Chapter 3646 Alexis acknowledged the information and ended the call.
Leonel looked up, a moment of hesitation crossing his face.
"Your grandpa is unwell? I'll go see him.
" Alexis put her phone away.
Aware of her son nearby, she declined politely, "Grandpa wasn't feeling well but he's better now.
Still, it might not be a good idea to visit just yet.
Maybe sother time.
Leonel caught her meaning and nodded.

That afternoon, Rena arrived with Marcus, Melissa, and Elva.
Leonel greeted them briefly and then excused himself.
As he left the room, he leaned against the wall in the corridor, feeling a pang in his heart.
Leonel was filled with regrets.
He regretted using Anika to provoke Alexis, regretted thinking about ending his marriage, and even more so, regretted forcing Alexis to get pregnant later Despite his regrets, he realized he had lost Alexis the moment he allowed Anika to stay with him.
Alexis was such a proud woman.
How could she ever forgive a man who repeatedly messed up? Noticing someone's gaze, Leonel looked up to see Marcus watching him.
Straightening up, he asked in a subdued tone, "Are you here to hit me, or just to mock me?" Marcus, with a light expression, said firmly, "I guess there is somehow still hope in your heart.
" Leonel offered no denial.
Marcus sneered, stepped forward, gripped Leonel's neck, and then pinned him against the wall.
His voice was fierce as he demanded, "How dare you? How dare you still dream of having them back after all you've done? Leonel, don't you see your greed? Do you think only my sister suffers because of your actions? Do you have any idea how many cigarettes my father has smoked in the last year? He treated you like his own son, and this is how you repay him.
If you have any conscience, just walk away.
Leonel didn't resist.
Pressed against the wall, he simply looked down at Marcus and admitted quietly, “Yes, I still hold onto a sliver of hope.
Marcus, won't you even allowthat?" "Did you give my sister even a sliver of a chance when you did those things? She is such a proud woman.
Yet you humiliated her alongside another woman and allowed that woman to harm her and Evelyn.
You even forced my sister to get pregnant.

Don't you realize how risky that is for her? What if she has another child m with problems? What will shedd then? You madman, you claim to love her and want to live with her, but do you ever think about her feelings? No! You only think about yourself!" After saying this, Marcus suddenly released Leonel.
Marcus said, "Act like a gentleman, Leonel.
You're one of the big shots in Duefron now.
You could have any woman you desire.
Why do you insist on pretending to care for Alexis now? If you choose to move on you'll see how vast the world really is.
Having said this, Marcus straightened his clothes and Walked away.
Leonel stood still, reflecting on Marcus' words.
Then, with a faint smile, Leonel lowered his eyes.
Yes, the world was vast.
