Turning to face him, Alexis embraced his neck and whispered, “Don't, Leonel. We don't need to convey our feelings through such gestures.

I have my own financial means."

Gazing down at her, Leonel whispered in a husky tone, "Yet, Alexis, I desire to give you all that I possess and share every aspect of my life with you."

Inhaling deeply, Alexis expressed, "Your words truly move me."

Leonel affectionately patted her hip and remarked, "You're quite a character."
