Because of what had happened last night, he was clearly in a good mood. In the morning, he wasn't being mean, which was rare.

When Alexis woke up, she found herself in bed alone.

She looked around and saw no hints of either Leonel or Evelyn.

But after a while, she heard the faint sound of a child's voice coming from downstairs, accompanied with a distinct male voice which she immediately recognized as Leonel's.

Alexis sat up in bed and stared into the middle distance as she listened to those distant sounds.

She started to hear footsteps approaching her coming from the staircase.

When the door opened, she saw Evelyn, who rushed to her and kissed her on the cheek. “Daddy asked me to wake you up!" she said.

Alexis smiled and kissed her daughter back.

With a look of joy on her face, Evelyn told her what her dad had made for breakfast.

Listening to her talk, Alexis felt a warmth surge in her heart. She asked Evelyn to wait for a moment so that she could wash up.

Once she was done, Alexis took Evelyn downstairs.

Indeed, Leonel prepared a hearty breakfast. There was a bowl of congee with sliced beef sprinkled with thinly sliced green onions on top.

It had such an appetizing aroma.

When Alexis only saw one bowl in front of her daughter, she asked, “Where's mine?"

At that moment, Leonel was reading the newspaper.

When he heard her question, he looked up at her and replied lazily, “I told you about the breakfast options, but you didn't tell me your preference."

Alexis gritted her teeth in anger.

He didn't mention anything about breakfast last night because he was too busy pestering her.

But since their child was also there, she had to control her temper.

Leonel then offered her a soft-boiled egg, holding the plate with his slender and good-looking fingers.
