Of course, he couldn't help but regret his actions.

But under the circumstances at that time, no man could've resisted such temptation.

Alexis' expression darkened. She couldn't stand hearing him talk about that, so she tried to push Leonel away, but the man had already held her chin and kissed her gently.

She immediately stopped fighting, trembling slightly in his arms.

Just when things were about to get heated, Waylen came back home with Evelyn. The little girl hadn't seen her father in a few days, so she came running in as soon as she saw the car parked out front.

“Daddy? Where are you?"

Leonel felt caught between a rock and a hard place.

He looked down at his bulging crotch and then at Alexis, who wasn't looking any better.

Her cheeks were red, her eyes glazed over. Even her pink Lips were parted slightly as she panted.

It took a while for Leonel to calm himself down. “I'll go and say hi.

You stay here and rest."

After saying that, he pecked her on the lips and then trotted back inside the house.

A moment later, the sound of Evelyn's happy giggles reached Alexis' ears.

Leaning back in her chair, Alexis cupped her cheek with her hand.

She felt hot.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Evelyn started to feel sleepy after playing outside all morning and the excitement over her father's return started to die down.

She sat on Leonel's lap and rested her head on his shoulder, her eyelids drooping slightly.

Still, she tried to fight the urge to fall asleep.

In the end, Leonel had to rub her back and lull her to sleep. Soon, she started to snore softly.

Leonel adjusted the thermostat to a comfortable temperature.
