NovelEnglishChapter 2745 With a daughter now in his life, his affection and care for her knew no bounds.
The morning unfolded with Leonel by Alexis’ side. On one hand, the joy of her return filled him; on the other, a realization dawned about the intensity of his actions the previous night. Despite this, he was more than willing to be there for her now.

Leonel entered, urging Alexis to rise for lunch. As she complied, scratching her tousled hair, she observed him in formal attire — an unusual choice for home.
“You're not heading to the office?” Glancing at his attire, Leonel grinned. “Is it a crime to wear something nice at home?” Alexis caught his implication.

The secretary inquired about the evening's celebration party. Alexis, meeting Leonel's gaze, responded with assurance, “I'l be there punctually.” Ending the call, she turned to Leonel. “I'l handle the driving myself.” “Are your legs bothering you?” Leonel grabbed the car keys. “Let me take the wheel.” Without waiting for Alexis’ response, he scooped up Evelyn in one arm and cradled Ollie in the other, strolling out.
