Chapter 2797: Chapter 2797

Sure enough, Leonel stared at her the whole time.

But he saw right through Alexis.

Judging from her movements, he could guess what was on her mind, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.

For a moment, he even had the illusion that the old Alexis had come back…

Before drifting into sleep, Alexis pondered that she might not be able to elude this night.

Although typically tender, she was also eager to conceive quickly.

Consequently, once Evelyn had fallen asleep, Alexis took the initiative to quietly shift behind Leonel and tenderly embrace him.

A puzzled utterance escaped Leonel’s lips as his gaze remained fixed on his daughter’s countenance, yet his hands explored Alexis’ form.

Silently enduring, Alexis made no objection to the intimate contact.

She simply wished he wouldn’t keep her up too late tonight.

After a brief interaction, Leonel ceased his tactile exploration of Alexis.

Resting her face against his shoulder and back, Alexis inquired softly, “Is something amiss? Are you weary?”

“Yes, I’m a bit fatigued,” responded Leonel.

Attempting to shift away to the opposite side of the bed, Alexis found her hand ensnared by Leonel’s grasp.

In a gravelly tone, Leonel inquired, “Where do you think you’re headed?”

“Rest.

We need to wake up early tomorrow and head to the hospital,”

Alexis responded.

Refusing to release her, Leonel retained his grip on her fingers, allowing her to clasp his waist.

In the enveloping darkness, his voice took on an unusually gentle timbre.

“Engage in conversation with me for a bit.

”

“What could we possibly discuss at this late hour?” Alexis queried.

Shifting position, Leonel gazed at her with unmistakable clarity in his eyes.

They enjoyed a rare calmness, with no fights or annoyances.

A sweet child, their shared offspring, was happily with them.

Leonel gently caressed Alexis’ face as he engaged in casual conversation.

“I’ve heard that you’ve picked up a peculiar habit lately.

You enjoy bringing Ollie to bed.

”

Alexis offered an explanation.

“He came to bed on his own accord.

”

Leonel’s gaze lingered on Alexis for a brief moment before a gentle smile graced his features.

Affirming, he concurred, “Indeed.

He came to bed on his own and expressed a desire to sleep beside you.

And guess what? So do 1!”

Continuing his conversation, Leonel rolled over, drawing closer and pressing himself against her.
