A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

He played it cool.

He knew Alexis wouldnt probe James. Even if she sensed something, she refused to be the jealous type. More importantly, she didnt love him anymore.

Just the thought of his strained relationship with Alexis made Leonel a little sad.

True to form, Alexis didnt push further. She simply turned away, silent.

Leonel wrapped his arms around her slender frame and asked softly, Are you mad at me? Then, after a beat, he added, You know Im always faithful, right? In the darkness, Alexis responded casually, Thats enough. Im tired.

table. A vase at the center was filled with blue, dewy roses. They were of arare variety and were especially freighted from abroad, all because Alexis liked them.

Upon hearing the servants greet Alexis, he raised his eyes and said softly, Come and have breakfast. We have to pick up Evelyn and Daniel later.

Alexis walked over and sat down.
