Alexis turned to face him, leaning against the wall, her voice gentle.
âItâs not your child, is it?â
âAbsolutely not!â
âAlexis, Iâve never had any entanglements with her before, and I certainly wonât in the future, not to mention now.
â
Alexis raised her hand, delicately tracing his eyebrows and eyes.
He was quite handsome.
Leonel was brought up by her father, and though not sharing blood ties, he occasionally exhibited expressions reminiscent of her dad.
Using her slender fingers, she lightly brushed against his rather prominent nose.
In a tense tone, she continued, âThen why do you seem so troubled?
Let me make a guess.
Is the child your fatherâs? After that night, Serenity was aware that she might conceive, yet deliberately refrained from taking precautions, correct?â
Leonel remained silent, yet his gaze spoke volumes with intense clarity.
As though he desired to consume her entirely.
Alexis pushed him aside and walked towards the sofa.
âHave you eaten?
Iâm feeling hungry.
Letâs order some food!â

He seized her delicate wrist, drawing her into a distinctly masculine hug.
Leonelâs voice, deeply resonant, whispered, âAlexis, I need to ki*s you.
â
He pressed her against the wall, his hand sensuously tracing the hemline of her shirt with fervor.
Alexis felt a stir of emotion, yet her rationality held firm.
Nevertheless, she gently pushed him away, stating, âYou have the scent of hospital.
I donât like it.
Letâs eat first!â
Leonel adamantly held onto her, keeping her close, his head Lowered as he spoke tenderly.
âAre you still bothered? Thereâs nothing between her and me.
I merely didnât wish to abandon a expecting woman in distress.
â
Alexis placed her trust in him.
Given their present relationship, Leonel wouldnât entangle himself with Serenity.
Yet womenâs emotions are frequently enigmatic, and she had no desire to alter her small quirks.
Alexis stayed quiet.
