Alexis looked at him curiously.
Darwin laughed bitterly. “Serenity has been my wife for a few years but her heart seems always set on Leonel. Alexis, you have it all. You’re capable of attracting any remarkable man. Perhaps you might consider…”
“Consider letting Leonel be with Serenity?”
Alexis interjected.
Darwin bowed his head as he sipped his coffee, tasting its bitterness.
Smiling, Alexis remarked, “You’re quite selfless, Darwin. Serenity was your wife. It’s hard to believe you want to find her a husband. But you may be getting this mixed up. I don’t own Leonel, and I can’t make decisions for him.”
Darwin was about to respond, but Alexis cut him off.

Visibly shocked, Darwin asked, “About your relationship with him…”
“No comment,” Alexis answered with a smile.
With her unfinished coffee, she rose and said, “Darwin, carrying too much burden can harm both you and the other person. They may not even value your sacrifices.”

Darwin remained and slowly finished his coffee.

Alexis met Leonel when she walked out.
Seated in the car, she remained quiet for some time before asking, “Have you been having someone shadow me?”
Leonel didn’t deny it.
Glancing her way, he admitted, “I’m concerned about your safety.”
Her fingers tensed as she looked at Leonel. “You’re aware of what Darwin told me, aren’t you?”
Leonel was indeed aware.
He wasn’t aware that Darwin had feelings for Alexis.
He wondered why Darwin chose to marry Serenity.
