Alexis looked at him curiously.
Darwin laughed bitterly.
âSerenity has been my wife for a few years but her heart seems always set on Leonel.
Alexis, you have it all.
Youâre capable of attracting any remarkable man.
Perhaps you might considerâ¦â
âConsider letting Leonel be with Serenity?â
Alexis interjected.
Darwin bowed his head as he sipped his coffee, tasting its bitterness.
Smiling, Alexis remarked, âYouâre quite selfless, Darwin.
Serenity was your wife.
Itâs hard to believe you want to find her a husband.
But you may be getting this mixed up.
I donât own Leonel, and I canât make decisions for him.
â
Darwin was about to respond, but Alexis cut him off.
âI once naively thought Leonel was mine.
But I was mistaken.
He left, only to return much later and not because he was mine, but because he chose to.

Visibly shocked, Darwin asked, âAbout your relationship with himâ¦â
âNo comment,â Alexis answered with a smile.
With her unfinished coffee, she rose and said, âDarwin, carrying too much burden can harm both you and the other person.
They may not even value your sacrifices.
â
With that, she left.
Darwin remained and slowly finished his coffee.
He realized Alexis had a deep understanding of the situation.
She sensed his affection for her, yet he was worthless to her.
Alexis met Leonel when she walked out.
Seated in the car, she remained quiet for some time before asking, âHave you been having someone shadow me?â
Leonel didnât deny it.
Glancing her way, he admitted, âIâm concerned about your safety.
â
Her fingers tensed as she looked at Leonel.
âYouâre aware of what Darwin told me, arenât you?â
Leonel was indeed aware.
He wasnât aware that Darwin had feelings for Alexis.
He wondered why Darwin chose to marry Serenity.
