A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 3397

Leonel felt a twinge of disappointment.

“It won’t be that long.

Can’t you stay?”

“My back’s killing me,” she replied, rubbing her waist before ascending the stairs.

Once Alexis had disappeared upstairs, Waylen set up the chessboard and casually inquired, “Have you and Alexis been at odds lately?”

Leaning in, Leonel made a move and assured him, “Don’t worry.

We’re good!”

Bathed in the light, he looked quite dashing in his white shirt and black pants.

Waylen seemed satisfied with Leonel, yet he fretted over the couple’s compatibility.

Distracted, Leonel lost the game in under 20 minutes.

With a faint smile, he picked up the chess pieces and arranged them on the board.

“You’re still quite the player!”

Waylen’s gaze grew pensive.

After a moment, he chuckled, “Go find Alexis!”

Standing up, Leonel said, “Alright, I’ll take Alexis home first, and I’ll bring Evelyn and Daniel over for dinner on Saturday! It’s getting late.

You should go to bed.

”

Waylen nodded in agreement.

Upstairs, outside Alexis’ bedroom, Leonel paused.

After a brief hesitation, he softly knocked on the door.

“Alexis!”

No response came from within, so he pushed the door open.

The room was dimly lit, with a subtle fragrance lingering in the air.

Without turning on the light, he made his way to the bed.

Alexis lay sleeping, covered with a thin blanket, her back to the door, her phone slipping from her hand.

Leonel picked up the phone and glanced at it, his expression darkening.

After a moment, he returned it to the bedside table, its screen illuminating the room.

He gently tapped her shoulder.

“Alexis, it’s time to head home.

”

She stirred from her slumber…

Alexis woke up, still feeling sad because she had that same dream again.

In it, she brought back Calvin’s ashes from another country.

She dreamed the plane would never touch down.

Suddenly awake, she felt warm skin beside her and clung to it, pressing her face against it.

Leonel noticed the dampness on his arm.

Alexis had cried.

Though it was spring, the bedroom felt icy.
