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.

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.”
