Edwin, sporting a gentle smile, calmly remarked, âWhichever way you Like!â
Alexis remained silent, propping herself on the sofa, engrossed in watching the cartoon with Laura.
After a while, Leonel glanced up at her.
Alexis didnât return his gaze until a servant interrupted, summoning them for dinner.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was a message from a client.
A woman in the midst of a divorce crisis contemplated self-harm in her bathtub, but still remembered to inform Alexis before doing the act.

Alexis was visibly irritated, feeling a surge of frustration.
No one wanted to venture out in the cold.
But this time, she might have to.
She grabbed her coat, announcing, âMom, Dad, I have something urgent to attend to.
I might not be back tonight!â
Waylen immediately objected, âGoing out in this cold weather?â
Alexis nodded and replied, âItâs a matter of life and death.
I have to go!â
Leonel, already seated at the dining table, stood up decisively.
âIâll drive you there!â
Alexis was changing shoes when Leonel offered assistance.

Leonel persisted, âIâll just drop you off and leave.

With the icy ground outside and his concern about Alexis driving alone, Waylen suggested, âLet Leonel take you.
Just come back early after work and avoid wandering around.
You know how you get when youâve had a few drinks.
â
Alexis didnât appreciate the comment, waving it off.
âCan we not talk about this? Weâre all adults here.
â
Waylen retorted, âIâm your father!â
Quickly, Alexis leaned over and ki*sed his cheek.
âI love you too!â
She also pecked Lauraâs cheek, leaving her a bit overwhelmed by the sudden affection.
âStay here for a few more days.
Keep my Mom company,â she said.
