After stating this, he began to gently towel her body dry.

Leonel removed Alexis' nightgown and proceeded to scrub her body gently. Just as his hand moved toward her private area, Alexis stopped him, feeling embarrassed.

"What's wrong? I don't mind," he reassured her softly. "You silly girl."

Then he continued to gently scrub every part of her body.

Occasionally, Alexis stole glances at him, the quietness of the bathroom almost making her forget the past fights.

Once he finished scrubbing her body, Leonel panted slightly as he spoke. “There we go! Let me help you get dressed."

Taking the pajamas from him, Alexis insisted, "I can manage it myself."

However, Leonel had already dressed her and carefully buttoned up the clothes for her. Then, he couldn't help but ask, "This seems quite inconvenient. Remember to wake me up when you need to feed the baby at night."

Upon hearing that, Alexis raised her head to look at him.

After buttoning up her dress, Leonel lifted her carefully, not allowing her to do anything by herself or even walk on her own, as if she were a baby.

Leaning close to him, Alexis could feel the heat radiating from Leonel's body.

As an adult, she understood what it meant. She bit her Lip and said softly, “Actually, I can walk by myself... Maybe you should take a shower."

She knew that Leonel always had strong urges in that regard. Clearly, he was aroused at the moment. It would be better for him to take care of his needs on his own.

But Leonel didn't release her. Instead, he carried her back to the bedroom and placed her gently on the cozy bed.

He didn't leave immediately but instead knelt by the bed, staring at her intently.

Alexis' long brown hair spread on the white pillow, creating a stunning sight that Leonel found endlessly captivating. Feeling a bit uneasy, Alexis turned her face away and murmured, "You can go take the shower now. I'm feeling sleepy.”

Her slight shyness didn't go unnoticed by Leonel.

Observing her shyness, Leonel couldn't bear it any longer. He tenderly stroked her hair, and then leaned in towards her. However, to his surprise, Alexis nervously evaded his advance.

Taken aback, Leonel asked in a hoarse voice, "You're afraid of me, aren't you, Alexis?" It wasn't framed as a question but rather as a realization.

"No, I'm not!" Alexis hastily replied.
