Chapter 3546
Then Jessie spotted him and came over.
“Hey, Mr.
Douglas, small world!”
He managed a faint smile.
“Just Leonel.
You’re Melissa’s friend, after all.
”
Jessie smiled back, saying nothing.
Suddenly, it dawned on him – he and Alexis were on the verge of divorce.
He’d no longer be Marcus’ brother-in-law, so Melissa would likely keep her distance, and so would Elva…
And he’d no longer be Waylen’s son-in-law either.
The realization hit him hard but he plastered on a smile.
“Mr.
Douglas works too.
”
Feeling the tension, Jessie made an excuse and left with Jeslyn.
Resting her head on Jessie’s shoulder, Jeslyn kept gazing at Leonel.

He requested to speak with Alexis.
The servant hesitated, recognizing his voice.
In a soft tone, Leonel explained, “I need to talk to her about Evelyn and Daniel.
”
Moved, the servant promised to find Alexis.
Soon, Alexis picked up, greeting indifferently, “What’s up?”
Leonel fell silent for a moment, and then, in a hoarse voice, pleaded, “Can we give it another shot, Alexis?”
There was only the sound of her breath, no reply, no hang-up.
Eventually, she just ended the call.
Leonel sat in the car, feeling utterly hopeless.
The next evening, Leonel arrived at the party right on time, dressed sharp in black and white.
At Moore family’s villa, Albert hosted an extravagant buffet for his birthday.
To Leonel’s surprise, Alexis made a brief appearance before Leaving hastily.
He searched the villa but couldn’t find her.
Desperate for answers, he asked around.
Spotting Alexis driving off, he rushed to his car…
Just then, James arrived, puzzled.
“Why’d you leave so soon, Leonel?”
