He walked up to her and held her waist from behind.

His hand ran over her body and caressed her lovingly. But Alexis suddenly screamed, "Leonel!"

He had just bitten her tender neck.

He was not seeking to have sex with her. He just wanted to vent his emotions. He'd been wanting to do this for a long time.

Carrying her in his arms, he stumbled to the bed and pinned her down on it. Both of their bodies clung to each other, and he asked in her ear in a trembling voice, “Why did you change your mind? Is it because you pity me?"

It took Alexis a while to understand what he was referring to.

He was referring to her planned visit to see Jessie.

She really couldn't figure out exactly what Leonel was thinking. He never used to worry about such things in the past. After hesitating for a moment, she quietly said, "Then I won't go."

Leonel held her tightly in his arms and took a deep breath before replying. “In fact, I never wanted you to go. You've just recovered. What if you catch a cold or something? Besides, we only have 60 days. Nowadays, I can't see you enough, so how can I let you spend time with others?"

But he also knew fully well that Alexis didn't like to be imprisoned.

So he made a U-turn and said, "I'll drive you there. But I won't go upstairs. I'll just wait for you in the car."

Alexis was quite surprised by this. She wanted to say something nice in response, but she changed her mind. He must know that she had made up her mind to leave in a month, which was why he was acting so abnormally.

Though she was still in his arms, she turned to face him properly.

It was rare for Alexis to stay in Leonel's arms so quietly and without any resistance.

She even raised her head and kissed him on the chin, and said softly, “Leonel, what has happened cannot be changed, but we can control what will happen in the future, right?"

Leonel stared back at her with his dark eyes.

Then he pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips against hers.

"You're trying to convince me to agree to being the perfect ex-couple for the sake of the children, right?" he asked matter-of-factly.

Alexis didn't deny it.

Leonel resumed kissing her again. But as he did, the image of him kissing Anika flashed through her mind again.
