Chapter 3751
As a result, Alexis felt that since Leonel could be so casual about their past, there was no need for her to cling to it anymore.
In fact, she shouldn’t care anymore whether or not Leonel wanted to marry someone else or to permanently sever ties with her.
So, with a faint smile on her face, she shook Hester’s hand and said, “Congratulations! From now on, we’re family.
”
Hester tried to offer a smile when she heard this.
The whole situation still felt a bit awkward to her.
But Leonel wrapped his arm around Hester’s slender waist and began to chat with Alexis a bit more.
Alexis didn’t pay much attention to the conversation because of how distracted she was.
By the time she turned around and left, she felt as if her heart was broken into pieces.
It never crossed her mind that after causing her so much pain, he would go ahead to be with another girl and even introduce her as his girlfriend.

It made her feel that all the wonderful emotions and sweet moments they had together were nothing to him.
She never thought for a moment that Leonel would treat her like this.
She was very sad, but she made sure that her back remained straight as she left his sight and walked out of his life.
She never thought their story would end in such a manner.
Nevertheless, she was determined to put it behind her and not dwell on it anymore.
Meanwhile, Leonel silently watched her as she walked away.
They had grown up together, so he knew her very well.
He knew what she would be thinking right now.
She was most likely thinking about how heartless he was… how everything they once shared meant nothing to him.
Even when she had left his sight, Leonel still stood there, staring.
Before he knew it, his hand had crushed the glass he was holding and the red liquid stained his hand.
He didn’t know whether it was wine or blood on his hand.
Hester quickly rushed to his aid, partly out of concern and etiquette but also partly out of the intention of being ingratiating.
“Mr.
Douglas, let me bandage it for you,” she offered.
She was a shrewd woman.
Though she knew that Leonel was using her for his benefit by parading her as his girlfriend, she noticed that there was no one around him to take care of him.
Despite the fact that he had a little disability, he was still very wealthy and handsome.
Hester had worked hard for more than ten years and could only afford to live in a small house in Duefron.
She knew that if she could get married to Leonel, she would be able to make it into the upper class.
With this in mind, as she helped Leonel with his injury, she intentionally pressed her soft body against him.
Her goal was to seduce Leonel.
But Leonel pushed her away roughly, and she staggered back, almost falling to the ground.
