She sighed with emotion, but she couldn't say much about it. After all, Alexis was a grown woman who could make her own decisions.

While sipping from her tea, Alexis looked up and saw a figure standing nearby.

It was Leonel.

Wearing a very exquisite windbreaker and carrying his suitcase, he seemed worn out, which meant that he might've come straight from the airport.

Alexis was slightly stunned.

How long had he been standing there? Did he overhear their conversation just now?

However, Leonel seemed normal enough.

He put down his suitcase and hugged Rena gently in greeting.

Rena patted him on the back and said meaningfully, “I'll give you two some time to talk."

Leonel nodded and watched Rena leave. He didn't withdraw his gaze until the latter was out of sight. Then he asked Alexis in a low voice, “Are you feeling better?"

Taking a sip of the tea with a masked expression, Alexis replied perfunctorily, "Yes."

Leonel sat down.

The servant brought him another cup. He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, “If you like it here, we can move back. That way, Evelyn will always have company."

But Alexis shook her head.

She would have more free time when she finished up with work. She didn't want to bother her parents. After all, they were retired, and they deserved the rest.

Leonel didn't insist. “Okay. I'll make time for you."

The blooming flowers bobbed in the wind.

The fresh breeze brought their sweet fragrances over, and Leonel breathed it in greedily, feeling refreshed.

The two hadn't seen each other in a few days, and naturally, Leonel couldn't help but want to get closer to Alexis. He walked to the back of her chair and gently hugged her, whispering in her ear, "I'll be gentler next time."

He figured he'd been a little too rough that morning.
