Seeing that Alexis wasn't saying anything, Leonel took the initiative to comfort Evelyn and coaxed her into agreeing to go to the hospital.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the smile tugging at the corners of Alexis' mouth. He was stunned. It seemed that Alexis hadn't smiled in such a relaxed manner in so long. It wasn't that she wore a straight face all the time, but that her smiles seemed a bit strained these days.

“Why are you so happy?" he asked.

Observing him, Alexis recalled the disappointment etched on his face earlier this afternoon at her parents’ place. It dawned on her that he must have overheard her conversation with her mother.

His birthday was coming up. If Alexis told him now that she and Calvin were never really a couple, it'd cheer him up, right?
