The light was on in the main bedroom. When he pushed the door, Alexis was lounging on the couch, watching TV. She had on a white robe that showed off her slim shape.

She looked up at the sound of footsteps. "You went out for a drink?" she asked.

Leonel didn't deny it. "James set it up last minute. You were dealing with paperwork, so I didn't bother you," he explained.

Hearing this, Alexis smiled faintly.

Suddenly, she caught a whiff of perfume on him. Even though she rarely wore any, Alexis recognized the scent from a perfume counter.

She knew it was popular among young girls.

Leonel could tell from her expression what she was thinking.

He shrugged. “I must've picked it up in the private room. There were lots of people there, including Edwin and Laura. Ask James if you don't believe me."

Alexis didn't push it. "No need. I trust you," she said lightly.

Seeing her indifferent face, Leonel chuckled to himself. "Can't tell if you actually believe me or just don't care," he mumbled.

Alexis didn't want to argue, especially not in the middle of the night.

Softly, she suggested, "Since we both have work tomorrow, why not hit the hay after a shower?"

Hearing this, Leonel felt a twinge of irritation and started unbuttoning his shirt in front of her. But then, he froze.

The TV was playing an old episode featuring Calvin, looking young and lively on the screen.

Leonel tensed up.

After a long pause, he glanced at Alexis, who sat quietly on the couch. She seemed composed but her eyes glistened with tears...

It was clear she was mourning Calvin.

As her husband, Leonel couldn't bear it. He abandoned what he was doing, walked behind the sofa, and whispered in her ear, "Don't forget that you are my wife, Alexis!"

Gazing at the screen, Alexis replied softly, "I could never forget, even for a moment."

She knew Leonel's ways of dealing with things. Since she found out about Calvin's death, she never brought up divorce, leaving the decision to Leonel. If he grew tired of the marriage and wished to be free, he would eventually seek a divorce.
