That audacious man. She'd assert her authority a bit, as was fitting.

Alexis took two days off to recover. Initially planning to return to work, she decided to extend her break by two more days since it was the weekend. Just as she was contemplating inviting someone for a meal, Leonel entered the study, holding his phone.

He conveyed, "Dad wants us to join for dinner!"

Nonchalantly lying on the sofa and reading a book, with her long legs hanging casually, Alexis responded with composure, “That's my dad! Not yours! Quit addressing him incorrectly!"

Leonel chuckled.

"Are you going to argue with me about this too?

Didn't you always make me call him that when we were kids?"

Alexis didn't bother to engage in an argument with him.

She mused. It had been a while since she had visited her old man.

She should do this.

However, Leonel spoke again, saying, "I've already turned down the invitation!"

Alexis was left speechless.

"Then why bring this up to me?"

He approached her, bending down to kiss her.

“Let's go on a date to a restaurant or do grocery shopping and cook together at home. Take your pick."

"I don't want to choose either!"

“But you have to."

Alexis continued flipping through her book, stating, "I want to invite someone out to eat! I don't want your company or cooking!"

Having expressed that, she lightly patted his handsome face. She then intended to get up.

Leonel didn't permit it.
