to his full recovery."

Stunned by the servant's seemingly rehearsed words, Alexis couldn't help but ask, "Are those your own thoughts, or perhaps Leonel instructed you to say so?”

The servant grew uneasy at her question and fell into silence.

After a moment, she cleared her throat, appearing embarrassed, and said, “Please don't be angry with me. But I truly believe that Mr. Douglas cares deeply about you. While he may have made mistakes in the past, he's changed now. For the sake of the three children, perhaps..."

In fact, the servant had overstepped her boundaries.

But Alexis chose not to admonish her. Instead, she simply lowered her gaze and uttered, “You don't know the whole story.”

Leonel and she had been together since they were kids. Even if things between them didn't work out, they should still treat each other with respect like family.

But his affair with Anika had ruined everything they had built together.

There was no way to mend what was broken.

As soon as Alexis finished speaking, the door was pushed open by Leonel.

The atmosphere in the room shifted immediately.

Sensing the need for privacy, Alexis dismissed the servant, who hastily retreated, understanding there was a conversation to be had.

After that, Alexis glanced down at the bowl in front of her before speaking in a low voice.

"I heard that you're planning to throw a grand party for Cordelia."
