Chapter 2561 She had a habit of hiding her face under the blanket while sleeping.

She had a habit of hiding her face under the blanket while sleeping.

On the white pillow, only some strands of her black hair were exposed.

Leonel settled beside the bed and gently reached under the blanket.

“Time to wake up!” Alexis was hesitant and didn’t want to leave the bed. She muffled, “I didn’t get enough sleep. It's my day off and I want to sleep a bit more!” Leonel then lay down beside her, enveloping her in his embrace, along with the blankets.

He pulled back the covers slightly and whispered in her ear, “I didn't tire you out last night, did I? You've already had 10 hours of sleep; do you really need more?” Alexis snuggled further into the covers in response.

Leonel felt defeated and said in a hoarse voice, “You naughty little one!” Her hand emerged from the covers and pulled at his belt while she murmured, “Look who's talking, Mr. Douglas!” Angela's Library Leonel held her hand.

He stared at her deeply as if he wanted to devour her.

He couldn't persuade her to get up in the end. But deep down, he didn’t mind pampering her a bit.

When he finally made his way downstairs, he found Waylen already awake.

Despite feeling hung-over, he radiated energy and vitality, appearing more than capable of keeping Rena happy forever.

Leonel called him.

Waylen was poised and composed as he glanced at him and said, “What? Is Alexis not listening to you?” At that moment, Marcus descended the stairs with Elva.

Waylen flipped through the newspaper casually, and said, “Leonel, you should try harder.” Leonel fixed his tie and took a seat.

He said with a grin, “Let her rest a bit more if she wants to. I've got some errands to run later anyway. I'll return to get Alexis.” Waylen queried, “Why not stay here instead of living apart? This isn't right!” Little Elva was munching on a sandwich as she cut in, “Leonel just wants some private time with Lexi! He was in her room last night.”

Chapter 2562 Leonel gave her a look.

Leonel gave her a look.

Elva pouted and said, “But you were in her room.” Waylen handed her a cup of milk and she softly thanked him, “Thanks, Daddy." Waylen feigned indifference and inquired, “So, Leonel, what's your plan with Alexis?” After all, their relationship couldn't continue indefinitely with just casual sleepovers! That was his daughter they were talking about! Sure, Leonel was almost like a son to him, but... It was different with a girl as she might end up in a less favorable position.

Leonel responded with a faint smile, “I'm actually thinking about marriage. It all hinges on Alexis’ feelings.” Waylen agreed with a nod, “Her opinion is truly important.” But he couldn't shake off his concerns. What if their relationship didn’t work out? They had already been intimate. How would they manage to Live under the same roof in the future if they eventually broke up? Just thinking about this was distressing.

Later that evening, Leonel arrived to pick up Alexis.

As they settled into the car, he asked her, “Did you sleep all day?” Alexis replied with a hum, “I've been busy with a case and barely slept a few hours each night. I finally got a chance to rest!” She leaned back into her seat and said, “And you were dragging me into the Smith family’s issues! Leonel, you're really something else.

He remained silent and just gently touched her face.

She had lost some weight but was still strikingly attractive.

He suggested in a soft voice, “What do you say we stop by the grocery store, pick up some beef, and I'l make you a stew?” “And throw in some dumplings too!” she added.

“sure! Whatever you feel like eating... Anything works for me!” It had been ages since they'd had such a peaceful coexistence. Leonel couldn't help himself so he leaned in and pressed his Lips against hers.

Their kiss grew more intense, filled with tender entanglement and soft gasps.

The kissing was really gentle, yet it was also deep and touching.

After a while, he drew back and whispered, “Let's head to the grocery store, and then to my place.

Alexis didn’t object.

Chapter 2563 Their time together this round, while not as intensely passionate as before, was calm in some way.

Their time together this round, while not as intensely passionate as before, was calm in some way.

Leonel selected a variety of items.

As he picked up everyday essentials for her, Alexis observed him and said in a soft voice, “I don't want to move into your place yet!” “You'll still stay over sometimes! I just want you to be comfortable with things you're used to.” Alexis didn't comment further.

Women typically have no issues with a man who was considerate.

Their shopping cart was full when they approached the cashier. Leonel steered the cart with one hand, and with his other hand, he grabbed two boxes which contained 24 XL-sized condoms with some special features, off the shelf.

Alexis who was typically carefree, felt a warmth spread across her cheeks.

She cleared her throat softly, trying to hide her embarrassment. “I never thought you'd be into this kind of thing!” Leonel responded with a grin, “This should be an interesting experience!” Other people nearby began to notice them, particularly a few women who couldn't help but gaze at Leonel’s handsome face. Then they looked at the things he had selected. While Leonel acted as if nothing was unusual, Alexis was eager to move him along! Angela's Library Their situation became even more awkward when they bumped into Carlos, their high school physics teacher, again.

Carlos greeted them with a fond look. His eyes then drifted to the items Leonel had selected and he let out a light laugh. “Leonel, what are the odds!" Leonel paid the bill with one hand and smiled. “Mr. Gibson! Mrs. Gibson!" Leonel often visited Carlos’ house in his younger days and shared a bond with his family, especially with Connie, who adored him almost like her own son. Connie's face lit up upon seeing them. “I was just talking about you with Carlos, and now here you are! Why don't you join us for dinner tonight? I've just bought a lot of groceries!” Leonel found it hard to decline the invitation.

He turned to Alexis and asked, “What do you think?” Alexis, reluctant to seem disrespectful to Carlos, consented, “But we didn't bring any gifts; that feels a bit inappropriate!” With Connie by his side, he gestured for the young couple to come along.

Leonel loaded their purchases in the trunk and once they were inside the car, he glanced at Alexis. “If you are not comfortable, we can leave immediately after dinner.” Alexis fastened her seatbelt and said, “I'm alright!” Leonel leaned over unexpectedly and kissed her.

Alexis wanted to ask him about something but ended up just smiling.

Chapter 2564 Thirty minutes later, they reached Carlos’ house. Leonel picked some fruits and a bouquet from their shopping and climbed the stairs, with Alexis trailing behind.

Thirty minutes later, they reached Carlos’ house. Leonel picked some fruits and a bouquet from their shopping and climbed the stairs, with Alexis trailing behind.

Upon entering, Leonel took out his coat and volunteered to assist Connie in the kitchen.

Connie chuckled and said, “Better to keep your girlfriend company!” But when Leonel turned around, he noticed that Alexis was already deep in a lively discussion with Carlos. Those two boxes of condoms obviously hadn't weighed on her mind! Perhaps lawyers are naturally bold and resilient.

Leonel settled down beside them. There were a lot of things to talk about, thanks to their shared past.

ANGELA'SLIBRARY Alexis engaged in the conversation for a while.

She then excused herself to assist in the kitchen, while Leonel played the game of chess with Carlos, observing quietly.
