The mention of their children in the text seemed to work magic on him, stirring emotions deep within.
It had been a long while since he last saw Evelyn and Daniel.
He had kept his distance, not wanting the kids to discover his injury—that was why he never visited.
Yet, he understood he couldn't conceal his condition forever.
Leonel pondered to himself that perhaps it was tto reveal the truth.
Alexis was no longer his, a thought that weighed heavily on him.
Resigned, he picked up his phone and replied to her message.
After sending his response, he sat, lost in his thoughts.
After sending the message, Leonel began to feel regret.

Frankly, he was not sure what exactly he wanted.
He couldn't really say how things would evolve between himself and Alexis, but one thing that he just couldn't
ignore or treat as unimportant was the feelings of their kids.
He had been immersed in his own world for quite a long tnow.
As a result, he had pretty much ignored Evelyn and Daniel.
But he wasn’t blind to the fact that if the kids knew, sooner or later, Alexis would also discover the truth.
He couldn’t help but ask himself what she would do by then.
Nevertheless, it was tfor him to make a choice.
At that twhen he made the decision to let Alexis go, he had done just that.
Now, he couldn't bring himself to go back on his word and force her to be with him just because of his disability.

While he was thinking about all these, Noreen was watching him.
When she noticed that he was not in a good mood, she guessed it must be something to do with Alexis.
After the doctor had finished the treatment, Noreen escorted him off.
When she returned, Leonel said to her flatly, “Arrange a female companion for me.
Noreen was stunned! She thought Leonel had gone out of his mind.
As far as she was concerned, her boss was a very proud man, but he was currently also very insecure about his
injury.
What if things didn’t work out and he...
With this thought in mind, Noreen didn’t say anything for a long time.
“Noreen, did you hear what | said?” Leonel asked with a frown.
He paused for a moment.

Then he went on, “I need a woman from a decent background.
| don’t care what conditions she decides to set just as long as she agrees to stay withfor two years.
Noreen had worked for Leonel for many years now, so she knew him well enough to understand why he was
doing this.
She hesitated for a moment before asking, “Mr.
Douglas, are you looking for a woman who would pretend to be your girlfriend?”
But Leonel didn’t respond.
Instead, he leaned back on the sofa and began to think to himself that Alexis would probably have moved on
after two years.
By then, no matter what happened between the both of them, neither would feel hurt.
Meanwhile, at Fowler residence, Alexis stared for a long tat the message she had received from Leonel.
She couldn't help recall the biting words he had said to her earlier in the day.
If it was possible for Leonel to really put everything behind him, Alexis thought it would be good for both parties.
She was sure that Evelyn and Daniel would be thrilled if she told them about it tomorrow morning.
