"What prompted your sudden visit?"

Alexis shifted her head slightly, her voice tinged with hoarseness.

"I intended it as a surprise, but turned out I was the one got surprised! So, how's Serenity? Did she miscarry?"

Leonel stayed silent for a moment before speaking in a low tone, "Aren't you curious about who the father of the child is?"

Alexis turned to face him, leaning against the wall, her voice gentle.

“It's not your child, is it?"

“Absolutely not!"

"Alexis, I've never had any entanglements with her before, and I certainly won't in the future, not to mention now."

Alexis raised her hand, delicately tracing his eyebrows and eyes.

He was quite handsome.

Leonel was brought up by her father, and though not sharing blood ties, he occasionally exhibited expressions reminiscent of her dad.

Using her slender fingers, she lightly brushed against his rather prominent nose.

In a tense tone, she continued, "Then why do you seem so troubled?

Let me make a guess. Is the child your father's? After that night, Serenity was aware that she might conceive, yet deliberately refrained from taking precautions, correct?"

Leonel remained silent, yet his gaze spoke volumes with intense clarity.

As though he desired to consume her entirely.

Alexis pushed him aside and walked towards the sofa. “Have you eaten?

I'm feeling hungry. Let's order some food!"

He seized her delicate wrist, drawing her into a distinctly masculine hug.

Leonel's voice, deeply resonant, whispered, "Alexis, I need to kiss you."
