A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 3771

Her voice was strained as she asked, “I thought we got rid of these last time?”

Leonel’s fingers tensed a little.

He understood that she had figured something out.

But driven by his pride, he replied in an even tone, “What does it matter to you?”

Alexis didn’t say anything.

She just slowly sat down next to him.

Leonel froze.

Then he heard Alexis say, “Leonel, can we give it another shot?”

There was silence in the bedroom.

Leonel couldn’t hear any sound.

But there was turmoil inside his heart.

Alexis had just told him that she wanted to give him another chance.

He screwed his eyes shut for a long time.

Every fiber in his being wanted to say yes and admit that he too wanted to be with her again; to assure her that he wouldn’t disappoint her this time; to promise her that he would love and cherish her with all his heart forever and ever.

But he just felt not worthy enough to be with her anymore.

His left leg was crippled.

He needed assistance even with the most basic things.

How would he be able to provide her with the means to live a normal life? He couldn’t help but feel that he didn’t have the right to ask her to start afresh with him.

Slowly, he opened his eyes again, and a mixture of emotions flashed through his heart.

Looking straight ahead, he spoke slowly and thoughtfully, “Is it because I saved you when that accident occurred? Come on, that’s in the past.

It shouldn’t matter right now.

What should matter is that we’ve divorced, moved on, and found new partners.

Just because you’ve finally realized my worth, you suddenly want to come back to be with me? Alexis, has it ever crossed your mind that I may not really miss the past?”

“Do you? Do you miss what we had in the past?” Alexis asked curiously.

Leonel responded with a scoff.

“Maybe a little,” he said with a shrug after a moment of silence.

“That’s mostly because we raised three kids together.

But if I am to be honest, there aren’t many lingering feelings.

I became crippled because of you.

It’s already hard enough not to hate you, so how could I still have romantic feelings for you? Hester is okay for me despite the fact that she’s no match for you in terms of looks, demeanor, or background.

But frankly, none of that matters.

What truly matters is the fact that she is docile and never argues with me.

I feel very comfortable with her.

”

As he spoke, his heart was aching badly.

Alexis listened quietly to him.

When he was done, they both remained silent for what seemed Like a long time.

“What if I don’t leave?” she suddenly asked.

“What if I insist on staying and taking care of you?”

Leonel clenched his fists when he heard this.

He stared at her for a moment with a sharp look in his eyes.

“Is that so?” he asked with a sneer.

The next second, without prior warning, he grabbed her and threw her roughly onto the bed.

Then he pinned her down with his weight.
