A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

“Leonel, as a couple, we’ll eventually see each other naked.

We can’t always hide in the dark.

Plus, don’t you want to see my body?”

Of course, he did.

Leonel lowered his gaze, gently grasping her black hair as he pulled her into his embrace.

“But it’s not exactly attractive.

Alexis, I’m afraid it’ll frighten you.

”

“It’s not unattractive, Leonel.

I won’t let you feel inferior because of this.

”

His trousers slid down, revealing his injured left leg completely.

It wasn’t whole; it seemed pieced together.

Each patch of skin was different, and none were smooth.

“I told you, Alexis, it’s horrible.

”

He attempted to shield her gaze, but she persisted.

She asked him to sit by the tub.

Dipping a towel in water, she gently wiped his body.

Each stroke was delicate, her heart fluttering with concern for his comfort.

“It hasn’t hurt in a long time, Alexis.

It’s okay,” he reassured softly, lowering his head.

Alexis bent down, pressing soft ki*ses to his scars.

Though unseen by Leonel, tears streamed down her face.

She quickly composed herself and continued wiping.

Later, as she attempted to remove his last covering, he stopped her.

“Alexis?”

Alexis silently released his hand and withdrew the covering.

She cleaned his body tenderly.

Leonel bowed his head, impressed by Alexis’ selfless care.

Alexis had always been tougher than him since childhood, and being a man, he instinctively desired to be stronger than her.

He appeared mistaken.

She wasn’t really what he envisioned, and she could display humility for love’s sake.

He couldn’t resist whispering softly, “Alexis.

”

“Yeah?” Alexis responded vaguely before enveloping him in her embrace.

“Leonel, it’s alright not to be okay sometimes.

You’re strong.

You’re Leonel.

But when you’re not quite that strong, you’re still Leonel.

”

She held him close.

After a while, he murmured, “Alexis, fetch me a pair of pants, will you?”
