Female NovelChapter 2352 “Have you slept with him?” Alexis remained silent.
The truth was, they hadn't. To her, Calvin was more than just someone she cared for. She needed him in a way that was different from his need for her.
Their relationship was unusual, not defined by typical norms.
She harbored hopes of Calvin leading a normal life, wishing he would marry and have children. She thought at least one of them deserved happiness.
Her voice was gentle yet firm as she suggested, “You should leave.” Leonel’s gaze shifted between her and Calvin, who was now sleeping peacefully on her bed. After a long, strained silence, he managed to utter, “You're just going to let him sleep in your bed?” Calvin, nestled against Alexis's arm, was oblivious to the world.
Alexis carefully covered him with a quilt, ensuring he was comfortable.
She then changed into her Loungewear and freshened up. In the kitchen, she started making something simple and light, a task she wasn't particularly skilled at but could manage. As the pot simmered, she made a discreet phone call to Calvin's agent.
“He's asleep at my place. Cancel all his appointments for today. Yes, I'l Look after him.” Tossing her phone onto the sofa, she felt a sense of finality.
Leonel, still lingering in the room, knew it was time for him to leave. He realized he couldn't compete with someone who needed Alexis’ care, someone who held a more significant place in her heart than he ever did.
Calvin was special to her, while he had become nothing more than a means to satisfy fleeting desires.
As he stepped out and closed the door behind him, a bitter chuckle escaped his Lips.
The love he had once easily forsaken now seemed as unattainable as the stars in the sky.
Alexis hadn't been playing hard-to-get or toyed with his emotions.
She had genuinely moved on. The tender bond they once shared had dissipated, leaving nothing but clarity in its wake.
Returning to his villa, Leonel was drawn by an impulse to a particular bedroom.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
It was Alexis’ childhood room, adorned in pink like a fairytale princess’ chamber.
The white bed was familiar, with two pillows-one that had been hers, and one his.
Sitting down slowly, he ran his fingers over the bedsheet, Lost in memories of days long gone.
Having just returned from overseas, Marcus appeared at the door.
He took in the scene-Leonel in Alexis’ old room. Edwin had shared some details about Leonel and Alexis with him, but Marcus knew even more than Edwin.
