Hence, she didn't want to think about it anymore.

But one fateful day, she ran into Leonel and his girlfriend at a formal business event.

Leonel wasn't seated on his wheelchair. Instead, he leaned against the sofa with a glass in hand.

It seemed his gout had improved, or so Alexis thought.

He was with an elegant woman in her early 3@s that looked beautiful and had a nice figure.

Alexis immediately recognized her as Hester Molina, a familiar face in the television business in Duefron.

Right now, she was standing right beside Leonel, her arm entwined with his in an intimate manner.

Alexis quietly observed them for a brief moment without saying a word.

Since they were divorced, she had made up her mind to avoid speaking to him unless they absolutely had to.

She only greeted him with a nod and turned to leave, but Leonel stopped her by calling her name.

Alexis stopped in her tracks.

It took a moment before she turned around, pasted a friendly smile on her face, and asked him, “Leonel, what's up?"

But Leonel simply stared at her in silence.

After a while, he took Hester's hand.

Alexis looked at them calmly and in silence.

She could see that Leonel was flaunting his new relationship in her face.

“How's it going with that guy Hank?" Leonel suddenly asked.

Alexis couldn't help but chuckle. "What answer do you want to hear?" she asked him.

Leonel didn't say anything at first.

But after a moment of silence, he said with a chuckle, “Forget it. I just want to introduce my girlfriend to you. This is Hester."
