Being a successful businessman, he was naturally adept at social interactions.
The conversation with their teacher flowed smoothly.
After a few exchanges, the teacher looked at Alexis with a satisfied smile.
âI didnât expect you two to still be together.
Very nice, very loyal.
Alexis offered a faint smile.
Leonel glanced at her and informed the teacher, âYes! Weâre still together!â
Carlosâ wife was nearby, shopping for groceries, so he left in a hurry after providing his contact information.
Once the teacher departed, Leonel turned to Alexis, saying, âLetâs go and buy our groceries!â
Alexis remained silent.
Her demeanor grew even more subdued than before.
Leonel understood she was dwelling on the past.
He had gone abroad without completing his senior year of high school, leaving Alexis behind.
As Alexis selected groceries, her choices were limited to imported fruits.
For staples, it was merely eggs and pasta.
She bypassed everything else.
âYou canât survive on just these!â
Leonel gathered a substantial amount of meat and vegetables, placing them in the cart.

Alexis calmly remarked, âI mostly eat out! Plus, I have a week-long business trip starting the day after tomorrow.

âA business trip? What should I do without you then?â Leonel asked.
Alexis let out a slight snort.
âShould I start looking for a babysitter for you?â
Leonel gazed at her with depth.
âIâm joining you on the business trip!â
Alexis froze in her tracks, locking eyes with him.
âLeonel! Enough with the cheesy gestures! Do you genuinely believe that just because Mr.
Gibson assumed weâre still together, we truly are? How have you fared all these years? You know well in your heart.
If you harbored any remnants of feelings for our relationship, you wouldnât have brought your girlfriends home back then! What was your intention when you brought them home? Was it to prove to my dad that youâve become successful, or to demonstrate to me that you werenât exclusively mine, that Leonel Douglas could have anyone he desired after Leaving the Fowler family? Was it that you could lead whatever fantastic life you pleased?â
Leonelâs complexion turned pale.
Alexisâ tone softened a bit.
âAlright, discussing this is pointless!
Frankly, you shouldnât have come to my place, and I shouldnât have let you in either!â
