Waylen was poised and composed as he glanced at him and said, “What?

Is Alexis not listening to you?"

At that moment, Marcus descended the stairs with Elva.

Waylen flipped through the newspaper casually, and said, “Leonel, you should try harder."

Leonel fixed his tie and took a seat.

He said with a grin, “Let her rest a bit more if she wants to. I've got some errands to run later anyway. I'll return to get Alexis."

Waylen queried, “Why not stay here instead of living apart? This isn't right!"

Little Elva was munching on a sandwich as she cut in, “Leonel just wants some private time with Lexi! He was in her room last night."

Leonel gave her a look.

Elva pouted and said, “But you were in her room."

Waylen handed her a cup of milk and she softly thanked him, “Thanks, Daddy."

Waylen feigned indifference and inquired, "So, Leonel, what's your plan with Alexis?"

After all, their relationship couldn't continue indefinitely with just casual sleepovers!

That was his daughter they were talking about!

Sure, Leonel was almost like a son to him, but... It was different with a girl as she might end up in a less favorable position.

Leonel responded with a faint smile, "I'm actually thinking about marriage. It all hinges on Alexis’ feelings.”

Waylen agreed with a nod, “Her opinion is truly important.”

But he couldn't shake off his concerns. What if their relationship didn't work out? They had already been intimate. How would they manage to Live under the same roof in the future if they eventually broke up? Just thinking about this was distressing.

Later that evening, Leonel arrived to pick up Alexis.

As they settled into the car, he asked her, "Did you sleep all day?"
