Chapter 3697
Alexis gradually softened, feeling more at ease with Leonel’s presence as long as he refrained from making
advances.
Sometimes, she entertained the thought that if she hadn't seen the video clip, she might have been able to
forget about the affair between Anika and Leonel.
But in reality, there were no “ifs.
As tpassed, Evelyn and Daniel appeared to be content with their current lives.
After school, they would eagerly return home, drop their schoolbags, and rush upstairs to see little Cordelia.
Occasionally, when the baby girl was awake, she would wiggle her limbs and offer a smile to Evelyn and Daniel.
However, most of the time, little Cordelia was peacefully asleep.
Her face looked tender as she lay in her pink crib, sleeping soundly.
Her peaceful slumber indicated her contentment.
Despite her concerns for Waylen’s condition, Alexis was still weak from giving birth to the baby girl and couldn't

Most of the time, it was Leonel who took the two kids to visit Waylen.
Whenever Leonel prepared something for Waylen in the kitchen, the aroma of the soup would waft through the
house, even reaching Alexis in her room.
One day, as Leonel busied himself in the kitchen preparing delicacies, the servant entered with a smile,

By then, the baby girl will be stronger, and Mr.
Fowler will also be pleased when he’s discharged from the hospital.
It will contribute to his full recovery.

Douglas cares deeply about you.
While he may have made mistakes in the past, he’s changed now.
For the sake of the three children, perhaps...”
In fact, the servant had overstepped her boundaries.

Instead, she simply lowered her gaze and uttered, “You don’t know the whole story.

Even if things between them didn’t work out, they should still treat each other with respect like family.
But his affair with Anika had ruined everything they had built together.
There was no way to mend what was broken.
As soon as Alexis finished speaking, the door was pushed open by Leonel.
The atmosphere in the room shifted immediately.
