"I'm not like Olivia and Laura."

Leonel gave a slight smile and said nothing, but he drove towards the market.

The early spring night was serene, and the car ride was peaceful.

They had had feelings for each other since they were young. And now that their relationship had gotten physical, there was a sense of vagueness between them.

Silence enveloped the car.

After ten minutes, Leonel pulled up the car and walked around to open Alexis’ door.

Observing a group of middle-aged women dancing in the square, Alexis squinted, reluctant to leave the car.

"You mentioned a night market, why are we at a square dance?"

Leonel responded with a smile.

He gently helped her out and leaned in to kiss her ear.

"The night market is close to this area. No need to rush."

Alexis looked at him curiously, "You seem quite familiar with this place."

“I live around here. I often stroll down here whenever I'm free."

Alexis looked at him with a mix of curiosity and bemusement.

Leonel held her hand and led her on a leisurely walk like a long-married couple.

This was a new experience for Alexis.

She felt a little uncomfortable at first but he wrapped an arm around her and asked with a husky voice, "Is this better?"

In response, Alexis playfully kicked him.

Seizing the moment, he leaned in to kiss her.

In the cool night air, his lips were warm. It carried a strong masculine energy that shrouded her right at the bustling park.
