Leonel headed to the kitchen to reheat the dishes. Returning with the warmed food, he poured himself a glass of red wine. Alexis frowned at the sight. "You just had surgery. You shouldn't be drinking."

Instead of responding, Leonel pushed the glass towards her, hinting for her to drink. “It's our wedding night," he said.

Alexis hesitantly picked up the glass, swirled the wine gently, and finally took a sip, drinking half of it.

Leonel watched her closely before asking, "Have you made things clear with him? How did he take it? Is he okay with you marrying me? Did he argue with you?"

Putting down her glass, Alexis met Leonel's gaze and spoke up slowly.
