That was how lust started to appear.
Leonel hadnât had any s@x during the years she was gone.
He barely even masturbated.
Of course, Alexis didnât know about this.
She just approached him and whispered to him, âWhat you contributed was just a few seconds.
Were you the one who went through the labor? Were you the one who made Evelyn her milk during the middle of the night? Were you the one who took her to the hospital whenever she had a fever?
It wasnât you, Leonel, was it?
Why do you even want custody of Evelyn? How could you even entertain that thought?â
For a moment, Leonel wanted to refute her accusations.
He wanted to say that if Alexis hadnât left, he wouldâve always been by her side.
However, he knew that even if he said that, she wouldnât Listen to him.
Her hate for him would overpower his reasoning.
Instead, he just smiled and said, âBecause Iâm her father.
Because Iâm shameless and despicable.
Because Iâm one of those shameless people who would only give a little to have it all.
Are you satisfied with this answer?â
Alexis stared at him, her eyes sharp as a knife.
Leonel took a step back and stubbed out his cigarette before saying, âYou should know that I can now deal with the Fowler family.
I donât care what curses you throw at me.
Youâre just going to call me a heartless and ungrateful man anyway.
Letâs go to court, Alexis.
I want Evelyn.
Of course, you can skip all that if you just bring her back to me.
â
As he said this, a sad thought came to his mind.
As long as she came back to him, he would let go of her past with Calvin.
Alexis lowered her eyes and smiled.
âOkay.
Letâs go to court.
â
After saying that, Alexis turned around and left.
After walking a few meters, Leonelâs tense voice rang from behind.
âDo you love him?â
His words had no effect on her.
She just kept walking until she was out of his sight.
Leonel stood still, the twilight looming behind him.
After a while, he looked up at the third floor.
There, Calvin was standing on the balcony, wearing a white shirt and light blue half-worn jeans.
Although he looked young and fresh, he had a mature air about him.
When he saw this, Leonelâs original firm belief was somewhat shaken.
In the past, Leonel thought that Alexis loved him so much that she would never fall in love with anyone else.
Even if she was with Calvin, he believed that she was only settling with him.
