Chapter 3568
However, Alexis had no interest in his excuses.
She turned away, her hand on the doorknob, and muttered, “Save your stories for someone else.
They sicken me!”
Yet, Leonel couldn’t bear to see her leave.
He caught her wrist and urged in a soft plea, “Please, don’t move abroad.
”
Alexis remained silent and coldly pulled her hand away.
The following morning, the Fowler family gathered at the breakfast table.
Waylen, as usual, had his black coffee and two slices of toast.
Rena, pouring him a glass of milk, suggested gently, “Drinking so

much coffee could upset your stomach.
Maybe try some milk instead?”
Waylen dismissed her concern, sticking with his coffee.
After browsing the morning news, he mentioned to Rena, “We’ve got rats in the house.
Have the servants set some traps, especially in the backyard.
”
Rena looked puzzled.
“Rats, here? Why haven’t the servants mentioned this?”
Waylen scoffed.
“It’s true.

Alexis quietly ate her breakfast.

Waylen quickly responded, “No need for that.

You don’t have to handle everything alone.
We’re a family, aren’t we?”
Alexis gave a small smile at his words.
Evelyn, hearing this, sat up straight and quickly finished her meal.
Waylen watched her eat and memories of Alexis as a young girl filled his thoughts.
His heart warmed with nostalgia, and he gently patted Evelyn on the head.
The little girl bore a striking resemblance to Alexis.
In the days that followed, everything proceeded smoothly.
Leonel seemed to come to terms with Alexis taking the kids abroad.
He didn’t comment further, simply picking up Evelyn and Daniel and spending the weekend with them.
Despite their initial hesitance, the children didn’t show any resistance like before.
On one Friday afternoon.
Leonel returned to his office from a meeting.
He was reviewing a document concerning a newly registered firm overseas.
Indeed, he was planning to go abroad as well.
Since he couldn’t make Alexis stay, he decided to follow her abroad.
While Leonel was looking over a document, his phone rang.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
He hesitated for a moment before answering.
There was a brief silence on the line before someone uttered, “Leonel, I need to talk to you in person!”
