“I’m drained! Leonel, I swear I’m not doing this again! It’s more exhausting than a day in court!”
Leonel rinsed the pork ribs and commenced the stewing process.
Additionally, he organized the purchased items, stowing them away meticulously. His familiarity suggested he was right at home.
Concluding his tasks, he washed an apple for Alexis.
“Once we’re married, let’s employ two house maids-one for cleaning and another for cooking, but they don’t have to be here all the time.

Alternatively, I could take charge of the cooking, but it might impact my career. Can’t have overly high expectations for a house husband, you know.”
Following his words, he affectionately nuzzled his tall, straight nose against hers.

Alexis couldn’t help but find him shamelessly audacious.
Ha! He’d barely been at her place for a few days, and he was already discussing marriage?
Biting into the apple, she remarked, “You’re overthinking! This is temporary, remember?”
Leonel grinned.
“I’ve mentioned it before-you’ll grow addicted to me!”
With that, he immersed himself in the kitchen tasks.
Alexis reclined against the sofa, engrossed in TV and nibbling on the apple. Occasionally, her gaze drifted toward Leonel’s figure in the kitchen. Elegance and poise, coupled with culinary skills-not a bad combination!
Were it not for his murky past, he would genuinely embody the qualities of an ideal husband!
A soft sigh escaped her Lips.
After completing the pork rib soup, Leonel prepared a meal for Alexis.
Instructing her to eat first, he headed out to deliver the soup to the hospital.
“I’ll handle it!” Alexis hesitated to impose on him further.
Yet Leonel had already donned a coat.
Securing the car keys, he uttered gently, “When pursuing someone, a bit of sincerity is in order, Alexis. I’m sincere about this.”
Alexis intended to offer some perfunctory responses, but words eluded her.
Only after a considerable amount of time had passed did she finally express her gratitude.
Following Leonel’s departure, the door closed softly, leaving Alexis alone at the dining table.
