She drove solo and made her way back to the Fowler residence.
Upon parking, she noticed someone in the lot.
It was Leonel, She stepped out of the vehicle and shut the door.
âYou seem to be everywhere, Mr.
Douglas,â she remarked.
He leaned on the car door and idly kicked at the pebbles beneath his feet.
He then glanced up and asked, âWhatâs wrong? Am I not allowed to visit Dad and Mon? Theyâre also my parents now.
â
Alexis wasnât going to be easily fooled.
She tried to ignore Leonel and leave, but he blocked her path.
He approached slowly and bent close to her as he eyed the turtleneck she wore today.
With a laugh, Leonel commented, âReally, you have the courage to return? Did Calvin have any reaction to seeing you with all those love bites?â
âItâs none of your concern,â she retorted.
With a sneer, Alexis added, âBut youâre not as impressive as you used to be.
Whether itâs skill or physical stamina, youâve noticeably declined.
Whatâs the matter? With all your wealth, canât you afford some practice? Itâs unlike you to be so miserly.
â
Her words were cutting and she refused to back down.
Both amused and irritated, Leonel retorted, âDid you not enjoy last night? You wouldnât have had s@x with me four times if it wasnât pleasurable.
â
Alexis glared at him and headed towards the hall.
From behind, Leonelâs cold voice followed.
âYou canât even walk property.
â
In response, Alexis removed her high heels and hurled them at Leonel.
He effortlessly dodged them.
He was about to add more when Waylenâs voice echoed from the second floor, âWhatâs going on down there?â
As they all converged in the hall, Waylen sipped his tea and massaged his forehead.
âOne of you is a parent, the other a CEO of a major listed company, the second largest in this continent by market value.
But here you are, bickering like children.
Itâs disgraceful.
â
Waylen felt embarrassed, especially at the thought of facing anyone.
He felt particularly sorry for Calvin.
Marcus had returned with unsettling news for Waylen the previous night.
âDad, Alexis is still involved with Leonel.
They left the party early, together in the same car.
They even shared a ki*s before they got in.
They were probably headed to a hotel or their place.
â
With a cold tone, Marcus added, âPerhaps thereâll be another âhappy eventâ on the horizon again.
â
Again⦠The word âagainâ echoed bitterly in Waylenâs mind.
His anger was immense.
It wasnât that he opposed Alexis and Leonel together, but⦠What about Calvin? Waylen might not have been fond of entertainment industry folks, but Calvin had left that world behind and had proven himself a decent man.
