Chapter: 4338
Daniel gazed at Leonel's legs intently, as if he was about to make an important announcement... After a long pause, he said in a low but firm tone, "If that's the case, I'll look after my sisters for you."
Then he turned to little Cordelia and resumed playing with her.
Leonel's eyes filled with tears. He couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.
After all, the three children were so endearing.
Leonel joined the kids for lunch. After eating, they returned to their rooms for a nap. In the afternoon, Noreen took Evelyn and Daniel to their weekend activities, leaving Leonel to care for Little Cordelia alone at home.
The servant offered to help, but Leonel insisted on managing by himself.
As evening approached, the sky was adorned with beautiful clouds.
He received a call from the office about something important and went to the study for the discussion. Little Cordelia sat on the carpet, playing by herself in the bedroom. Before heading to the study to take the call, Leonel had given her a few toys to keep her busy.
As a car pulled into the yard, Leonel was so engrossed in his phone call that he didn't even notice. Footsteps echoed from the stairwell, growing louder by the second.
Alexis rushed back home because Korbyn's condition had suddenly worsened.
She had no time to think about anything else and went straight to the room.
In the bedroom, Cordelia was surrounded by toys and photographs strewn around her. At first, Alexis didn't notice, but then she took a closer look at the pictures and was shocked.
The photos were from her recent trips abroad, capturing every place she had visited, including squares, parks, and shopping malls.
These were all pictures of her!
Cordelia, still too young to understand, continued to play, oblivious to the significance of what was happening, while Alexis stood there, stunned by her discovery. Her eyes wide, she examined the photos one by one.
Suddenly, the sound of a wheelchair broke the silence.
At that moment, Leonel was taken aback by Alexis' presence. "Why did you come back all of—"
He stopped mid-sentence when he noticed the photos in Alexis’ hands.
The room fell silent.
After a long pause, Alexis uttered softly, “Leonel, do you remember what you told me when we decided to end things?"
