Alexis didn't object. Instead, she leaned against the bed's headrest and perused the law firm's documents.

Unable to resist, Leonel inquired, “Do you really need to go through all that tonight? Why are you so busy?"

Without lifting her gaze, Alexis replied softly, "I'm indeed swamped. Between managing the law firm and Exceed Group, along with looking after three children, life isn't as easy for me as it is for you and Hester."

Leonel was left speechless.

After a moment, he croaked, "If you're ever too swamped, you can send the kids over to my place."
