He immediately guessed what it was, so he didn’t bother to ask.

“Don’t you understand your own daughter yet?” he said to his wife with a smile.

“She doesn’t have to take on any new cases for now.

Just handle some light office matters.

I know that being busy will help you a lot.

So, don’t worry, sweetheart.

I support you.

Rena felt very helpless when she heard this.

Obviously, the father and daughter had ganged up against her!

“Thank you, Dad!” Alexis said happily to her father for his support.

“Don’t mention, my dear,” Waylen chuckled, rubbing his hands in satisfaction.

“It’s a good thing that everyone is focused on work.

In fact, I just sent Marcus and Melissa away.

But when it’s Christmas, you must all come back and have a lively family gathering.

It’s been a long time since we properly celebrated Christmas.

This is all about family, and we should indeed celebrate it properly.

Rena smiled and didn’t say anything about it.

When they got back to their bedroom, Waylen dropped his joking attitude and embraced his wife gently.

“You’ve been through a lot these days,” he said to her in a low voice.

“I know you might blame me for not caring for our daughter well enough, but Alexis has always been a strong-willed girl.

Keeping her locked up at home Like a patient is what would cause real harm to her.

Don’t worry.

Nothing will happen to her.

Work can actually help take things off of her mind.

Rena, there are some wounds that can only heal with time.

Rena didn’t say anything.

She just leaned against his shoulder.

A week later, Alexis felt better and resumed her normal life.

Since she was still quite weak, the driver had to pick her up to and from work.

She only worked six hours a day, so at the end of the day, she didn’t feel too tired at all.

During her free time, she would pick up the children and drop them off.

On Christmas Eve, Alexis had a business meeting with a client at a restaurant.

Since it was a cold winter evening, she wore a green dress and a long coat.

Her waist-length hair also added to her charming looks.

By the time she finished having dinner with the client, the partnership had been settled.

She stood up, put on her coat, and said goodbye to her new partner.

But as she stepped out of the restaurant, she felt the biting cold outside.

Thankfully, her car was parked right at the entrance, so she didn’t have to walk far.

The moment he saw her, her driver got out to open the door for her.

But as Alexis was about to get into the car, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

“Alexis!”

Hearing her name being called by such a familiar voice, Alexis immediately stopped in her tracks and turned around to see who it was.

Despite the intense wind, she could see that it was none other than Leonel.

Due to the limited presence of light, his face seemed to be enveloped in a dreamlike haze that looked ethereal and beautiful yet fragile.

When Alexis left Merblune, their parting had been abrupt.

There was no chance to even say goodbye to each other.

And now, in Duefron, they had unexpectedly crossed paths once again.

Leonel stared at Alexis with a longing expression.
