But he tried to hide it by leaning down to give her a ki*s on her nose.
âWhy do you have that on your nightstand?â he asked in an enticing tone.
âYouâre tempting me, Alexis.
â
Alexis looked up at him and replied in a seductive tone, âSo, are you tempted?â
Of course, Leonel was.
Without hesitation, he stretched his hand towards the nightstand and grabbed the lubricant.
He hadnât used such a thing before, so his movements were somewhat clumsy.
Also, it had been a long time since they had been intimate, so he was feeling very nervous.
As he prepared to begin the process, he looked at Alexisâ restrained expression and paused.
âCan you really forget about what happened in the past?â he said in her ear.
âAlexis, I donât want you to force yourself at all.
If I was not the one with you, you probably wouldnât need this to get ready.
â
At this point, Leonelâs sweat-soaked skin had turned quite cold.
He slowly rolled off her and was about to get off the bed.
But Alexis grabbed him and held him tightly.
âI can try to forget,â she whispered.
âLetâs give it another try.
â
Leonel stared at her for some time.
Then he gently extricated himself from her embrace and got up.
But he didnât leave the bed.
Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed his trousers, and put them on.
Then he lit a cigarette and began to smoke.
Alexis sat up on the bed and hugged him from behind.
After Leonel had finished smoking, he turned around and ki*sed her gently.
But just then, one of the domestic staff knocked on the door and announced that Lunch was ready.
This automatically brought a halt to their romance.
They quickly changed clothes and woke Daniel up so they could all have lunch together.
Later that night, Leonel didnât leave.
Instead, he slept in Danielâs room.
Evelyn and Cordelia were also brought back that night.
Before it was bed time, Evelyn ran into the master bedroom.
Cordelia was seated on the carpet, engrossed in playing with her toys.
As for Alexis, she had just finished bathing and was applying body lotion.
âIs Daddy not going to leave anymore?â Evelyn asked curiously in a low voice.
Even though she knew that Leonel had decided to stay the night, Alexis really couldnât figure out his true intentions.
She felt that if he was genuinely interested in restarting their life together, he would have shared her bed since he was someone who was usually driven by desire.
Right now, she was very much unsure about what he was thinking.
Putting down her body lotion, Alexis touched Evelynâs face and said in reply, âYou can go ask Daddy by yourself.
â
âI asked, but he wouldnât say.
He told me to ask you,â Evelyn said.
The poor little girl was completely oblivious of what Leonel really meant, but Alexis certainly did understand.
It was now clear to her that Leonel wouldnât leave, not this time.
As a result, she couldnât help but feel somewhat emotional.
It took her a moment before she could control her emotions well enough to respond to Evelyn.
âWell, you can be at ease then,â she said with a shrug, feigning carelessness.
âYouâll be able to see Daddy every morning from now on.
