She touched her own face and remarked, "I know I'm pretty. Now stop staring and go get me some water!"

Leonel offered a faint smile.

“Indeed, you are the most beautiful."

He stood up to fetch water while Alexis lay back, quietly murmuring, “I'll just view it as having someone to keep my bed warm and prepare meals for me; it's actually quite economical when you think about it!"

Moreover, Leonel was so good in bed too.

She mulled over these thoughts while lying prone.

Shortly thereafter, Leonel returned with a glass of warm water. As Alexis accepted it and began to open the medicine box, she noticed his gaze fixed on her. She offered a subtle smile and cautioned, "Don't entertain any notions of me bearing your child!"

Leonel remained silent.

Displeased about the necessity of taking medicine, Alexis exhibited irritability. She administered another kick, directing him, "Go organize the study! Pay special attention to that sofa; give it a thorough cleaning with a sofa cleaning machine. Oh, I spent a fortune acquiring it from Italy! And you've just spoiled it."

Initially content, Leonel now acknowledges his error.

During Alexis' repose, he occupied himself with tidying up. By the time he completed the task, it was well into the night.

Not having drifted into slumber, Alexis reclined uncomfortably against the headboard, fixing her gaze on him.

“Leonel, was that contraception or poison you had me ingest? Why is my stomach in such agony?"

"Is the pain severe?"

Leonel extended his hand to caress her lower abdomen, his touch gentle as he observed her.

His warm, firm palm provided a certain comfort.

However, Alexis lacked the courage to permit him prolonged contact in that area.

After a while, she reclined, stating, "Okay, that's sufficient!"

Subsequently, Leonel reclined beside her, positioning himself near her ear.

"You just felt like being pampered, didn't you?"
