Slowly, he opened his eyes again, and a mixture of emotions flashed through his heart.

Looking straight ahead, he spoke slowly and thoughtfully, "Is it because I saved you when that accident occurred? Come on, that's in the past. It shouldn't matter right now. What should matter is that we've divorced, moved on, and found new partners. Just because you've finally realized my worth, you suddenly want to come back to be with me? Alexis, has it ever crossed your mind that I may not really miss the past?"

“Do you? Do you miss what we had in the past?" Alexis asked curiously.

Leonel responded with a scoff.

"Maybe a little," he said with a shrug after a moment of silence.

"That's mostly because we raised three kids together. But if I am to be honest, there aren't many lingering feelings. I became crippled because of you. It's already hard enough not to hate you, so how could I still have romantic feelings for you? Hester is okay for me despite the fact that she's no match for you in terms of looks, demeanor, or background. But frankly, none of that matters. What truly matters is the fact that she is docile and never argues with me. I feel very comfortable with her."

As he spoke, his heart was aching badly.

Alexis listened quietly to him. When he was done, they both remained silent for what seemed Like a long time.

“What if I don't leave?" she suddenly asked. “What if I insist on staying and taking care of you?"

Leonel clenched his fists when he heard this.

He stared at her for a moment with a sharp look in his eyes. "Is that so?" he asked with a sneer.

The next second, without prior warning, he grabbed her and threw her roughly onto the bed. Then he pinned her down with his weight.

This sudden exertion caused their breaths to come in heavy puffs.

When she felt his hot breath on her delicate neck, she couldn't help but shiver.

"Does this turn you on?" he asked with a hint of mockery in his tone.

Alexis couldn't say anything. She just lay there panting, with her eyes fixed on his face. Leonel's slender fingers lightly brushed her delicate cheek. Then he asked her, "You said you don't have feelings for me, didn't you? Then why do you tremble when I press myself against you? Has your current partner been unable to satisfy you?"

He was deliberately trying to humiliate and provoke her.

"You need to leave, you know," he went on. "Or are you just going to lie down here and wait for a cripple to fuck you?"

Tears welled up in Alexis’ eyes, but she refused to leave. She just laid there and kept staring at him.

By now, Leonel's facial muscles were practically vibrating.
