Seeing Leonel's swift diaper change, memories of Daniel's infancy flooded Alexis' mind. She recalled how Leonel had cared for Daniel in a similar manner.

Avoiding Leonel's gaze, Alexis refrained from allowing her mind to dwell on additional thoughts.

She made her way to the French window and drew back the curtains, revealing a view of a quaint maple forest outside. The autumn season had painted the maple trees in vibrant shades of red.

Alexis’ eyes flickered with intensity as she pressed her head against the window, her tone gentle as she spoke to Leonel. “Why must you be so obstinate, Leonel? Setting me free would benefit us both, and the children would grow up without the burden."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Leonel attended to Cordelia's diaper change.
