NovelOnlineChapter 2465 Exhausted and content, they lay together on the spacious bed, too tired to move a muscle.
Leonel said after a while, “Should | help you to the shower?” Alexis turned her back to him and clutched the sheets.
“Shower? No way! I'm completely spent! Leonel, are you even human?” His endurance was extraordinary! He always begged her to torment him and by the end, transformed into something wild.
With a soft chuckle, Leonel brushed his lips against her shoulder.
“I'll go freshen up then.” After his shower, Leonel tended to the marks on his face. Alexis had made them look too gruesome, as if he had been domestically abused for a long time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFeeling wide awake now, he stood in his high-rise apartment and poured himself a glass of red wine which he took his time to enjoy.
He thought of the person he desired who was now in his bedroom.
He'd left her behind yet he couldn't forget her over the years. He sensed Alexis’ wavering now and chose not to rush her.
In matters of the heart, mutual consensus was always important.
Right then, a phone call interrupted his thoughts. It was Jayden Gibson, his financial advisor from Acoiclya, informing him that the massive 20 billion dollars fund was ready for investment.
Leonel responded calmly, “Hold off on any investments. | have another plan for that money.” Jayden protested, seeing a lucrative chance, “This is a great opportunity! We could double it if we're lucky.” Leonel replied with a slight smile, “I have a more important use for it. Even more crucial than making money.” Jayden, on the other Line, couldn't grasp Leonel’s intentions.
After ending the call, Leonel thought that if Alexis wished for Edwin's success, then he would support it too. He longed to see the joy on Alexis’ face! When Alexis woke up in the morning, she was wearing one of Leonel’s black shirts.
Beside her on the table was a check for 20 billion dollars.
She gazed at it in disbelief for a moment before taking it with her.
As expected, Leonel was in the kitchen.
He was preparing a lavish breakfast feast with a spread of mouth-watering dishes.
Alexis wrapped her arms around him from behind.

Continuing with breakfast preparations, he replied, “This money was actually borrowed for Edwin. But if you prefer to think of it as an overnight fee, that's fine too. Though, we might need to rename it a bride price! If you really charge this much, my net worth would only afford me a handful of nights with you” Alexis deliberately challenged him.
She teased, “Isn't that a good investment though? You seemed to quite enjoy it last night, Mr. Douglas.” Finally turning to her, Leonel responded Lightly, “Watch out, or | might just wear you out again!” Alexis, aware of his stamina, decided not to tease him further.
She became serious and asked, “Why not give the money directly to Edwin? Why pass it through me?” Leonel paused for a moment.
“He probably hates me. He might refuse it if it comes directly from me.” Although Leonel didn't say it, Alexis could guess the underlying reason.
A brief silence settled between them.
Then, Leonel said softly, “Alexis, let's build a life together. We could start a family and have children. If you're not keen on childbirth, that's okay too. Edwin and Marcus could have more kids, and you'd have the joy of playing with them. We'll both work, and during holidays, we could take the kids out. If we have a daughter, we can dress her up and you can teach her piano, and I'll handle the boys’ activities.” Alexis remained silent. But she didn’t release her hold on his waist either.
After a moment, Leonel added, “Okay?”
