The evening breeze of the summer night hit their faces, the warmth feeling ticklish against their skin.

Waylen lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before asking, "Have you been tried smoking?"

Leonel shook his head.

It wasn't that Leonel wasn't into vices. Rather, he just hadn't thought about it.

Waylen nodded with satisfaction. “It's good that you don't smoke."

With the cigarette nestled between his fingers, Waylen blew a thin wisp of smoke above him. His masculine aura came across as so natural that even Leonel was a bit stunned by it.

Waylen turned to Leonel and smiled. "What's wrong, silly boy?"

Leonel looked away and pursed his lips. He had always been a reserved boy.

Waylen patted Leonel's shoulder and said, “Alright. They have something to talk about. Let's go downstairs and have dinner first."

While heading downstairs, they happened to pass by Alexis’ bedroom.

Leonel could hear Rena's voice through the door. With her was another girl whose voice sounded crisp and clear. Normally, Leonel wouldn't feel anything. But in that instance, his body was burning.

His face was red and felt like it was on fire.

After the two men had dinner, Waylen proceeded to deal with business while Leonel finished his homework.

The entire time, Leonel was listening to the sound upstairs. Despite what he heard, he noticed that Alexis had not yet come downstairs.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Leonel couldn't help but go upstairs.

He knocked on the door and waited for her to answer.

Even before opening it, Alexis already knew that it was Leonel. She chewed on the pen cap and let him in. When Leonel opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of Alexis doing her homework at the desk.

She had already changed her clothes-a pure white lounge wear.

Her long brown hair cascaded down her waist like a magnificent waterfall.

Under the light, her face glowed, which further accentuated her natural beauty.
