Leoneâs face wasnât looking great, but he didnât pry further.
Her words must have been hard for him to digest.
When he chose not to be with her, he shouldâve realized that someday she would move on.
Whether for love⦠Marriage, or just fleeting pleasure.
Leonelâs knuckles whitened as he abruptly stopped at a red Light, the tiresâ screeching sounds startling both of them.
In a subdued tone, he murmured, âSorry!â
Alexis remained quiet.
By sharing this with Leonel, she meant to emphasize that he shouldnât have any false hopes or expect her to remain chaste and without any man by her side, pining for him to change his mind.
What a joke!
She hadnât given up on herself.
Alexis was an ordinary woman with needs whoâd been involved with a man or two in the past.
There was even a famous celebrity who had pursued her and continued to do so.
But Alexis had grown weary of it all.
She didnât wish to conceal anything from Leonel, perhaps deep down hoping to sever all ties with him.
The traffic light at the intersection flickered intermittently.

Leonel retrieved a pack of cigarettes from the glove compartment, lit one, and reclined in his seat, puffing away.
Beside him sat Alexis, someone he had given up on but had frequently crossed his mind over the years.
However, it was evident that Alexis didnât think much about him anymore.
Leonel let out a self-deprecating Laugh.
A half-hour later, they arrived at the apartment building where Alexisâ client resided.
Alexis instructed Leonel to head back first.
He nodded, gesturing toward the building.
Alexis said, âAlright, Iâll try to come down as soon as possible.
â
The client was obviously just seeking for attention, and by the time everything was resolved, it was already past one in the morning.
Exhausted, Alexis got into the car, removed her coat, and sank back into her seat.
She then let out a deep sigh.
That woman had almost lost her life!
