As he lowered his gaze, he realized Alexis had drifted off to sleep.

Her head was resting on his neck and her arms wrapped around his body... She looked completely at ease, and so gentle.

Leonel found himself kissing her for a while.

This night was so important to him that he could barely sleep a wink.

As dawn broke, Leonel carefully pulled away from Alexis, got dressed, and made his way downstairs.

Rena was already there, guiding the servants on the morning's meal preparation. She included a variety of dishes, most Likely because all the children were home, and they all had their own preference for breakfast.

"Mom!" Leonel called out to her.

Rena turned to him with a warm smile. "How was your sleep after last night's drinks?"

Leonel moved closer to her and replied, "It was fine!"

Once Rena was done instructing the servant, they strolled together toward the courtyard. Rena, not involved in business these days, found her joy in caring for the flowers and plants, and Leonel kept her company.

Rena watered the flowers.

Her face looked calm and beautiful under the morning light. She didn't look like she was aging.

She turned to Leonel and asked, “How are things going with your sister?" Are you two getting along well lately?"

If it were someone else asking, Leonel would brushed off the questions, unfazed!

However, this was Rena, and his youthful, attractive face couldn't help but look flustered. "Yes, we are! Mom, don't be bothered...

There won't be a repeat of what happened before!"

Rena's voice was gentle as she responded, "Leonel, all I want to say is that you two grew up together and share a unique bond. Even if you're not married, you're still family."

Leonel acknowledged her words with a hum.

Rena set aside the watering can and watched her son in the morning light. She was so proud of the handsome and capable man he had become.

She straightened his collar. "Go upstairs and wake Alexis up!"
