Daniel, dead serious, replied, "I'm smart so you don't have to be!"

He added, "LL always have your back, sis!"

Evelyn planted a kiss on his cheek. Daniel blushed, trying to keep his composure, but couldn't hide his embarrassment. Seeing this, Evelyn burst into giggles...

Leonel rewarded the little boy with something special for his achievement.

He found a platinum plane model in his study and handed it over.

Boys loved that stuff, and Daniel treated it like a treasure, rushing off to his room to examine it.

Alone at his desk, Leonel smoked two cigarettes before heading back to the bedroom.

Due to his insistence, they didn't sleep apart.

By now, Alexis had showered. Leaning against the headboard, she grabbed her phone to handle some business. Hearing the door open, she glanced up, set her phone aside, lay down, and shut her eyes.

It was routine. When he returned to the bedroom, it was bedtime for her.

Leonel observed her silently for a moment before heading to the bathroom for a shower. Once done, he slid into bed beside her, feeling a chill.

Being in his prime, he had his needs.

With his wife beside him, it was natural for him to desire her. So he wrapped his arms around her and started flirting.

Alexis kept her eyes shut.

After a while, her breathing quickened slightly, but she remained silent.

Gradually, Leonel's interest waned too.

"Forget it!"

He got up, went to the bathroom, and shut the door. Soon, the sound of running water filled the room...

Alexis lay still on the bed.

Hearing the water, she knew he wouldn't be out for at least ten minutes. And when he emerged, he wouldn't be in the mood for intimacy anymore.
