Alexis surmised the reason for his presence. She was not someone who easily let people off the hook.
“Are you here for Serenity?” she inquired.
“Darwin, if your love for her is so strong, why not consider remarrying?”
Darwin’s gaze was piercing.
He yearned to confess to Alexis that his feelings were directed at her and that he had, at one point, contemplated getting to know her better. Yet articulating these sentiments would prove embarrassing.
Attempting to preserve a composed demeanor, he stated, “I need a word with you!”
Alexis, tilting her head, responded with a smile, “The discussions I typically engage in revolve around divorce cases!”
Darwin frowned. “Alexis!”
“Individuals I’m not acquainted with usually address me as Miss Fowler!” Alexis retorted.
Darwin finally witnessed her unapproachable side-a cold and hardened demeanor. Yet he had also observed her gentle and coquettish nature, but always in the presence of Leonel.
He had known her for years.

Numerous occasions where they crossed paths etched in his memory, yet she remained oblivious to his existence.
Her heart was always saved for Leonel.
He had once stood up for her, sensing that Leonel had disappointed her, but now… He regarded her with the same disdain as Leonel.
Despite Serenity having nothing, they remained utterly unwilling to show even the slightest hint of mercy.
Darwin’s throat constricted. “Alexis, have you perpetually been this aloof? Is it the reason why Leonel parted ways with you? Have you contemplated the duration for which he can tolerate this?”
Tolerate?
Alexis chuckled. “Darwin, have I incited you in any way?”

“I’ve never vented my frustrations about my relationship with Leonel to anyone! If I had sought revenge, I believe Serenity wouldn’t have been able to complete her studies in Acoiclya. I possess myriad methods to retaliate against her, but I refrain from descending to that level. Isn’t what she’s experiencing a consequence of her own actions?”
Darwin’s lips compressed. Following a prolonged silence, he eventually disclosed, “Serenity is expecting. She claims the child will bear the last name Douglas!”
With sincerity, he added, “Alexis, they are anticipating a child. Can what Leonel feels for you truly be labeled as love?”
A conversation with Darwin was the last thing Alexis desired.
Her only desire was to retreat to the hotel room, ridding herself of the lingering scent of perfume.
Fixing her gaze on Darwin, she questioned, “If you believe the child belongs to Leonel, address him directly. Why involve me? I’m not married to Leonel. When resolving conflicts, it’s inappropriate to drag in third parties, don’t you think? Conversely, if I were Leonel’s wife, there would be no need to update you on Serenity’s position and circumstances, would there?”
