Ultimately, the little girl scampered back to her residence, colliding with Alexisâ embrace.
In a soft utterance, she whispered, âMom.
â
Returning, the servant reported with a smile, âEvelyn spotted a puppy in the adjacent villa and took a liking to it.
The proprietor seems respectable-a rather handsome man.
â
Sporting a faint smile, Alexis tenderly inquired of Evelyn, âWhat breed of dog is it? How about we get one too?â
Evelyn declined the notion of raising a dog, desiring the one from the neighboring villa.
Aware of Evelynâs unspoken desire, Alexis refrained from addressing it directly.
Instead, she bestowed a ki*s on Evelyn and instructed the servant to engage in play with her.
Ascending the stairs, Alexis commenced unpacking in her room.
Given the early summer weather, lightweight attire sufficed.
The majority of her suitcase contents catered to this season.
Unpacking the four suitcases, she arranged the items in the changing room.
Despite being nearly three years old, Evelyn continued to share a bed with Alexis.
The room housed a wardrobe brimming with Evelynâs dresses.
The bedroom door received a series of knocks, and Calvin entered.
Leaning against the changing room doorframe, he observed Alexis momentarily.
Then, with a flat tone, he remarked, âYour wardrobe seems tailored for summer only.
Seriously? Are you planning an exit before autumn arrives?â
Pausing in her organizational efforts, Alexis nodded affirmatively, stating, âIndeed, I have intentions for that.
If all goes as planned, Iâll depart once my tasks here conclude.
Both you and Evelyn will fare better in Braseovell.
â
Unexpectedly, Calvin approached, positioning himself behind her.
With a gentle tone, he shared, âActually, you donât have to take me into consideration.
Your family resides here, and itâs more beneficial for you and Evelyn to stay.
Regarding Leonel, I doubt he can compel you.
â
After three years, Calvin matured a lot, resembling a reserved young homebody.
He had withdrawn from the media spotlight, transforming from a star into a cherished family member of Alexis.
Their closeness allowed him to sense her fragrance and feel her warmth, sparking an eagerness within him.
Despite his desire, he refrained from making any advances, opting to accompany her as her family as the only feasible action.
Glancing back at Calvin, Alexis said in a soft tone, âI also prefer residing in Braseovell.
It feels right.
â
Calvinâs eyes brightened momentarily, only to swiftly dim.
Ultimately, he remained silent, offering only a bitter smile.
Alexis unlocked the French window on the balcony.
She ventured outside to breathe in the air of Duefron.
Alexis had been away for three years.
Tomorrow, she planned to bring Evelyn home to meet her parents.
