Chapter 2557: Chapter 2557

Waylen still appeared strong, but the years were catching up.

During the holidays, he would always called him and asked if he was coming home.

Leonel lay down beside Waylen.

He had never slept in Waylen and Rena’s bed before.

He always felt like an outsider compared to the other Fowler children, so he believed this wasn’t his spot.

Now, lying there, he softly called out again, “Dad.

”

Waylen closed his eyes, a gentle smile on his face.

After a moment, he affectionately patted Leonel’s shoulder.

“Silly boy! Why are you getting all emotional now?”

Later, Leonel headed downstairs.

The servants were cleaning up the dinner table.

Rena approached him and asked, “How is Waylen doing?”

Leonel replied quietly, “Mom, you should get some rest.

”

Rena paused, but then smiled.

“Alright, I’ll head upstairs.

Your dad, he’s always a handful after he’s had a drink.

”

With that, she went up to the second floor.

Leonel stepped outside and smoked two cigarettes.

As he was about to go back in, he bumped into Marcus.

Marcus had just finished scolding Elva and wanted a cigarette too.

So, Leonel stayed with him.

When men smoke together, they didn’t often talk much.

The two remained silent for quite a while.

Finally, Marcus couldn’t hold back.

“So, you’ve won over mom and dad.

Is my sister your next target?”

Leonel, holding his cigarette gracefully, took his time blowing a smoke ring before replying casually, “Your sister? Alexis is my sister too!”

Marcus let out a mocking laugh.

“Not many people try to make a move on their own sisters!”

Leonel, unfazed, extinguished his cigarette with a laugh.

“I couldn’t help falling for her! And hey, Marcus, from now on, you can call me your brother-in-law, or just your brother, if you prefer.

”

He winked.

“I might even give you some spending money as a loving big brother.

”

Marcus just scoffed in response.

Leonel made his way back to his bedroom, lingering for a while before heading to the third floor, where Alexis’ room was located.

Elva was also there in Alexis’ room.

When she spotted Leonel, she slid off the bed, her cheeks a hint of pink.

“Leonel, are you sleeping here tonight?”
