Nevertheless, he seemed to sense something in her silence and he asked her, âYou were fine just a minute ago.
Why are you suddenly mad at me now?â
âIâm not mad at you.
I just donât want to talk right now,â Alexis explained and then she changed the topic.
âBy the way, I heard from your secretary that youâre going on a business trip this weekend.
â
By this time, the light had turned green and Leonel stepped on the gas.
It was evening.
But in the distance, the golden orb of the sun was slowly sinking.
Before long, the ground was covered by dusk and the streetlights came on.
âItâs been delayed,â Leonel said in answer to her question.
âIt has now been rescheduled to a fortnight away.
â
Thinking that the rescheduling was probably due to the fact that he was worried about Evelyn, Alexis said to assure him, âThere is no court trial this week, so donât worry, I can take Evelyn with me to the law firm.
â
Leonel didnât say anything in response.
He seemed to be focused only on driving.
Alexis thought that was it.
But when Leonel rolled the car to a stop at the parking lot of the villa, he unfastened his seat belt and said all of a sudden, âThis week is your fertile window.
â
Alexis was stunned.
When she finally found her voice, she murmured, âThat should be after my period.
â
âThereâs also a fertile window before your period.
I heard women usually get extremely needy during this time.
What? Donât you feel needy at all?â
Alexis didnât say anything.
She just looked at the lights in the house and the servants inside doing their jobs.
She was too ashamed to discuss this issue with him.
Besides, Evelyn was still right there with them in the car.
While this was going through Alexisâ mind, Evelyn suddenly woke up just like Alexis had feared.
She rubbed her eyes and let go of Ollie.
âWhat are you talking about, daddy?â she asked in a daze.
âMommy needs what?â
Alexis couldnât help but feel so embarrassed.
But Leonel quietly leaned over and wiped the saliva from Evelynâs mouth.
Then with his eyes on Alexis, he answered, âI asked your mommy if she wanted to try my cooking.
â
Evelyn clapped her hands happily and said, âDaddy, you cook so well!â
Alexis didnât want to hear any more.
Wearing Evelyn a coat, she opened the door and stepped out of the car.
âYou carry her,â she said to Leonel.
At this point, Ollie also jumped out of the car and went off with Alexis.
With Evelyn in his arms, Leonel got out of the car too.
But suddenly, without prompting, she whispered to him, âDaddy, when youâre not home, mommy finishes her meal obediently.
â
Leonel couldnât help but break into a smile.
Frankly, even when he was home, Alexis also finished her meal obediently.
