A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 3512

“I’m aware you’re eager to move on, but indulge me with this meal.

It’s customary to share a parting dinner, isn’t it? Despite the end of our marriage, we’ll remain entwined in ways most don’t understand.

How does that sit with you?”

Alexis paused, her mind reeling.

It was his birthday.

A sardonic smile played on Leonel’s lips.

“It indeed slipped your mind, then.

Perhaps only the date of Calvin’s passing holds your heart captive.

”

She pressed her lips together, a slight tension evident.

“Your birthday shouldn’t be overshadowed by such talk,” she replied quietly.

Meeting her gaze, he searched her eyes.

“Do I still matter to you?”

Alexis didn’t speak.

Instead, she took a bite of her vegetables, chewing thoughtfully before turning to the egg, leaving half the noodles untouched, which Leonel finished.

She was about to speak when he rose.

“I’ll check on the children,” he announced.

Alexis interjected, “We should discuss the agreement.

”

He paused, his silhouette framed by the staircase.

Turning back, he looked at her with clear

intensity.

“On my birthday, must we revisit the topic of divorce?”

Feeling cornered, Alexis conceded, “Very well.

Another day, then.

”

With that, Leonel ascended the stairs, his footsteps echoing towards the study.

Evelyn and Daniel were absorbed in their studies, lessons imparted by Alexis’ adept teaching.

Though aware of their father’s return, they chose to focus on their schoolwork first.

When Leonel entered, Evelyn’s face lit up.

She sprinted towards him with a joyous “Dad!”

Daniel, typically more guarded, allowed a small smile to break through.

Gathering Evelyn into his arms, Leonel acknowledged her dedication.

“I have to do my homework,” she said timidly.

He stroked her hair in a fatherly gesture and set her back on her feet.

Leonel then observed Daniel’s work.

The boy’s academic prowess surpassed that of his sister, not that it mattered to Leonel.

He believed a boy’s destiny lay in the family business, while a girl’s in being nurtured in soul and comfort.

Daniel, sensing his father’s presence, remained vigilant.

Leonel couldn’t help but see a reflection of himself in his son, yet he knew Daniel benefited from a more affluent Lineage.

As for Evelyn, she had wrapped up her tasks swiftly, though Leonel noted she hadn’t recited her lessons yet.

Opting not to press the matter, he chose instead to join her in reading a book for Leisure.

In the quiet glow, Daniel’s expression was grave.

Evelyn rested against Leonel, her eyes, large and tearful, never leaving his face.

Then, with a quiver in her voice, she asked, “Daddy, are you and Mommy going to divorce? Will Daniel and I have to choose who to live with?”
