He always believed that Alexis, being deeply connected to her hometown of Duefron, would inevitably return. If she didn't return, he thought he would go crazy.

If she hadn't returned by the time he was 35, he would have to make her come back.

Leonel would consider taking over the Exceed Group and deal with Marcus and Edwin. He would to all the terrible things to force Alexis to come back. Even if it meant being despised and shameless, he couldn't care less. That was the kind of person he really was.

But now, Alexis was back.

He was in a good mood and pushed away all those darker thoughts.

Words said by men during intimate moments shouldn't be taken seriously. When Alexis posed her question to Leonel, he kissed her softly and whispered, “I would come looking for you, however long it took."

A subtle smile graced Alexis' face.

Her eyes and expression were filled with a deep, romantic allure. She wasn't like the little girl he remembered. He was overwhelmed by this and couldn't resist intensifying their lovemaking.

He was immersed in the sex and still found himself craving more.

He leaned closer to Alexis and spoke in a rough, seductive tone.

“Alexis, tell me you love me."

Alexis thought he was greedy.

Previously, he wanted her to call him ‘honey,’ and now he sought a declaration of her love. She felt hesitant to say it and was somewhat uncomfortable.

Alexis thought that Leonel might press her to voice her feelings, as he had done before.

However, he chose not to.

He just continued their intimate moment and kept whispering into her ear that he loved her.

Perhaps all women loved hearing that.

When Alexis heard that, she was intensely drawn to him. This night seemed to be best since they had reunited.

After the sex, Leonel turned over.

He embraced her, tenderly held her leg, and lifted it.
