She deemed Edwin shameless.
Lounging on the sofa, Alexis narrowed her eyes at Edwin.
âItâs still daylight, Edwin, so show some restraint.
Ten Lauras wouldnât be sufficient for your teasing antics.
â
As Edwin headed to the kitchen, he quipped, âI just need one.
â
Alexis snickered.
âHah! Thatâs our man.
â
Lauraâs face deepened in color, and she remained silent.
Observing Lauraâs expression, Alexis understood what had stirred Edwinâs interest.
Edwin was robust in nature, while Laura was such a sweet little thing.
She was so endearing.
Edwin excelled not only in teasing Laura but also in the culinary arts.
The dishes he prepared were delectable.
After dinner, Edwin spent two hours in the study with Leonel.
Upon emerging, Edwin departed with Laura.
Eventually, Leonel, rubbing his temples, stepped out of the study.
Engaged in watching TV, Alexis inquired softly, âYouâve been spending a lot of time with Edwin lately, havenât you?â
Leonel nodded.
Unbuttoning his shirt, he expressed gently, âHe approached me for an investment in a project.
After evaluation, it seems viable.
I might have a business trip for a few days next week.
â
Alexis nodded without delving further into the matter.
Leonel dr@ped his arm around her shoulders from behind the sofa and inquired, âWhy the sudden lack of inquiries?â
âIt wouldnât be suitable for me to pry into your business matters.
Besides, Edwin is like a brother to me.
â
Alexis maintained a clear distinction between business and private matters.
Leonel proposed, âWouldnât it be fitting if I gifted you some shares?â
After a brief pause, he inquired, âWhat do you think of twenty percent?â
Turning to face him, Alexis embraced his neck and whispered, âDonât, Leonel.
We donât need to convey our feelings through such gestures.
I have my own financial means.
â
Gazing down at her, Leonel whispered in a husky tone, âYet, Alexis, I desire to give you all that I possess and share every aspect of my life with you.
â
Inhaling deeply, Alexis expressed, âYour words truly move me.
â
Leonel affectionately patted her hip and remarked, âYouâre quite a character.
