But he almost overlooked that fact that childbirth could likely get Alexis killed! His body was shaking when he realized this...

Alexis sensed Leonel's body quivering.

After some time, Leonel pivoted and embraced Alexis, burying his face in her neck. His skin radiated an unusual warmth, bordering on abnormal.

Never had Alexis witnessed him in such a vulnerable state.

Turning her face to the side, she murmured, "The doctor will find a solution when the time comes, Leonel. It's merely an unfortunate incident. I haven't experienced bleeding in quite a while."

He remained silent, simply cradling her in his embrace.

Time passed before Leonel, in a hushed tone, questioned, “Do you also desire to have a child with me?"

Alexis, feeling a mix of embarrassment and irritation, asserted, "I'm being sincere."

His demeanor grew earnest. "I'm sincere too, Alexis. Don't you want to marry me? We could start our days together, sharing breakfast in the morning before heading to work separately. I'll even prepare dinner for you in the evenings. Doesn't that prospect excite you?"

"Sounds delightful."

She smiled, adding, “However, compatibility is key. Familiarity doesn't guarantee smooth sailing."

Leonel bestowed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Don't we have a good rapport?"

"Are you referring to our compatibility in bed?"

Playfully patting her on the rear, Leonel advised, "Ladies should exude more elegance. Let's not always dwell on such matters."

Alexis enveloped him in an embrace.

Her hands roamed freely. "So, what? Are you partial to more reserved women?"

Actually, what Alexis wanted to inquire about was whether that was the reason he went out with Serenity.

However, Alexis refrained from dampening the mood at that moment.

Knowing Alexis intimately, how could Leonel be oblivious? He simply smiled and turned to attend to the cooking. Awkwardly, Alexis retreated to the living room. After a while, she couldn't help but ask, “Is it really okay if we don't go back to Mr. Gibson's place?"
