Waylen responded, âIf he dares to leave, Iâll break his legs!â
Leonel remained seated, clutching the passport.

âAntonia, please have the accountant assist me in organizing my assets in Acoiclya.

He further confirmed, âYes, Iâm planning to stay in Duefron to develop my career.

Downstairs, Edwin had just completed giving Alexis a massage and retired to his room.
Meanwhile, Laura slumbered on.
As a designer, she often operated on a reversed day-and-night schedule, making it challenging for her to rise early in the morning.

He gently pinched her playfully.
Laura awoke, her cheeks flushing red as she attempted to move his hand aside.
Edwin seized the opportunity to slip under the covers, taking her in a warm embrace.
Resting her head on his shoulder, Laura inquired, âDid Alexis return?â
âSheâs back,â Edwin replied.

Edwin kept teasing her.

Laura was eager with a strong desire to design her own wedding gown.
Edwin consented, albeit reluctantly, reluctant to see her toil so ardently.
