She silently rooted for them.
Yet, Alexis quickly added, âBut it was just a temporary thing, so it doesnât really count! Heâs moving out in a few days.
â
Olivia couldnât accept this.
âThatâs not going to fly! You canât let the good stuff slip through your fingers and fall into the hands of outsiders.
Take it back, capital and all, just like Edwin did to get Laura back! Heâs like a bone-hungry dog, chewing on every last bit!â
Laura blushed a bit.
But she couldnât be upset with Olivia, whom she liked so much.

Alexis playfully patted Oliviaâs little hand.
âHaha! Uncle Mark and Aunt Cecilia have been quite generous to Laura.
I reckon Edwin is just a bad investment!â
Olivia mulled it over and found the logic in it too.
She rambled on, divulging every little detail about Alexis and Leonelâs escapade in bed.
After the meal, Alexis made a quick retreat.
She aimlessly drove around.
She kept muttering under her breath.
At her age, she couldnât believe she was getting grilled about her feelings by a little brat.

This is all Leonelâs fault! She thought.
The meal didnât quite hit the spot.
Alexis had always been a picky eater.
She sought out a place to satisfy her appetite.
The phone interrupted her thoughts.
It was Leonel.
In his usual gentle tone, Leonel asked, âWhere are you? Should I come pick you up?â
Alexis, stubborn as ever, retorted, âIâm having a blast! Mr.
Douglas, whatâs the deal? You donât have any friends, so you have to cling to me all the time like this? Honestly, Iâm starting to feel sorry for you!â
Leonel flashed a playful grin.
âYep, youâre all I have now!â
Teased by his comment, Alexis promptly hung up on him.
Shortly afterward, Leonel sent her a snapshot of a table adorned with a spread of Thai cuisine.
It looked undeniably authentic at first glance.
Having such a dashing man at home, who had taken the time to prepare a feast of her favorite dishes, the mere thought of it stirred her heart.
