SWNOVELS Chapter 3680
Marcus wanted to argue but, seeing Melissa so calm, he stayed quiet.
He squeezed her hand.
“I got it.
”
As they talked, Alexis and Leonel approached.
After Alexis had the baby, she had been drained.
When she approached, Leonel had held her, looking all cozy.
Marcus had felt a pang.
He should’ve seen what Leonel was after.
Marcus’ eyes were watery but he remembered his wife’s words.
“Hey, Dad’s good.
Thanks, Leonel.
You can ask for anything.
Even a piece of Fowler Group, no sweat.
Just don’t mess with my sister,” Marcus said tensely.
Melissa gripped Marcus’ arm, fretting.
Leonel paused, eyeing Alexis.
Then he turned to Melissa, “Do you mind taking Alexis to Dad first? I have something to chat with Marcus.
”
Melissa hesitated, worried.
Glaring at Leonel, Marcus told her, “Take her in.
”
As Alexis started to speak, Marcus cut in, “Go see Dad.
He was asking about you two as soon as he came to.
”
Leonel’s expression shifted at that.
Marcus did not miss that.
Once Alexis and Melissa left, Marcus shrugged off his jacket.
He stepped up to Leonel, grabbing his collar.
“Dad mentions you the moment he wakes but what about you? We need your blood to save him, yet you threaten a woman you hurt deeply,” he snapped.
“Don’t you remember how Dad saved your butt with blood when you were a kid? Don’t you remember his lessons?”
Leonel knew it all.
Without Waylen, he wouldn’t even be here.
But what could he do?
He was a jerk.
He was thankful for Waylen but he also still wanted Alexis.
This was his only shot.
Pushing Marcus off, fixing his clothes, Leonel smirked, “Do you want to brawl? Schedule it.
A hospital’s no place for that, after all.
And about Alexis, don’t sweat it.
Our deal’s sixty days.
If she bails, I get the kids and there will be no visits for her.
”
Marcus knew Leonel was pushing his buttons in an attempt to provoke him.
But he couldn’t hold back.
“Screw you.
”
Leonel smirked.
“Fight or I’ll go see Dad.
You said he mentioned me, right?”
