Leonel treated her with utmost care.
He began contacting colleagues and family members, adjusting his schedule to prioritize her.
“Chloe, let’s lighten my workload for the next two months… Yes, I need to be there for my wife.”
“Edwin, let’s move our meeting to a home session. Yes, you heard me.
Yes, Alexis is pregnant and needs me.”
“Marcus, remember the tonics you recommended? Could you get some more?
Yeah, for Alexis. She needs the nutrition.”
In every conversation, Leonel’s focus was clear: Alexis’ pregnancy was his priority.
Hearing Leonel’s repeated references to her pregnancy, Alexis rolled her eyes playfully, feigning annoyance. “You talk as if I’m the first woman ever to be pregnant. I’m not that fragile.”
Leonel leaned in close, their noses touching.
“But I’m the one who got you pregnant. If you’re not precious, then who is?”
Alexis couldn’t help but smile. “You do have a way with words.”
Leonel’s hand rested gently on her belly. “I have a feeling it’s going to be a girl.”
Alexis, too, harbored a fondness for girls and hoped for a daughter.
Her voice softened unintentionally. “Any ideas for a fitting name for our child?”

She then expressed her dissatisfaction. “Douglas doesn’t quite cut it.
It doesn’t resonate like my last name, Fowler.”
Leonel grinned. “Indeed, the Fowler name is exceptional. Douglas pales in comparison.”
Following his remark, both of them shared a spontaneous Laugh.
After a pause, Alexis inquired softly, “Is it true that we’re going to have a child?”
In truth, she wasn’t particularly fond of children.
Infants were incredibly fragile and posed a challenge in caregiving during their early stages.
Plus, they had a penchant for crying.
However, if it were the offspring of her and Leonel, she believed that no matter how boisterous, the child would be endearing.
