However, the movers had already been compensated by Alexis and hesitated to accept Leonel’s money.

“Sorry, sir, we can’t do that.

Miss Fowler instructed that these items remain here.

If they’re not to your liking, feel free to dispose of them once we’ve left.

Please, just sign here so we can report back to Miss Fowler.

Frustrated, Leonel realized Alexis had played her hand well.

He didn’t waste time arguing with the workers and signed without another word.

After they left, he dialed Alexis’ number, but there was no answer.

Over the past year, Leonel had grown softer.

But now, he was truly infuriated.

He called Alexis repeatedly until she finally picked up.

“What’s up?”

What’s up?!

Leonel glanced at the luggage and asked in a controlled tone, “Why did you send your things to my place? I thought I made myself clear yesterday.

I don’t want your sympathy, nor do I need you to pay me back.

It’s over between us.

From now on, we’re strangers! Come and take your things, Alexis.

Alexis was silent for a moment, and then chuckled, “Not gonna happen! Leonel, if you don’t want to see those things, just throw them out.

“You think I won’t?”

“Of course not.

You’re braver than I thought! Go ahead!”

With that, Alexis hung up, leaving a buzzing sound from the phone.

Staring at his phone, Leonel felt like cursing.

Frustrated, he threw the phone onto the sofa and shouted at the luggage, and then to a servant.

“Throw all of these out!”

Nova stuttered in response, “But these belong to Miss Fowler.

If we throw them out, she might… might get upset.

Upset?

Alexis had the audacity to challenge him like this.

Why should he care about her feelings now?

Resolved that he would never let her move in, Leonel declared coldly, “Throw this garbage out! Now!”

Nova, not daring to disobey, quickly organized the other servants to move the Luggage out.

Leonel continued, “Put them out in the yard!”

Obediently, she complied with his command.

However, her nerves got the best of her, and she stumbled, causing a bag to fall and spill its contents across the floor.

It was all baby items.

Pink diapers, a milk bottle, and a pacifier lay scattered among a variety of baby toys—

ALL of them were colored pink and dainty… all clearly belonged to little Cordelia.

At the sight of these items, Leonel froze.
