Pausing in her organizational efforts, Alexis nodded affirmatively, stating, "Indeed, I have intentions for that. If all goes as planned, I'll depart once my tasks here conclude. Both you and Evelyn will fare better in Braseovell."

Unexpectedly, Calvin approached, positioning himself behind her.

With a gentle tone, he shared, "Actually, you don't have to take me into consideration. Your family resides here, and it's more beneficial for you and Evelyn to stay. Regarding Leonel, I doubt he can compel you."

After three years, Calvin matured a lot, resembling a reserved young homebody.

He had withdrawn from the media spotlight, transforming from a star into a cherished family member of Alexis.

Their closeness allowed him to sense her fragrance and feel her warmth, sparking an eagerness within him.

Despite his desire, he refrained from making any advances, opting to accompany her as her family as the only feasible action.

Glancing back at Calvin, Alexis said in a soft tone, "I also prefer residing in Braseovell. It feels right."

Calvin's eyes brightened momentarily, only to swiftly dim. Ultimately, he remained silent, offering only a bitter smile.

Alexis unlocked the French window on the balcony.

She ventured outside to breathe in the air of Duefron.

Alexis had been away for three years. Tomorrow, she planned to bring Evelyn home to meet her parents.

Abruptly, her gaze halted.

She saw Leonel on the opposite balcony, holding a cigarette between his slender fingers and gazing at her, his thoughts concealed...

Alexis didn't bother offering a smile in return.

She had simply made the decision to leave.

In that moment, Calvin emerged and noticed Leonel across the way. He gave Alexis a reassuring pat.

Alexis trailed behind Calvin as they returned to the bedroom.

The closed French window obscured their figures, overlapping through misted glass.

Resting against the French window, Alexis inquired in a raspy voice, “What's going on?"
