Laura softly suggested that she could learn to cook.
Edwin hesitated; he wasn’t keen on Laura taking up cooking duties.
After some contemplation, he resolved to arrange for someone from the villa to prepare meals for her. As for the upkeep of their apartment, he could tackle it during his days off.
Seeing Edwin’s compromise, Laura beamed with joy. She dashed out of the kitchen, clutching the plate of strawberries, and proceeded to enjoy her treat.
Edwin shook his head slightly.
Just then, his phone chimed with an incoming call from Alexis.
The background noise on the call hinted that Alexis might be at the airport.
As expected, Alexis exchanged a few words with Edwin and prepared to board her flight.
She was in the midst of preparing to pass through security when her phone chimed again.
Assuming it was Edwin, she answered with an intent to address the matter upon her return.
“Edwin, let’s discuss this when I get back.

Leonel’s tone carried a touch of tension.
“What’s the reason you’re visiting him?”
“Ha! What exactly is our relationship?
Am I obliged to report my every move to you? Besides, you never told me when you decided to start dating someone else, did you? Leonel, we’ve been intimate twice, but we’re both free. I won’t interfere in your affairs, so please refrain from meddling in my personal life, alright?”
“Alexis!”
Leonel’s voice carried a despondent undertone.
“Do I mean nothing to you?”
Alexis proceeded to seek out someone else without hesitation.
She was acutely aware of Leonel’s anxiety.
