After the s@x, Leonel turned over.
He embraced her, tenderly held her leg, and lifted it.
Then, his lips met hers.
Alexis was too exhausted and didnât move, allowing Leonel to continue ki*sing her.
They cuddled and ki*sed for about ten minutes, after which Leonel gently lifted her and carried her to the bath.
The water temperature was not set very high⦠Alexis was soaked in warm water and she knew that he was trying to increase the chance of her pregnancy.
Leonel seemed adept at it.
Meanwhile, in the Fowler residence, it was already late at night.
Marcus was smoking on the balcony.
This was unusual for him, as he didnât normally smoke.
Ever since Leonel showed Marcus that photograph, his mind had been preoccupied.
It had been a long time.
Marcus had been on numerous blind dates with impressive women.
He had encountered many who were incredibly captivating.

He believed he should have moved on from that chapter of his life.
But he hadnât.
With a self-deprecating smile, Marcus realized he was just an ordinary person.
Like many others, once he developed feelings for someone, he too became as stupid and overly confident.
He extinguished the cigarette with his long fingers.
He then grabbed his coat and hurried down the stairs.
But as he arrived on the first floor, his path was obstructed.
Waylen sipped his tea in the dark.
The light was then turned on and Waylen scoffed.
âItâs quite late, isnât it? Where are you going?â
âIâve got an early meeting tomorrow.
Just going to check things out ahead of time.
â
Waylen said in a mocking voice, âYou really are a standard worker, arenât you?â
Marcus just gave a casual shrug and continued on his way.
Left in his wake, Waylen continued drinking his tea and mumbled under his breath, âSpring is nearly over.
Why is everyone still so unsettled?â
Marcus walked to his black Cullinan and drove away.
The driveway was brightly lit.
But even the bright lights did little to lift Marcusâ spirits.
He drove in silence with a blank face, all the way to the apartment.
He stopped the car and sat quietly in it.
