She was pondering her current situation.

The door creaked open, casting a faint light into the room.

Leonel sat beside her in the dimness, his touch gentle. “You're probably wondering when your dad will find you, huh? Before that happens, we'll have our third child."

Earlier, he hadn't gone all the way during their afternoon encounter.

He was willing to give her time.

Giving him a chilly stare, Alexis retorted, “Have you got a baby-making obsession, Leonel? Plenty of women out there would be willing to help with that."

"I don't want other women; I just want you. I want a baby sibling for Evelyn and Daniel."

Leonel's fingers traced Alexis' face softly. "I've told Evelyn we've patched things up. You wouldn't want her knowing the truth now that we're living together, right?"

Alexis’ expression hardened. “You're truly despicable."

Leonel's smile was bitter. “Yes, I am but, Alexis, I've loved you through it all. Give me a chance, we can make things right."

Alexis glanced away, a sad smile on her Lips.

Could they really go back to how things were?

Jet-lagged and lacking appetite, Alexis refused food. Leonel didn't push.

When Evelyn tired herself out, he carried her up, bathing her. She seemed genuinely happy.

Kids were always confused about adult arguments.

After Evelyn bathed, Leonel handed her to Alexis. He met Alexis' gaze as he said, “She's sleeping with you now. I'll let her sleep alone after she gets used to this place."

Ignoring him, Alexis cradled the girl gently.

Evelyn drifted off quickly.

With Evelyn asleep, Alexis looked up at Leonel in the dimness.

“yihat's the point of all this now?"
