A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Inside, she found a white T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Go Daniel.

”

Along with the shirt was a note from Noreen stating, “Mr.

Douglas also has one, which was requested by Daniel.

”

Leaning back in her leather chair, Alexis read the note with a smile spreading across her face.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Alexis donned the white T-shirt underneath her coat and drove to Daniel’s school.

The event took place indoors in a gym.

Despite the winter chill, the atmosphere was warm enough for parents to comfortably wear T-shirts.

Leonel had already arrived, sporting the same white T-shirt bearing the words “Go Daniel.

” Though traditionally seen as unapproachable due to his years in the business world, he seemed to shed years when wearing the simple shirt, appearing much younger, perhaps in his early thirties, and undeniably handsome.

As Leonel sat on the floor, his gaze lingered on Alexis, a subtle intensity flickering in his eyes.

Alexis approached and settled beside him.

“You Look good,” she remarked.

At the same time, Leonel replied, “It suits you well.

”

Their synchronized comments elicited laughter between them, tinged with a hint of nostalgia.

“There’s still a vivid memory of our school days, and before we knew it, the kids grew up so quickly,”

Leonel reminisced, a touch of longing evident in his voice.

Meeting his gaze, Alexis countered, “You’re still as good-looking as ever.

Many of the mothers here are eyeing you.

”

Without hesitation, Leonel responded, “I’d prefer they didn’t.

”

There’s only one person in the world that I truly want, and that’s enough for me.

He secretly thought.

Following a prolonged silence, Alexis spoke softly.

“Leonel, didn’t you declare it was over? What’s this? Do you have some regrets now?”

He remained silent but regarded her with profound eyes.

Just as the atmosphere between them turned intimate, Daniel dashed over and settled between them.

“The competition is about to start,” he announced anxiously, his concern evident for Leonel’s well-being, fearing he might tire himself out or get hurt.

Leonel affectionately tousled Daniel’s hair.

“A little exercise won’t bother me.

Your mother and I will ensure you claim first prize.

”

Leonel’s confidence stemmed from years spent with Alexis.

They had competed together in numerous three-legged races, developing an unspoken synergy.

Daniel nodded earnestly, his determination fueled by deeper motivations.

His classmates’ taunts about his parents’ divorce, leaving him and Evelyn without a father figure, weighed heavily on him.

There had been times when Evelyn shed tears over these hurtful remarks, but she never dared to confide in her mother about them.

So this time, Daniel felt immense joy seeing his parents together.

As expected, the competition proved to be a breeze for Alexis and Leonel.

Despite any limitations from his leg, they effortlessly secured the first-place position.

With flushed cheeks, Daniel ascended the stage to claim the prize.

Rarely had he been so jubilant.

Just as Daniel was about to receive the trophy, a brash voice called out accusingly, “They must have cheated! Daniel’s dad is crippled.

How could they win?”

“Yeah, they must’ve cheated!”

The child’s parents were visibly shaken and hastily covered his mouth to stifle any further outbursts, but the words had already reached the ears of over a hundred attending parents.

Silence fell over the crowd, with no one daring to utter a word.

They were incredulous that someone would dare to so openly label Leonel, worth billions, as crippled.

Before anyone could intervene, Daniel lunged at the brat, landing a solid kick to his ribs.

Tears welled in Daniel’s eyes as he warned, “Say one more word, and I’ll make you regret it.

”

The scene was in chaos.

The brat’s parent dared not retaliate, merely pulling his son away.

Daniel, still seething, longed to retaliate.

Stepping in, Leonel restrained him, guiding him away from the altercation.

Leonel hugged Daniel tightly, offering him comfort as the boy cried in his arms, feeling dejected and upset.

Daniel kept saying sorry to Leonel, knowing how much pride his father had.

How could Leonel handle people calling him names like “cripple”?

Clinging to Daniel, Leonel held him close…

Once Daniel’s tears subsided, Leonel pressed a tender ki*s to his son’s head, whispering softly, “It’s alright, Danny.

Stop crying, alright?”

Daniel continued to sob.

“They said things to Evelyn too.

They were so mean, and she cried once.

”

Leonel stiffened, his concern growing.

Beside him, Alexis was gently rubbing Daniel’s back; and her fingers trembled slightly at the revelation.
