As a result, she could only feel disgust and nothing else.

But this time, she didn't push him away.

She even wrapped her arms around his neck and let him kiss her deeply. This was the first time that she had been so soft and yielding since that incident. Leonel couldn't help but become emotional. His eyes turned red and he called her name in a trembling voice, "Alexis."

Alexis easily guessed that Leonel hadn't had sex in the last one year.

She felt he needed to let out all that sexual tension, otherwise he would explode. So she began to unbuckle his belt.

But Leonel's eyes darkened and he held her hand to stop her. "Alexis, you think I just want to have sex with you?" he asked in surprise.

"You just had a baby, and I'm not a monster."

Alexis didn't say anything. Instead, she raised her head to kiss him on the chin and gently caressed him with her soft fingers.

Leonel couldn't ignore the feeling that her actions evoked.

Even though he knew that she was just returning his favor and pitying him, he couldn't resist what she was doing. It soon got to a point where he was no longer kissing her tenderly. He held her hand down and the expression on his face became a little twisted.

Before she knew it, he had begun to unbutton her clothes.

"Leonel, not now," Alexis cautioned, grabbing his hand to stop him from going any further.

"I know," he said softly. "Don't be scared."

ALL he really wanted to do was just to hug her, look at her and imprint her body in his mind.

A pleasant fragrance lingered in the air.

Disregarding his own untidy look, Leonel grabbed Alexis' hand, pulled her close, and gently massaged it, asking, "Does your hand hurt?"

Alexis leaned her head on his shoulder, finding comfort in his warm embrace on the slightly chilly night.

She stayed by his side silently.

Leonel didn't press her to talk. Instead, he gently rubbed her hands and cradled the back of her head firmly.

After a long pause, he softly reassured her, "I'll make sure you feel good as well in a few days."
