Seeing her firm stance, Leonel didn't insist.

He calmed down and gently ran his fingers through her hair. “Shall I carry you to the shower?"

Alexis propped herself up on her elbows. “I'll manage on my own.”

She paused, and then added, “You have a business trip early tomorrow, right? Get some sleep."

Leonel didn't respond, but just gazed at her. After a moment, he chuckled. Alexis' cheeks flushed, and she felt a bit embarrassed.
