Leonel, holding his cigarette gracefully, took his time blowing a smoke ring before replying casually, "Your sister? Alexis is my sister too!"

Marcus let out a mocking laugh. "Not many people try to make a move on their own sisters!"

Leonel, unfazed, extinguished his cigarette with a laugh. "I couldn't help falling for her! And hey, Marcus, from now on, you can call me your brother-in-law, or just your brother, if you prefer."

He winked. “I might even give you some spending money as a loving big brother."

Marcus just scoffed in response.

Leonel made his way back to his bedroom, lingering for a while before heading to the third floor, where Alexis’ room was located.

Elva was also there in Alexis' room.

When she spotted Leonel, she slid off the bed, her cheeks a hint of pink. "Leonel, are you sleeping here tonight?"

Leonel nodded, confirming, "Yes. I'll stay here tonight."

Elva took a quick look at Alexis.

Noticing that Alexis seemed calm even under scrutiny, Elva declared, "Then, I'm off!"

She then dashed away.

Alexis, reclining on her bed, stretched out her long legs.

She nonchalantly browsed through a magazine, commenting, "You seem different tonight."

But Leonel had something else on his mind. “Does Elva always stick to you like this?"

Alexis was known for her usual distant demeanor towards others, yet she was always gentle with her sister. Not only Elva, but Olivia and Laura also enjoyed being close to her.

Leonel couldn't help but feel a hint of envy.

Catching onto his thoughts, Alexis gave a playful smile. "What's with you today?"

In response, Leonel leaned in for a kiss.

However, Alexis wasn't keen on getting intimate at home. She knew that once they got started, they'd be loud, and no amount of soundproofing could help.
