He spoke to her as though he was coaxing Evelyn. “Here, eat this.

I'll cook something you like for you tomorrow."

Alexis awkwardly pushed away the plate and declined. "It's okay.

That's for Evelyn."

Evelyn, who looked content with her beef congee, said, “I'll give the egg to Mommy!"

After a slight pause, she added, "I'm also willing to share Daddy with Mommy!"

Upon hearing this, Alexis’ jaw slacked.

Who taught Evelyn this?

Leonel's eyes narrowed before his lips curled into a smile. He then gently stroked Evelyn's hair and encouraged her, saying, “How will you share Daddy with Mommy, sweetie?"

Of course, as a child, Evelyn had no idea about the adult stuff.

So, she innocently replied, “Daddy hugged me to sleep last night. But when I woke up this morning, Mommy's in Daddy's arms!"

When she heard this, Alexis almost choked.

She glared at Leonel, who then said matter-of-factly, “You were the one who came over to my side!"

Alexis pursed her lips and didn't say anything in reply.

She knew very well that this warm atmosphere was only made possible because of Leonel's good mood. If at any point, his mood turned sour or if he thought of Calvin, he would become cold and sarcastic yet again. By then, it would be very difficult to be around him.

So, she ate her breakfast in silence.

As she was about to go to the law firm, she said to Leonel, "I don't have a court trial today. I can take Evelyn with me."

Leonel put down Evelyn and wiped his Lips with a napkin.

“If you have no court trial today, you can work from home. Or, better yet, you can go to my company! Alexis, you're not actually busy, are you? You're just trying to avoid me."

"No!" Alexis denied, trying her best to maintain her calm tone. "The law firm has accumulated a lot of work over the years during my absence."
