Lifting her head, Alexis locked eyes with Serenity.
Dismissingly, Alexis retorted, âHave you not had your fill of men? Is my company suddenly appealing to you?â
Serenity sneered.
âI truly donât understand what Leonel sees in you.
Perhaps heâll regret it soon, or could he resist a deception?â
Despite the insinuations, Alexis remained composed.
Serenity, with a colder smile, continued, âAlexis, maybe youâre not aware that the man calling you honey has no intention of having a baby with you.
He underwent a vasectomy.
This implies that even if you marry, having a child is not on the cards for you, and my child is set to be his only heir.
â
Unfazed by the tangled web of relationships, Alexis remained indifferent.
The revelation left her stunned.
Leonel⦠had undergone a vasectomy.
Questions swirled in Alexisâ mind.
Why had Leonel undergone a vasectomy? And why was he reluctant to share the prospect of parenthood with her?
A realization then dawned on Alexis.
Leonelâs fear that something untoward might befall her, coupled with the possibility of pregnancy, could be the driving force behind his decision.
Despite her disappointment, Alexis, resilient in spirit, chose not to become the subject of Serenityâs amusement.
She nonchalantly declared, âThatâs a matter between us.
â
Disbelieving, Serenity pressed further, âIs it really just between the two of you? If so, why was he hesitant to share this with you?â
Alexis chose silence.
Sensing Alexisâ distress, Serenity
closed the gap and spoke in hushed tones.
âIâve been with him before.
I believe I understand him more than you do.
Do you genuinely believe heâs Leading a content life in the Fowlersâ residence? If so, why did he depart that year? What level of security have you provided him now? Leonel and I share the same nature.
Weâre the perfect match.
â
Alexis, adopting an indifferent tone, remarked, âIt appears you not only conceive children but also harbor suspicions.
â
Alexis instructed to escort the guest out, stating, âI presume thatâs what you wanted to convey.
Farewell and good riddance.
â
Observing Alexisâ countenance, Serenity sought to discern her emotional state.
Sensing Serenityâs probing, Alexis, determined to maintain composure, casually dismissed her, stating, âYou should leave now.
â
The secretary intervened, approaching to escort Serenity out.
Following Serenityâs departure, Alexis sank onto the sofa with a sense of dejection, tossing the cue stick aside.
The considerate secretary offered, âMiss Fowler, would you like a cup of coffee?â
Gesturing dismissively, Alexis reclined on the sofa.
