Leonel let out a self-deprecating Laugh.

A half-hour later, they arrived at the apartment building where Alexis' client resided. Alexis instructed Leonel to head back first.

He nodded, gesturing toward the building.

Alexis said, “Alright, I'll try to come down as soon as possible."

The client was obviously just seeking for attention, and by the time everything was resolved, it was already past one in the morning.

Exhausted, Alexis got into the car, removed her coat, and sank back into her seat.

She then let out a deep sigh.

That woman had almost lost her life!

Quietly observing her, Leonel caught a glimpse of Alexis's profile.

She possessed Rena's beauty but also bore some resemblance to Waylen, an exquisite blend. Her shirt clung slightly due to her posture, accentuating her mature curves.

Leonel's throat bobbed slightly.

He picked up his phone and casually scrolled through it, suggesting, “Let's go grab something to eat."

With her eyes closed, Alexis replied, "At this hour? What's open?"

She slowly opened her eyes and offered a soft smile.

"Leonel, how about a change? Let's go to a bar."

She leaned closer to him, her voice gentle.

"You haven't brought any flings back this time. How have you been coping?"

Leonel looked down at her.

He understood she was purposefully diverting any thoughts he might have. He wasn't even certain of his own feelings. Since returning, he had simply felt a desire to spend some quality time with her.

They might not end up together, but he cared for Alexis more than any other woman.
