Alexis mulled over the question for a while before finally answering, âWe love each other, and we love Evelyn.
Also, handling all this alone is becoming so tiring.
â
It wasnât easy, taking care of Evelyn alone in Braseovell.
Alexis wasnât the same woman she used to be, thanks to all the suffering she endured from loving Leonel.
But now, she came to realize that not everything was about love.
âThereâs nothing wrong with being with someone who loves Evelyn,â
Alexis concluded the conversation flatly.
Rena knew that.
She sighed with emotion, but she couldnât say much about it.
After all, Alexis was a grown woman who could make her own decisions.
While sipping from her tea, Alexis looked up and saw a figure standing nearby.
It was Leonel.
Wearing a very exquisite windbreaker and carrying his suitcase, he seemed worn out, which meant that he mightâve come straight from the airport.
Alexis was slightly stunned.
How long had he been standing there? Did he overhear their conversation just now?

However, Leonel seemed normal enough.
He put down his suitcase and hugged Rena gently in greeting.
Rena patted him on the back and said meaningfully, âIâll give you two some time to talk.
â
Leonel nodded and watched Rena leave.
He didnât withdraw his gaze until the latter was out of sight.
Then he asked Alexis in a low voice, âAre you feeling better?â
Taking a sip of the tea with a masked expression, Alexis replied perfunctorily, âYes.
â
Leonel sat down.
The servant brought him another cup.
He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, âIf you like it here, we can move back.
That way, Evelyn will always have company.
â
But Alexis shook her head.
She would have more free time when she finished up with work.
She didnât want to bother her parents.
After all, they were retired, and they deserved the rest.
Leonel didnât insist.
âOkay.
Iâll make time for you.
â
The blooming flowers bobbed in the wind.
The fresh breeze brought their sweet fragrances over, and Leonel breathed it in greedily, feeling refreshed.
