Alexis had lightened her workload, concentrating on recovery and eagerly anticipating the wedding.
Laura, too, was a constant presence, providing companionship throughout Alexisâ pregnancy.
Lately, Laura had taken up knitting.
Not only did she craft sweaters for her own future child, but she also unintentionally created several for Alexisâ baby.
Numerous sets of light pink and baby blue sweaters, coupled with tiny trousers, presented an adorable sight.
The entire ensemble couldnât match the length of Leonelâs arm.
Observing this, Alexis leaned in, resting her face on Lauraâs shoulder.
Blinking, she praised, âLaura, youâre truly versatile.
â
Laura blushed.
She hadnât entirely accustomed herself to her proximity to Alexis.
In truth, after an extended period of interaction, Alexis proved to be somewhat different from Lauraâs initial perception.
Alexis was no longer as aloof and haughty as she once was.
Occasionally, she even exhibited a more playful, childlike demeanor in Lauraâs presence.
Leonel must have a strong liking for Alexis, Laura thought as she contemplated.
In the midst of her thoughts, the apartment door was pushed open.
Leonel returned, accompanied by Edwin.
Nonchalantly changing his shoes, Leonel inquired, âAny cravings for tonightâs dinner?

After a brief contemplation, Alexis replied, âIâm in the mood for honey-glazed, smoked spare ribs.
â
Alexis glanced at Laura.
Laura whispered, âIâd like to have that as well.
â
Leonel grinned.
âItâs okay, Laura.
Edwin will be our chef tonight.
â
Laura blushed, stealing a glance at Edwin.
He appeared well-groomed, his allure undiminished since before marriage, unlike herself, sporting a baby bump.
With slender limbs, she felt somewhat Like a petite frog.
She couldnât help but worry whether he found it unappealing.
Nonetheless, despite her frog-like appearance, Edwin remained cheerful and attracted to her.
Despite being married for a considerable time, Laura was still too shy to gaze at him directly.
After glancing at Edwin, Laura promptly shifted her position and whispered, âIâm in the mood for prawns.
â
Edwin entered with a grocery bag in hand, containing prawns.
Upon witnessing his, Lauraâs joy was evident.
âHow did you know I was craving these?â
Edwin casually unbuttoned his cuff link, grinning.
âI did mention last night that Iâm a mind reader.
â
Lauraâs face turned as red as a ripe apple, as she recalled last night.
