Nestled against his back, Alexis whispered gently, âGive me some time, okay?â
A hint of surprise flickered across Leonelâs expression.
He was familiar with Alexis to the extent that he could recognize her proud nature, realizing that she wouldnât speak vaguely unless she was really hesitating.
Additionally, her openness to share her life with him and her softened attitude served as clear signs.
It was likely that affection had taken root within her.
Moments later, he pivoted and planted a tender ki*s on her lips.
Soft morning light filtered through the window, enveloping them in a gentle, serene radiance.
Alexis playfully murmured, âIf you persist with these ki*ses, Iâll be late for work!â
Leonel responded with another ki*s before swiftly organizing breakfast.

Alexis opted not to respond to the cheeky comment.
After breakfast, Leonel chauffeured her to the law firm, and then proceeded to the airport to fetch a returning partner from Acoiclya.
The car halted at the law firmâs entrance.
Leonel turned to her, stating, âIâll swing by after your work.
Weâve got dinner plans with them.
â
âThem?â she inquired.
Leonel grinned, âDarwin and his wife.
You remember her, right? We shared a kindergarten; sheâs the piano virtuoso.
â
Alexis reminisced about Serenity.
She glanced at Leonel, saying, âYou never mentioned staying connected with her while you were abroad.
I had no idea.
â
Leonel assessed her expression.
After a brief pause, he smiled, remarking, âThe community is small.
If youâd rather not meet them, thereâs no pressure.
Weâre not exactly in the same social orbit.
â
Alexis offered a faint smile and exited the car.
Inside the law firm, she promptly dialed Edwin, declaring, âIâve got some funds that might come in handy for you!â
Edwinâs voice carried fatigue, probably a result of his strenuous battles with the Smith family.
âNo, Lexi.
Youâve already been a tremendous help!â
