Alexis, usually unfazed, found Leonelâs remarks excessive.
She laughed coldly.
âSo, because you exerted some effort, you think I owe you something? You donât strike me as the type to hold such conservative views, Mr.
Douglas!â
Leonelâs response was low and serious.
âWhat if I do want you to take responsibility?â
Alexis retorted sharply, âThen youâll have to get in line! And then just wait patiently!â
Her biting words seemed to stir something in him.

Understanding her sarcasm, he drove them back to the villa without further comment.
Upon arriving, Alexis stepped out of the car promptly.
The villa was silent, the clock striking 10 pm.
As she reached the second floor, Leonel suddenly scooped her up and carried her into his bedroom.
Caught off guard by his boldness, especially in their own home, Alexis stood her ground as the door shut behind them.
She prepared to offer a quick solution, âLeonel, if youâre really this horny, I can help you with my-ââ
But he wouldnât let her finish.
Leonel pressed her against the door, his head lowered close to hers.
He sought her lips but kept the ki*s gentle, not deepening it.
His voice was rough yet sincere as he spoke against her lips.
âAlexis, letâs have a proper talk.
