Chapter 2531 Seated at the table, Alexis scrolled through her phone.

Leonel served the heated food and placed it on the table. Though tempted to snatch her phone away and advise against playing, he restrained himself, opting for a gentle suggestion. “Save the phone time for after dinner.” Alexis glanced at him, complying by stowing her phone.

Leonel served Alexis a bowl of soup and, as she sipped, inquired casually, “Didn't you have work at the law firm today?” Alexis hesitated.

She offered a faint smile, saying, “Don’t I have the duty of keeping you company?” Clearly, it wasn't a sweet sentiment. How could Leonel be oblivious? Yet he chose to feign ignorance.

Leonel showcased his culinary skills, and Alexis, mindful of her stomach, savored the meal.

After dinner, she settled onto the sofa, engrossed in her phone.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY She downloaded a few games, deeming them entertaining.

With housework completed, Leonel joined Alexis on the sofa. He powered up the TV, enveloping her in a tender embrace. A romantic movie played on the screen. Kissing her forehead, he suggested, “This is a film you've mentioned.

Interested in watching together?” Alexis carried on with her game.

She casually replied, “Maybe I'll catch it some other time.” Leonel remained silent. Perhaps, having compelled her to accept him, he chose to yield to her in other aspects of life.

He respected Alexis’ choices and didn't insist if she wasn't inclined.

The impasse persisted between them. It wasn't until 9 o'clock that Alexis stretched, signaling her readiness for bed.

She avoided seeking conflict.

Observing Leonel emerge from the bathroom clad only in a towel, she set aside the magazine she was holding and reclined on the bed.

Leonel glanced at his pillow.

Resting on the pillow was a box of condoms.

Suddenly, he felt a bit disconcerted. Despite his desire for intimacy, he found himself less aroused when Alexis expressed it so openly.

Raising the quilt, he settled beside her.

Chapter 2532 Enveloping her in his embrace, he bestowed patient kisses on her.

Intertwining his fingers in her hair, he deepened their kisses.

Exhausted, they both gasped for breath. Leonel, in a husky voice, traced her flushed face and remarked, “You're blushing intensely.” Leaning against his shoulder, Alexis’ breath was slightly erratic.

She inquired, “Do you want to continue?” Naturally, Leonel wanted to continue. He intensified his kisses, one hand bracing the bed, the other securing her body. Being young, they inevitably became aroused after all the kissing and touching.

During their intimate moment, he softly asked her about her feelings, whispering into her ear.

Alexis chose not to tell him.

She remained silent, her face pressed against his shoulder. Occasionally, when she couldn't bear it, a soft groan escaped her lips.

Perhaps it was the most taciturn lovemaking they had experienced.

Yet Leonel found it difficult to retain control.

After several rounds, exhaustion claimed Alexis, and she drifted into a slumber, too fatigued even to shower.

Leonel tenderly helped her clean up with a warm towel.

Sleep eluded him.

Nestled beside her, he delicately grasped her finger, reminiscent of their childhood antics.

After some time, his face became flushed.

Reflecting on his actions, Leonel acknowledged that what transpired with Alexis wasn't befitting of his childhood self.

But he couldn't resist the urge.

She had blossomed into a woman of maturity and allure. Leonel’s countenance softened as he envisioned the prospect of having children with her after marriage.
