Leonel lowered his gaze and calmly uttered, “If you're hesitant about getting married, that's fine. I want custody of both children in that case."

Following his statement, he met Alexis' gaze in the rearview mirror.

He appeared composed with no visible signs of nervousness, yet his fingers on the steering wheel grew pale from exertion.
