Chapter 2461 Alexis escorted him to the door.

However, he looked down and softly suggested, “Why don’t we go for a stroll? It shouldn't be all about sex for couples, right Alexis?” She was about to object, but he was already assisting her into her coat.

Before she fully realized it, she was already in Leonel’s car.

He had upgraded to a more luxurious vehicle and he looked rather stylish behind the wheel. Alexis cleared her throat.

“Where are we headed?” “Let's just stroll around! There's a square up ahead with a night market. How about there? Angela's Library Girls usually enjoy these places, don't they?” Alexis reclined in her seat.

“I'm not like Olivia and Laura.” Leonel gave a slight smile and said nothing, but he drove towards the market.

The early spring night was serene, and the car ride was peaceful.

They had had feelings for each other since they were young. And now that their relationship had gotten physical, there was a sense of vagueness between them.

Silence enveloped the car.

After ten minutes, Leonel pulled up the car and walked around to open Alexis’ door.

Observing a group of middle-aged women dancing in the square, Alexis squinted, reluctant to leave the car.

“You mentioned a night market, why are we at a square dance?” Leonel responded with a smile.

He gently helped her out and leaned in to kiss her ear.

“The night market is close to this area. No need to rush.” Alexis looked at him curiously, “You seem quite familiar with this place.” “I live around here. I often stroll down here whenever I'm free.” Alexis looked at him with a mix of curiosity and bemusement.

Chapter 2462 Leonel held her hand and led her on a leisurely walk like a long-married couple.

This was a new experience for Alexis.

She felt a little uncomfortable at first but he wrapped an arm around her and asked with a husky voice, “Is this better?” In response, Alexis playfully kicked him.

Seizing the moment, he leaned in to kiss her.

In the cool night air, his lips were warm. It carried a strong masculine energy that shrouded her right at the bustling park.

The onlookers looked at them, but the couple was lost in their own world! After the kiss, Leonel whispered in her ear, “I've been longing to kiss you and I was worried you wouldn't like it. How have the last 10 days been for you? Did you even miss me? Because you didn't call” “You didn't call me either,” she retorted.

He kissed her once more.

“Then I'l make it up to you tonight!” Feeling her cheeks warm, Alexis gently pushed him away and walked ahead.

Leonel quickened his pace to catch up with her.

ANGELA'SLIBRARY After some time, Alexis pointed at a small stall and exclaimed, “Is that candied chestnut being sold there? Leonel, you knew about this, didn’t you?" Leonel just gave a knowing smile and accompanied her to the stall.

“Hello, I'd like to purchase a pound of your candied chestnut, please.” The vendor was greeted by the sight of a stunning couple. While he busied himself with the order, he asked, “Are you two a couple here for some snacks? You seem like a perfect match.” Leonel handed over a hundred-dollar bill and told him to keep the change.

With a casual smile, he replied, “Yes, we are! We've just moved here after our wedding, a little over a month ago.” The vendor handed over the package along with his well-wishes, “Congratulations, and may you be blessed with a child soon!” Alexis coughed slightly. She chose not to expose Leonel.

As they continued their walk, she snapped lightly, “Can't find anyone else to marry? Are you really stuck on me?” Leonel peeled a chestnut and offered it to her. He then replied slowly, “Isn't it nice for us to be together? We seem to match well in every aspect.” Alexis remained quiet.

Chapter 2463 Understanding she needed time to think, he didn’t press further. He gently rubbed her hair and said, “There's no rush. Take your time to think." In the meantime, he wanted to look after her. He didn't want her seeing anyone else.

Leonel wasn't typically a possessive man.

He only felt jealous around Alexis, especially if she paid attention to someone else.

Under the night sky, their eyes met.

A voice exclaimed out of nowhere, “You're the reason Colin and I are divorced! His business is ruined too! If not for you, I'd still be enjoying my life.” The woman who spoke made a move to claw at Alexis’ face.

Her action seemed practiced, as if she had done this to many before.

Angela's Library Alexis was caught off guard.

To her surprise, Leonel stepped in to protect her. He received the vicious scratches on his face. His face was marked with five deep, bleeding scratches. It was terrifying.

“Leonel! Don't be reckless!” Despite the pain, Leonel continued to shield Alexis. He didn’t hold back against the woman and he forcefully kicked her so she Landed hard. She began to throw a fit that lacked any grace one would expect from a lady.

It could be heard from her cries that after her divorce from Colin, his business struggled.

She had shown concern for her ex-husband and even lent him 5 million dollars, which didnt end up helping him at all.

She was now blaming Alexis for her loss.

Bystanders turned to Alexis and Leonel, curious to hear their response.

Alexis responded with a cold sneer, “I secured 50 million dollars for you in the divorce. You had enough for a comfortable life. But you chose to give the money back to Colin. Who's to blame now?” The woman sat quietly on the ground, defeated.

Alexis was strong-willed. She felt no sympathy for the woman and immediately called the police.
