Chapter 2635: Chapter 2635

His proposal, delivered in such a casual manner, felt more like their usual banter than a life-changing question.

The moment Alexis stirred, Leonel caught her hand, his voice rough with emotion.

“Alexis, I mean it.

”

Alexis looked into his eyes, struggling for words.

Finally, she managed to speak.

“Isn’t this too sudden?”

Leonel’s smile was gentle.

“You’re already wearing the engagement ring.

And if you desire something more romantic, I can make that happen.

But first, you have to say yes.

”

“And if I don’t agree, you won’t make the arrangements, right?”

Alexis playfully challenged him.

A light chuckle escaped him, tinged with delight.

Alexis found herself momentarily speechless.

Leonel then asked, “Are you surprised? Come on, what’s your answer?”

Alexis’ response came with less hesitation.

“Alright, go ahead and arrange it.

”

“I’m actually going to do it,” Leonel affirmed.

Alexis truly cared for Leonel and had long harbored thoughts of marrying him.

His proposal might have been abrupt, but she didn’t hesitate to accept.

She did, however, feel a bit caught off guard.

Leonel’s smile broadened.

“I’ve been stuck with you since kindergarten.

Who’s really at a disadvantage here?”

Alexis let out a playful snort.

“But you’re the one who left halfway through.

”

“I’m right here.

Alexis, do you really need to bring up that old skeleton in my closet again?” Leonel asked with a hint of playfulness.

“Absolutely! I’ll remember it for as long as I live,” Alexis replied, her tone laced with mock seriousness.

Their banter, though framed as a complaint, carried a comfortable and sweet undercurrent.

Soon, the news of their upcoming marriage reached their families.

Mark and Cecilia made a special trip from Czanch to discuss the wedding date and various arrangements with Waylen and Rena.

While Leonel engaged in discussions with them, Alexis found herself with a bit more freedom to relax.

The wedding date was fixed for June.

As June swiftly approached, Alexis expressed her bewilderment.

“Why are we having the wedding so soon? It’s going to be so hot, and wearing a wedding dress in this heat will be uncomfortable.

”

Initially, Alexis suspected it was Waylen’s suggestion.

However, Rena soon clarified, “It was actually Leonel’s idea.

He said he wanted to marry you as soon as possible.

”
