Alexis chose to disregard his comments.
After a stretch of driving, Leonel said tenderly, âAlexis, in essence, youâre still the same as when you were little.
I find myself having to pamper and coax you.
Even when you look tough, youâre actually remarkably easy to handle.
â
âEnough with the cheesy talk!â
Leonel chuckled softly, appearing content.
Thirty minutes later, they reached the familiar grocery store from their previous visit.
The atmosphere between them carried a distinct tone from their previous visit though.
Leonel piled items into the cart energetically.
Alexis protested, âThis is excessive; we wonât be able to consume it all.
Besides, Iâm clueless about cooking the steak! And Iâm not a fan of this brand of milk.
â
âItâs meant for two people.
Iâll take care of the steak, and the milk is for my consumption.

Following Leonelâs statement, Alexis muttered under her breath, âYouâre moving out in a few days, right?â

He turned to her and added, âIf Miss Fowler craves Thai, Iâll whip up Thai.
If she leans toward Italian, Iâll craft an Italian feast.
And if the mood strikes, I might even offer some special complementary services⦠Intriguing, isnât it?â
Uttering these shameless remarks audaciously, he drew laughter from the nearby girls.
Thankfully, Alexis had a resilient spirit, yet she wasnât keen on providing a free show to onlookers.
âLeonel, do you have no shame?â
In response, Leonel leaned in and planted a ki*s on her lips.
Nonchalantly, he proceeded as if everything had been perfectly normal.
âLetâs head to the fresh section and check if thereâs any sea bass available!â
Craving something spicy, Alexis skipped any pretense of refusal.
She trailed alongside him, their actions resembling those of a newlywed couple selecting groceries.
Leonel took charge of most decisions.
However, from time to time, he sought Alexisâ input, inquiring about her preferences for fruits and snacks.
An hour later, their cart brimmed with an assortment of items.
Upon returning to the apartment, Alexis promptly discarded her high heels and stretched out on the sofa.
