Chapter 2699 His words were laden with blunt humiliation.
Alexis, facing him, swallowed hard, her response caught in her throat.
Leonel, his emotions reaching a boiling point, thrust a stack of documents before her. “Why didn't you tell me? Why choose to handle Evelyn's situation alone, abroad? You've kept the truth from me. You sought intimacy only to conceive... What if the next child has complications as well? What are we supposed to do then? Huh? Tell me, what should | do? What would happen to the baby?" He advanced toward her, his voice strained. “How long do you expect Calvin to be by your side?” The tension between them was palpable, both visibly shaken.
Alexis, usually so composed, found her strength waning in Leonel's presence.
She looked down, her voice barely above a whisper, “And how long will you be with me? You promised not to get involved with her, but the next second, you were each other's arms inside the car.

It dawned on Leonel that their issues were more than just the passage of time.
There were deep-seated cracks in their relationship, a fundamental lack of trust.
() Alexis no longer desired him in the way she once might have. Her need for a child from him didn't equate to love.
And while Leonel harbored love for her, it was tainted by resentment.
Lighting a cigarette with trembling fingers, the rising smoke created a hazy barrier between them. He asked, his voice hoarse, “What do we do now?” The necessity of having a child for Evelyn's sake loomed over them.
But Leonel was adamant; he didn't want their intimacy to be a mere means to an end.
Leonel's yearning for Alexis was palpable. He craved her return, regardless of her willingness.

Alexis remained silent, her gaze fixed on him as she awaited his decision.
She realized she had no leverage in this situation.
Leonel, aware of her predicament, responded coldly, “Pack your things and move in tonight. Additionally, I'l make an appointment to reverse the vasectomy to facilitate your pregnancy as soon as possible.” His tone left Alexis uncertain if he was being sarcastic.

Leonel, keenly observing her, said with a hint of sarcasm, “If you tell Evelyn I'm her biological father, she probably won't mind staying. Unless you're too attached to Calvin... Alexis, are you prepared to leave him?” Knowing Leonel's nature all too well, Alexis retorted with a sneer, “If | say | don't want to leave Calvin, would you accept him being part of our lives?” Her response visibly agitated Leonel.
In an impulsive move, he drew Alexis into his arms, their kiss passionate and intense.
Alexis yielded to his embrace, her resistance melting away.
Leonel's voice, rough with emotion, broke through the kiss. “You still think of him? Even going so far as mentioning his name in front of me?” Their kiss was fervent, leaving Alexis momentarily stunned.
Leonel seemed unable to restrain himself, his gaze fixated on her slightly dazed expression.
In a moment of raw honesty, he confessed, “I really need to fuck you,” his words laced with a mix of longing and frustration. His approach had changed since their reunion, marked by a raw urgency and a disregard for her feelings, driven by his own overpowering desire.
