Chapter 2781 Nevertheless, he seemed to sense something in her silence and he asked her, “You were fine just a minute ago. Why are you suddenly mad at me now?” “I'm not mad at you. I just don’t want to talk right now,” Alexis explained and then she changed the topic. “By the way, I heard from your secretary that you're going on a business trip this weekend.” By this time, the light had turned green and Leonel stepped on the gas.

It was evening. But in the distance, the golden orb of the sun was slowly sinking. Before long, the ground was covered by dusk and the streetlights came on.

“It's been delayed,” Leonel said in answer to her question. “It has now been rescheduled to a fortnight away.” (thanoss.com) Thinking that the rescheduling was probably due to the fact that he was worried about Evelyn, Alexis said to assure him, “There is no court trial this week, so don't worry, I can take Evelyn with me to the law firm.” Leonel didn't say anything in response. He seemed to be focused only on driving.

Alexis thought that was it. But when Leonel rolled the car to a stop at the parking lot of the villa, he unfastened his seat belt and said all of a sudden, “This week is your fertile window.” Alexis was stunned.

When she finally found her voice, she murmured, “That should be after my period.” “There's also a fertile window before your period. I heard women usually get extremely needy during this time. What? Don't you feel needy at all?” Alexis didn't say anything. She just looked at the lights in the house and the servants inside doing their jobs.

She was too ashamed to discuss this issue with him.

Besides, Evelyn was still right there with them in the car.

While this was going through Alexis’ mind, Evelyn suddenly woke up just like Alexis had feared. She rubbed her eyes and let go of Ollie.

“What are you talking about, daddy?” she asked in a daze. “Mommy needs what?" Alexis couldn't help but feel so embarrassed.

But Leonel quietly leaned over and wiped the saliva from Evelyn's mouth. Then with his eyes on Alexis, he answered, “I asked your mommy if she wanted to try my cooking.” Evelyn clapped her hands happily and said, “Daddy, you cook so well!” Alexis didn't want to hear any more. Wearing Evelyn a coat, she opened the door and stepped out of the car. “You carry her,” she said to Leonel.

At this point, Ollie also jumped out of the car and went off with Alexis.

With Evelyn in his arms, Leonel got out of the car too. But suddenly, without prompting, she whispered to him, “Daddy, when you're not home, mommy finishes her meal obediently.” Leonel couldn't help but break into a smile.

Frankly, even when he was home, Alexis also finished her meal obediently.

Chapter 2782 By now, Alexis had gone upstairs to change her clothes. After undressing, she looked at her body in the mirror. What she saw stunned her.

Frankly, she seldom had sex with Leonel nowadays, except on that night.

She gently caressed her flat belly with her hand.

She felt that her reluctance to have sex was perhaps because her body was not so attractive after childbirth. In fact, the few times she'd had sex with Leonel since their reunion, it had left her feeling kind of overwhelmed.

Nowadays, sex was just like a chore.

It felt like they only did it for getting another child.

While she was lost in thought, the door of the cloak room was suddenly opened and Leonel's face appeared.

He stared at her with a touch of eagerness in his eyes. Alexis quickly grabbed her clothes to cover herself, but he said in a low and hoarse voice, “Don't cover yourself, Alexis. I want to look at m0 Then he closed the door and slowly began to walk towards her.

Still, Alexis wrapped herself in a bath towel and reached into the closet to take out her clothes. But before she could get them, a pair of arms hugged her from behind.

(thanoss.com) With his arms wrapped around her waist, Leonel rested his chin on her shoulder. “What's wrong?" he whispered in her ear.

“What did I do wrong? Are you upset because of what I just said?” His arms were still wrapped around her and the closeness of his body almost made her tremble, but she tried her best to keep her voice steady as she said in a dismissive tone, “Forget about it.

Aren't we going to have dinner? Remember, Evelyn... she's just downstairs.” But Leonel chuckled and said, “The cook said the dinner will be ready in half an hour. Tha Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

t's enough time for us.” Alexis knew Evelyn would come up at any time to find her parents, so how could she agree to this proposal? But it was obvious that Leonel couldn't wait anymore. It was already becoming unbearable for him.

“Wait till night,” Alexis added in a bid to comfort him.

“Are you sure you'll do this with me tonight?” Leonel asked as he lifted her long hair and kissed the soft flesh behind her ear.

“Please be serious, okay? Last time, you slipped away. You weren't like this before, Alexis. Or can't I satisfy you anymore?” Alexis was already sensing that he wouldn't let her go unless she gave in to him.

She lowered her eyes and said to him in a barely audible voice, “Leonel, you're way past this. Why are you still...” But he didn't allow her finish. “You haven't had sex with me in a long time,” he complained.

With that, he put down the things that were in her hands and then laid her down on the bed. He went slow and steady, almost in a leisurely manner.

Holding onto his shoulder, Alexis panted slightly as thrust after thrust slid in and out of her.

Chapter 2783 But she wanted him to be agile and fast because she feared that the servant could come upstairs and knock on the door at any time. Hence, she cooperated with him, which was unusual, because she wanted him to finish as soon as possible.

Alexis found it hard to engage in the moment.

“What's on your mind?” Leonel bowed his head, nibbling her earlobe gently. His tone was soft laid-back, yet his movements told a different story.

All Alexis wanted was for this to be over quickly.

Her nerves were frayed, thinking about the servant downstairs and Evelyn.

(thanoss.com) Leonel let out a groan.

He was at his wit's end.

His attractive face flushed a light shade of red. He couldn't take it anymore, his approach now more brusque than ever.

They were done having sex before dinnertime.

Feeling weak in the knees, Alexis watched as Leonel helped her with her dress and methodically buttoned up his own clothes. He ran his fingers through his hair with an air of nonchalance, betraying none of the fervor from moments ago.

Observing him in this state, Alexis couldn't shake off a sense of irritation.

Leonel leaned in, whispering into her ear, “Freshen up. I'l keep Evelyn company downstairs.” Alexis turned away, feeling that her cheeks still warm with a blush.

With a slight smile and a tone of dissatisfaction, Leonel said, “We'll pick up where w Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Smiling, he straightened his clothes and descended the stairs with grace.

In the bathroom, Alexis splashed her face with cold water, hoping to cool her flushed skin.
