Chapter 2645: Chapter 2645

“Why didn’t you attend that day?” Darwin inquired of Alexis.

Initially taken aback, Alexis struggled to formulate a response, but Darwin continued, “Ah, yes, you’re pregnant.

It wouldn’t have been suitable for you to attend such an event.

”

Alexis offered a smile as the waiter delivered Darwin’s coffee.

His trembling fingers grasped the cup, and he consumed half of it in a single gulp.

Alexis couldn’t help but notice the blood on his finger.

She gazed silently at his finger for a moment before shifting her gaze to his face.

Darwin lowered his head to inspect his finger.

Abruptly, a sinister smile crossed his face as he whispered, “I encountered Serenity before this.

”

Alexis remained silent.

Darwin’s tone remained nonchalant.

“I broke her legs.

She won’t trouble me anymore, and my world will be serene.

Oh! The baby in her womb is no more.

Are you pleased, Alexis? She won’t torment you with the baby anymore.

”

Darwin spoke in a detached manner, and Alexis listened with growing numbness.

A sudden wave of nausea swept over her.

The situation was repulsive.

Overwhelmed, Alexis rushed to the bathroom and leaned against the wall, expelling the juice she had consumed.

She didn’t recover until her stomach was empty.

Darwin came up behind her, offering a tissue.

“Six months into my marriage with Serenity, I briefly harbored affection for her and aspired to build a happy life together.

But ultimately, I drove my mother to her demise.

Alexis, can you empathize with what I’m going through?”

Alexis dabbed her lips and pivoted slowly to face Darwin.

Surveying him, she sensed an oddity but found it somehow understandable.

Such experiences could drive anyone to madness.

Darwin erupted in sudden laughter.

“Yet I can’t accept it.

Serenity always fancied Leonel.

Why did I end up losing my mother? Soon, you’ll have a joyous family with adorable children.

Meanwhile, I have nothing.

”

Regaining composure, Alexis inquired, “What brings you to me today, Darwin?”

Darwin lightly brushed her hair with his fingers.

Alexis evaded the touch.

Undeterred, Darwin smiled.

“Nothing specific.

I just wanted to have a conversation with you, Alexis.

If there’s anyone in the world who can understand my pain, I hope it’s you.

”
