A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 3712

He turned to the servant, saying, “Step out for a second.

I need to have a chat with Alexis.

”

The servant left in a hurry.

As soon as she left, Leonel gently shut the bedroom door.

Approaching Alexis, he embraced her from behind, resting his face on her slender shoulder, eyeing the baby in the crib.

Softly, he asked, “What’s on your mind?”

Alexis hugged herself, caught in his arms.

After a long while, she murmured, “I believe you need a kid by your side.

But if you aren’t keen and want to tie the knot again someday, Cordelia can stay with me.

”

“I am not looking to remarry.

I want my kids but I want their mother more, Alexis.

Let’s give it another shot, alright? One last time.

”

With that, he ki*sed her hair, his hand finding hers.

Alexis didn’t pull away.

That night, as she gazed at the maple trees beyond the French window, she couldn’t shake the feeling that both she and Leonel were stuck, unable to move on.

Could two broken souls heal each other by sticking together?

Cordelia was switched to formula that night.

Sensing the change she threw tantrums.

She even peed a bit and cried loudly on purpose.

Leonel had to check on her every hour.

By 3 a.

m.

, he’d already risen four times.

In the dimness, Cordelia kicked up a fuss once more.

Alexis stirred to tend to her but her hand was held back.

Leonel rose quietly, murmuring, “Stay put.

I’ll handle this.

”

Leonel pacified Cordelia and fixed her a bottle of formula.

This time, she might settle down.

Clutching the bottle, she savored the milk.

He gently squeezed her chubby cheeks.

Back in bed, exhaustion washed over him.

Aware that Alexis was still awake, he turned to her.

Slipping his hand under the covers, he gently asked, “Are your b@@bs bothering you?”

“A bit.

”

Being a mom before, Alexis knew the drill.

She also sensed he was trying to break the silence and connect with her.

True to form, Leonel guided her hand to his body.

His voice rough, he muttered, “I’m uneasy.

Alexis, let’s give it a shot, yeah?”

Her body tensed slightly.

Interlacing their fingers, he didn’t rush, pulling her close and ki*sing her tenderly first.

He aimed to show her love, make her comfortable, and revel in the moment.
