It took time, but Alexis eventually moved on.

She didn't care much anymore. If Leonel hadn't reappeared in her life, he would have been insignificant.

Now he asked if she was seeing someone else.

Alexis didn't try to decipher Leonel's thoughts.

Leone's face wasn't looking great, but he didn't pry further. Her words must have been hard for him to digest.

When he chose not to be with her, he should've realized that someday she would move on.

Whether for love... Marriage, or just fleeting pleasure.

Leonel's knuckles whitened as he abruptly stopped at a red Light, the tires’ screeching sounds startling both of them.

In a subdued tone, he murmured, "Sorry!"

Alexis remained quiet.

By sharing this with Leonel, she meant to emphasize that he shouldn't have any false hopes or expect her to remain chaste and without any man by her side, pining for him to change his mind.

What a joke!

She hadn't given up on herself. Alexis was an ordinary woman with needs who'd been involved with a man or two in the past.

There was even a famous celebrity who had pursued her and continued to do so.

But Alexis had grown weary of it all.

She didn't wish to conceal anything from Leonel, perhaps deep down hoping to sever all ties with him.

The traffic light at the intersection flickered intermittently.

Leonel retrieved a pack of cigarettes from the glove compartment, lit one, and reclined in his seat, puffing away.

Beside him sat Alexis, someone he had given up on but had frequently crossed his mind over the years.

However, it was evident that Alexis didn't think much about him anymore.
