Chapter 3850: Chapter 3851

Alexis neither confirmed nor denied his words.

However, Leonel already knew the answer.

He cradled her face, gently leaned in, and rested his forehead against hers… After a long moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice, “I won’t hurt you anymore.

I’ll take care of you from now on.

”

Alexis’ heart softened.

Despite the complexities and challenges they faced over the years, they had ended up together.

There were things she cherished but had to relinquish when confronted with conflicting priorities.

Nevertheless, she murmured, “How can you dare bring that up? Have you forgotten how I got pregnant with Cordelia?”

Leonel remained silent.

However, the mention of this inevitably conjured memories of their time in Geveland and Merblune, when he gave her the aphrodisiac to get going.

He wasn’t really proud of what he did to her.

Of course, he didn’t want to mention that episode ever again.

But Alexis gently inquired, “Where did you get that? It’s quite sweet.

”

With a trace of embarrassment on his face, Leonel coughed to mask it.

“I… I don’t remember! Let’s put it behind us, Alexis.

I was really horrible back then.

”

She reclined in her chair, squinting at him.

“It seems you know it too!”

Just as Leonel was about to reply, Alexis reached out and tenderly touched his face, saying softly, “I don’t blame you anymore.

Please don’t blame yourself either, okay?”

He held her hand and remained silent for a long while…

Alexis lightly tapped the back of Leonel’s hand and said, “Shouldn’t we go and change Cordelia’s name back? If we’re late, my dad will probably scold us again.

”

Leonel smiled warmly.

“Of course! Let’s go change her name back.

”

After they were done, Alexis planned to return to the hospital, but Leonel gently grasped her hand and said, “Let’s go somewhere else.

”

Alexis was taken aback.

In the clean and orderly city hall lobby, Leonel held her hand and whispered, “We agreed to get our marriage certificate, didn’t we? Alexis, let’s do this now.

”

Alexis didn’t mind getting married, but he seemed unusually eager.

Just as she was about to respond, Leonel retrieved a pair of platinum rings from his pocket, took her hand, and earnestly asked, “Should I kneel?”

It was truly unexpected.

Alexis glanced around and noticed passersby casting curious glances at them.

She gently urged Leonel.

“Just put it on quickly.

”

He chuckled softly.

“You’re even more impatient than I am!”
