Nestled against his back, Alexis whispered gently, “Give me some time, okay?”
A hint of surprise flickered across Leonel’s expression.
He was familiar with Alexis to the extent that he could recognize her proud nature, realizing that she wouldn’t speak vaguely unless she was really hesitating. Additionally, her openness to share her life with him and her softened attitude served as clear signs.

Leonel assessed her expression.
After a brief pause, he smiled, remarking, “The community is small. If you’d rather not meet them, there’s no pressure. We’re not exactly in the same social orbit.”
Alexis offered a faint smile and exited the car.
Inside the law firm, she promptly dialed Edwin, declaring, “I’ve got some funds that might come in handy for you!”
Edwin’s voice carried fatigue, probably a result of his strenuous battles with the Smith family.
“No, Lexi. You’ve already been a tremendous help!”
