Seeing her daughter so happy, Alexis felt a sense of ease. She leaned towards Leonel and mentioned, "I'm heading to the restroom.

Keep an eye on Evelyn. Also, you have a meeting later, right? Evelyn and I can take a taxi home. I plan to visit my parents."

Leonel raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

Knowing the significance of today's meeting, he suggested, “Let Ross drive you. I'll wait until Evelyn is done. There's no need to hurry.”

What mattered most to him was the harmonious time spent with his family.

It felt good to be a close-knit family of three.

With a soft smile, Alexis walked towards the restaurant's restroom.

As Alexis stepped out to wash her hands, she noticed someone else also coming out of the men's room. It was a waiter, which made her slightly uneasy. The high-end restaurant usually had separate facilities for staff and guests to maintain its exclusive atmosphere.

She remembered Leonel mentioning this, and it seemed the rules were indeed not as strict as she had thought these days.

Turning around, Alexis was not startled to see Ryan there.

Ryan's gaze held a certain intensity. Alexis, having been the object of admiration for many, both men and women, recognized that look immediately.

She finished washing her hands, turned off the golden tap, and looked at the young man in the mirror. "What's up?"

Ryan appeared somewhat nervous.

After a brief pause, he managed to say, "Miss Fowler, feel free to call on me if you need anything."

The implication of his words struck Alexis oddly.

Did he see himself as some kind of gigolo?

Alexis couldn't help but laugh, unsure whether to feel sorry for Marcus or the clueless Melissa.

She leisurely dried her hands and a smile played on her Lips.

“If I need anything? And what kind of ‘need’ are we talking about, Mr. Jenkins? Is this related to the restaurant, or is it something else?"

Her voice was laced with a touch of playfulness.
