Glancing at her screen, she noticed a new contact request on WhatsApp.
Instantly, she figured out who it was.
With a smirk, Alexis thought about Ryanâs overemotional behavior.
She chose to dismiss the request without a second thought.
Leonel inquired in a calm tone, âWho is that? A man or a woman?â
Alexis didnât see the need to discuss someone so trivial.
She responded nonchalantly, âJust someone of no significance.
â
Leonel was smart enough to make an educated guess about the identity of the person.
He let out a scornful laugh.
They remained seated for a bit longer.
Once Evelyn was done with her meal, they settled the bill and left.
Just as they reached the entrance, Rossâ car pulled up.
âRoss!â
Evelyn dashed towards Ross, who lifted her up and exclaimed, âYour grandpa has been missing you back at home.
â
Ross had a grandson himself.
His grandson was nowhere near as sweet as Evelyn.
Ross happily settled Evelyn into a small seat in the car.
Since Evelyn joined their family, every Limousine owned by the Fowlers had been equipped with a child seat.
Waylen had instructed Ross to alternate between different cars daily.
With over ten cars at home, Waylen wanted Evelyn to experience rides in each one.
Rossâ laughter was so hearty that his wrinkles seemed to fade.
His love for Evelyn was immense.
As he settled into the car, he realized he hadnât opened the door for Alexis.
Quickly, he stepped out and apologized, âMiss Fowler, Iâm really sorry.
â
Alexis playfully retorted, âRoss, youâve forgotten all about me.
â
Ross laughed innocently.
âI just have a soft spot for children.
â
Alexis hoped Leonel would join her in the car and suggested that Ross give him a lift.
However, Leonel declined with a wave of his hand.
âIâll stay for a smoke.
You go ahead.
Iâll come to pick you and Evelyn up later tonight.
â
Alexis nodded.
As Ross accelerated away, Leonel lit a cigarette, watching the car vanish from view.
He took his time finishing the cigarette, and then strolled back to the restaurant.
He chose a seat and sat down.
