When Leonel returned, he noticed Daniel staring at him. Opening the food container, Leonel asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Daniel, being a child, struggled to stay composed.

Despite his face turning red from holding back, Daniel mumbled, "I saw you kissing mommy."

Leonel paused, his hand frozen.

He looked up at Daniel, who added awkwardly, “Mommy will be upset if she finds out."

Leonel replied softly, “Then let's keep this between us, okay?"

Daniel bit his Lip.

He didn't voice it, but he inwardly disapproved of such actions.

Leonel felt a bit embarrassed.

It was just a kiss, yet he reacted with such impulsiveness and passion.

He said no more and fed Daniel his late dinner.

Now that Daniel had recovered, he gobbled up twelve dumplings straight away. Glancing at the over twenty dumplings left, he remarked, "They won't taste as good tomorrow."

Leonel stroked Daniel's head gently and offered, “If you want more, I'll make them for you tomorrow."

Full and tired, Daniel felt like sleeping again.

He lay his head on the soft pillow and just looked at Leonel, saying nothing.

"Are you still upset with daddy?" Leonel asked as he caressed Daniel's face.

Daniel nodded.

Leonel's face fell a little in disappointment, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he just soothed Daniel, trying to help him fall asleep.

Daniel drifted off quickly.

Leonel sat in silence for a while. Alexis hadn't appeared. She probably wanted to avoid confronting the situation about the kiss.
