A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 3480

The traffic light ahead turned red.

Marcus halted the car and turned to his wife.

“Do you recall a man named Calvin from years back? He’s like a brother to Alexis.

”

Leonel’s car sat parked at the Waston Group’s entrance.

He made no move to fetch Alexis upstairs or even contact her.

He remained seated in the car, waiting in silence.

Today, Waylen collected Evelyn and Daniel.

Leonel had sent the villa’s staff home, preparing a meal for them two.

His plan was to fetch Alexis and have a conversation.

Adjacent to Leonel’s car was Alexis’ car.

After approximately an hour of waiting, Alexis emerged from the Waston Group.

Accompanying her was Albert’s secretary.

They appeared to be engaging in a conversation, likely discussing topics pertinent to women.

Alexis wore a genuine smile.

Leonel found himself lost in thought.

Indeed, it had been a while since he had seen Alexis smile in such a genuine manner.

She always maintained her composure, especially in the presence of their children or during social gatherings.

To outsiders, she appeared to be the epitome of a devoted wife.

However, unbeknownst to most, their marriage was merely a facade.

Alexis no longer relied on Leonel.

True to his expectations, her smile faltered upon spotting him, though she swiftly composed herself.

Approaching him, she inquired softly, “What brings you here? You could have called me first.

”

Having been informed about the couple beforehand, Emma discreetly departed.

Fixing his gaze on his wife, Leonel extinguished his cigarette.

Then he inquired, “I have a surprise planned for my wife.

Should I have informed her first?”

Alexis refrained from arguing with Leonel in public.

She settled into the passenger seat, securing her seat belt, before posing a question.

“Daniel and Evelyn are staying with my parents.

Should we dine in with them or go out?”

Leonel remained silent for a moment, prompting Alexis to glance at him, only to find his expression inscrutable.

Eventually, he smiled and responded, “I’ve prepared a meal at home.

Let’s dine in together.

”

His words carried a weight that caused her to tense up slightly.

However, neither of them openly acknowledged the underlying truth.

Throughout the journey, silence prevailed between them, as if there were no topics worth discussing.

When the car stopped in the parking lot of the villa, Alexis unfastened her seat belt and attempted to exit the car.

But she was met with a clicking sound as Leonel locked the doors.

Unable to open her door, Alexis turned to him in confusion, questioning, “Why did you lock it?”

After a brief pause, Leonel reached for a pack of cigarettes from the console and extracted one.

However, realizing that all the doors and windows were shut, he abandoned the idea.

Instead, he fixed his gaze on the lush green Lawn before the car.
