Would he think she just tossed him aside once she found her own happiness?

To her, Calvin was like a brother, and Leonel knew that.

But he still did it!

Alexis didn't argue. She just couldn't be his loving wife anymore.

After years with Leonel, she knew him too well. If she left, who knew what he might do? So she gave in and stayed. When he wanted her, she'd give herself, but she wasn't the same Alexis anymore.

Leonel looked at her indifferent face.

He said slowly, “It's been almost two years! Aren't you afraid that ...?"

With a faint smile, Alexis cut him off. "You don't have to push yourself so hard, Mr. Douglas."

Then she brushed past him and left.

Alone in the dim room, Leonel's face darkened, his true hidden self screaming to break free...

After a while, he composed himself and followed her out.

Outside the room, the light made everything bright.

He saw Alexis descending the stairs, chatting casually with Waylen, her demeanor lazy and charming.

In that, Alexis was irresistible.

Leonel hastened to keep pace with Alexis. Then, he naturally wrapped his arms around her waist in front of Waylen and greeted, “Hey Dad, Alexis and I are heading back!"

Waylen couldn't miss the deliberate display.

Knowing they were putting on a show, Waylen, their father, didn't know how to respond. He just gave a slight nod.

Through the hallway they went, reaching the yard's parking lot, with Alexis in his embrace.

“Let me go!"

Alexis tried to push his hand away but Leonel whispered in her ear, "Your dad's right behind us! Are you certain you want to shove your husband away with him watching?"
