The atmosphere turned icy.
The truth was, she felt nothing.
Despite their recent hugs, ki*ses, and caresses, she wasnât turned on or anything.
It suddenly struck Leonel that his actions had been his emotional release all along.
Ironically, he had just held her close, whispering softly, âIâll make sure you feel good as well in a few days.
â
Leonel, a man of pride, was left feeling defeated by his inability to bring his wife pleasure.
His Adamâs apple moved as he swallowed hard; he then settled back onto the bed and tenderly hugged her once again.
He murmured in her ear, âOnce youâre feeling better, letâs schedule a visit to the doctor.
â
The following day, Alexis paid a visit to Jessie.
Jessie had delivered a son for Albert, and they named him Bernard Waston.
At birth, Bernard weighed solid nine pounds.
Jessie endured three days and nights of labor to bring him into the world, causing Albert to scold the newborn right upon his arrival.
Nevertheless, Albert cherished the child deeply.
Despite the scolding, Albert was determined to care for Bernard himself.
The more he gazed at his son, the greater his joy.
While Albert also adored Jeslyn, the connection he felt with his own flesh and blood was incomparable.
Moreover, knowing that Bernardâs mother was his beloved Jessie made the bond even more special.

Jeslyn showered her little brother with affection, visiting the hospital every day to see him.
Jessieâs mother would prepare nutritious soup and accompany Jeslyn to the hospital, returning with her at night.
This routine ensured Jeslyn could spend quality time with her new brother while also maintaining her daily routine.
Listening to their tales, Alexis couldnât help but feel the happiness that permeated their lives.
She didnât stay long, she merely exchanged pleasantries, left the gifts, and left.
Recognizing Jessieâs postpartum weakness, Albert accompanied her to the door.
When Albert returned to the ward after seeing Alexis off, he found Jessie sitting up, lost in contemplation.
Albert approached, gently pinching her cheek as he inquired, âWhatâs on your mind, love? You seem lost in thought.
â
Jessie looked up at him.
Just then, Bernardâs hunger made him cry, prompting Albert to scoop him up.
Meanwhile, Jessie tenderly unbuttoned her top, cradling the baby in her arms to feed him.
Bernard was delighted with his meal.
Jessie glanced at Bernard, conversing with Albert.
âWhen Alexis spoke with us earlier, it felt like she was bidding farewell before embarking on a distant journey.
Otherwise, she wouldnât have rushed to visit me so soon after giving birth.
Yet, when Melissa visited a few days ago, she assured me that Alexis and Leonel were doing well.
â
Albert observed the same.
He gently stroked Jessieâs hair, sighing.
âTheir situation seems more complex than ours.
