Edwinâs frustration peaked, their struggle mirroring old conflicts, each blow landing with intent.
In the end, both collapsed to the floor.

âYou scoundrel! Drown in your riches!â
Leonel groaned hoarsely.

âBehave yourself!â Laura protested.
Chuckling, Edwin leaned in.
âYouâre too adorable, and I just canât resist!â
Her cheeks flushed red.
As she painstakingly treated his wounds, he embraced and teased her once more, making even her small nose turn red, calling him an animal in the end.
