LittleNovelChapter 1132 Secret Offerings
After saying that, he swiftly grabbed the small box and headed towards the entrance, slipping on his shoes and shrugging into his
coat. "Mr. Devon, let's get moving!"
"Alright," Mr. Devon agreed, falling into step behind him.
Mr. Devon, arranged by Colin, was designated to drive Lucy and Alexis.
Despite Lucy's driving skills, they were in Yatesville. Mr. Devon, Colin's trusted driver, knew the area well and felt secure for years.
Once they departed from the house, Alexis elegantly slipped into the car and settled in the back seat, closing his eyes for rest.
After a stretch of driving, the car cto a stop.
The door swung open, and Mr. Devon's deep voice sounded beside him. "Mr. Alexis, someone is waiting to speak with you."
Someone wants to speak with me?
Intrigued, Alexis furrowed his brow and glanced out of the car.
A stern-faced man's reflection glared back from the window of the roadside cafe.
This person...

Alexis squinted. "I have no interest in meeting him."
Even though Alexis wasn't there in person on Lucy's wedding day, he followed the events via the live inte broadcast.
If his memory served him right, this man was his biological father.
He appeared respectable, but there was something about him that Alexis found distinctly unlikable.
Mr. Devon hesitated briefly. "But, Mr. Alexis..."
"Very well..." Alexis sighed, considering his options. "l understand your dilemma."
"Here's the plan!" he exclaimed, his mind quickly formulating a solution.
With a sly smile, he passed the most miniature cupcakes from the box to Mr. Devon. "Take this to him and let him know that while
I'm aware of his desire to see me, I'm not particularly interested in hispany."
"Consider this cupcake a peace offering," he added, "so he'll think twice about botheringagain."
Mr. Devon hesitated momentarily but nodded in understanding and carried out Alexis' directive, delivering the cupcake as
instructed.
From his position in the car's back seat, young Alexis covertly observed as Mr. Devon presented the cupcake to the man, catching a
glimpse of fleeting disappointment on the man's face.
But Alexis’ observations didn't end there.
After Mr. Devon left, a woman in a purple top approached from a distance. She sat before the man, flashed a flirtatious smile, and
engaged in conversation. Then, to Alexis’ surprise, she reached for the cupcake he had sent and devoured it.
During the encounter, the man maintained a calm smile, refraining from intervening.
Alexis seethed angrily, unable to shake off his frustration even during art class—the image of the woman devouring the cupcake he
had sent relentlessly replayed in his mind.
"He's not even worthy of being my biological father..." By evening, Alexis was still consumed by these emotions, his deep turmoil
spilling into his dreams.
"My child."
Lucy, perched on the edge of the bed, book in hand, didn't quite catch his words. She sighed softly and pulled the blanket up to his
chin. "What dreams are haunting you now?"

Lucy ensured Alexis was tucked in, then let out a tired yawn and resumed reading.
'Waahh!"
Suddenly, Alexis's voice echoed through the quiet bedroom. "I secretly gave him Mom's cupcake, but he let that woman eat it."
"He doesn't deserve to be my biological father..."
This time, Lucy heard it distinctly.
Her grip tightened on the book's spine as she pursed her lips, contemplating momentarily.
Then, she hastily dressed and descended the stairs to knock on Mr. Devon's door.
"Who did Mr. Alexis meet this afternoon?" she demanded, her voice laced with urgency.
In a daze, Mr. Devon faced Lucy, the newly wedded, feeling a mixture of unfamiliarity and fear. He knew he had to be honest.
"This afternoon..."
"I need to know because Mr. Belcourt is Mr. Alexis' biological father..."
Lucy's breath caught in her throat.
As the implications sank in, Lucy's mind whirled. So, Lennon was still in Yatesville? Sleep eluded herpletely.
Agitated, she paced back and forth on the balcony, her attire rumpled in distress.
