A sense of unease lingered within her.

There was an unsettling air surrounding Leonel from the previous night.

Ascending the stairs, Alexis opened the door to find Leonel at home, engrossed in a book on the sofa, with music resonating in the background. Cooking was not on his agenda.

The table was adorned with gourmet French cuisine from a five-star hotel, accompanied by a bottle of red wine.

Not inclined towards sentimentality, Alexis avoided revisiting past conflicts as long as her relationship with Leonel remained harmonious.

She was attentive to Leonel’s emotions, comforting him when he was feeling unhappy.

Setting aside her briefcase, Alexis half-knelt beside Leonel, planting a kiss on his lips. “What's the occasion today? It feels quite extravagant.” Exquisite details extended beyond the French cuisine and red wine to include Leonel’'s impeccably stylish attire-a crisp dress shirt, paired with straight suit pants.

Even at home, he adorned himself with shinning cowhide shoes. He indeed looked quite charming! Setting aside his book, Leonel tenderly encircled Alexis’ waist as she approached. Upon closer inspection, Alexis noticed a bruise on the corner of his eye. She delicately inquired, “What happened?” Leonel divulged the truth.

“l encountered Darwin at the hospital. He hit me.” Curious, Alexis inquired, “Why were you at the hospital?” Leonel, employing his acumen, touched his nose, pondered briefly, and provided an explanation. “I went to see a doctor and procure sleeping pills. My recent sleep has been troubled.” Alexis accepted the explanation without skepticism.

She scoffed. “This is all because you intended to settle things with me earlier.” Seating herself beside him, she administered a massage.

Subsequently, she inquired about his well-being.

Leonel lifted his gaze to meet hers. In the glow of the crystal chandelier, Alexis’ eyes and brows exuded delicacy.

Her visage carried the tender allure and beauty reminiscent of Rena, coupled with a hint of Waylen’s noble spirit. Alexis indeed presented a striking beauty.

Contemplating the appointment tomorrow, Leonel pondered the potential consequences of the operation for his intimate encounters with Alexis.

The desire to engage with her intimately surged within him.

He drew her into an embrace, initiating a passionate kiss.

Anticipating his intentions, Alexis placed a hand against his chest and whispered, “Let's dine first.”

Chapter 2572 Impatience prevailed within Leonel.

Impatience prevailed within Leonel.

Against the sofa, he initiated their intimate encounter before fully undressing her.

Perhaps it was due to their previous unsuccessful attempts, but Alexis found herself unusually aroused. While in his embrace, she bit her lips and endured his movements, uncertain if it was just her perception or if Leonel was indeed behaving somewhat differently that day.

The intimacy persisted, with no immediate conclusion.

Subsequently, her voice, nestled in his arms, underwent a transformation. She pleaded for him to stop.

Bending down, Leonel pressed his lips against hers.

The protracted kiss reignited her passion.

Their intimate encounter spanned a duration of two hours.

“You bastard!" Exhausted and unable to eat, Alexis reclined on the sofa. “Leonel, you must have consumed gunpowder today. I need to rethink our relationship.” Unfazed, Leonel carried on as if the events had no impact on him. He was the resilient one.

Embracing her, he bestowed another kiss on her.

“Weren't you silently criticizing me for not performing well last night? Yet you've worn yourself out today.” Alexis nipped at his hand.

Leonel offered a gentle smile, followed by a lingering kiss, before scooping her up and leading her to the dining area.

A faint blush colored Alexis’ cheeks. “Tidy up the sofa. The cleaning lady might spot it tomorrow. It's not good.” Chuckling, Leonel remarked, “You're not one to be bashful.” Nevertheless, he proceeded to tidy up the sofa.

Settling into the chair for a moment of repose, Alexis, fueled by a small glass of red wine, grew disenchanted with elaborate meals.

Playfully, she kicked his leg and declared, “I'm in the mood for spaghetti bolognese. “ Displaying good-natured patience, Leonel promptly headed to the kitchen to prepare the desired spaghetti.

Contentment washed over Alexis.

As he busied himself in the kitchen, she stealthily approached and enveloped him in a gentle embrace. “What prompted this sudden change today?” Leonel grinned. “Tell me, when have I ever left you dissatisfied?”

Chapter 2573 A lingering sense of unease persisted for Alexis, yet he quipped, “After dinner, I plan to replicate the recent experience a couple more times.” A lingering sense of unease persisted for Alexis, yet he quipped, “After dinner, I plan to replicate the recent experience a couple more times.” Softly murmuring in his ear, Alexis disclosed, “Tomorrow's packed for me. Perhaps next time.” Leonel turned towards her and inquired, “What if I need to do it tonight?” Resting against him, Alexis quipped, “You gentlemen have your ways, don't you?” “I'm committed now.” Alexis enjoyed engaging in such banter with him. Her cheek pressed against his shoulder, and as he turned to kiss her, he playfully advised, “Behave. Let's focus on your dinner.” Subsequently, he proceeded to the study room.

Despite her inclination to take a shower, Alexis, passing by the sofa inadvertently discovered a book Leonel had been engrossed in-a book centered around the topic of adopting children.
