Leonel treated her with utmost care.
He began contacting colleagues and family members, adjusting his schedule to prioritize her.
âChloe, letâs lighten my workload for the next two months⦠Yes, I need to be there for my wife.
â
âEdwin, letâs move our meeting to a home session.
Yes, you heard me.
Yes, Alexis is pregnant and needs me.
â
âMarcus, remember the tonics you recommended? Could you get some more?
Yeah, for Alexis.
She needs the nutrition.
â
In every conversation, Leonelâs focus was clear: Alexisâ pregnancy was his priority.
Hearing Leonelâs repeated references to her pregnancy, Alexis rolled her eyes playfully, feigning annoyance.
âYou talk as if Iâm the first woman ever to be pregnant.
Iâm not that fragile.
â
Leonel leaned in close, their noses touching.
âBut Iâm the one who got you pregnant.
If youâre not precious, then who is?â
Alexis couldnât help but smile.
âYou do have a way with words.
â
Leonelâs hand rested gently on her belly.
âI have a feeling itâs going to be a girl.
â
Alexis, too, harbored a fondness for girls and hoped for a daughter.
Her voice softened unintentionally.
âAny ideas for a fitting name for our child?â
âs BunnyBookery
She then expressed her dissatisfaction.
âDouglas doesnât quite cut it.
It doesnât resonate like my last name, Fowler.
â
Leonel grinned.
âIndeed, the Fowler name is exceptional.
Douglas pales in comparison.
â
Following his remark, both of them shared a spontaneous Laugh.
After a pause, Alexis inquired softly, âIs it true that weâre going to have a child?â
In truth, she wasnât particularly fond of children.
Infants were incredibly fragile and posed a challenge in caregiving during their early stages.
Plus, they had a penchant for crying.
However, if it were the offspring of her and Leonel, she believed that no matter how boisterous, the child would be endearing.
