But he restrained himself, choosing to let the matter rest. What mattered most was that Alexis was here with him now, as his wife.
His voice still hoarse as he suggested, “Let’s have a wedding after the baby is born, okay?”
Alexis, however, wasn’t keen on the idea.
It wasn’t that she had never dreamed of it, but after having Evelyn, such desires had faded.
Leonel respected her wishes.
Since that night, their relationship had seen considerable improvement.
Alexis no longer resisted Leonel.
In the three nights leading up to his business trip, they were intimate each night, leaving Alexis questioning everything.
On the last night, after a brief rest, Leonel moved towards her again. Alexis playfully pushed him away and said, “Hey, where do you even find the energy?”
She felt utterly exhausted from what they did just moments ago.
He checked her expression, ensuring she wasn’t just playfully resisting.
Embarrassed, he eventually said, “It’s been three years. Can’t you allow me this satisfaction?”
Alexis felt a surge of annoyance.
They had been having sex daily for several days. Besides, this wasn’t their first time together; they had a history, and the novelty had long faded.
Seeing her firm stance, Leonel didn’t insist.
He calmed down and gently ran his fingers through her hair. “Shall I carry you to the shower?”
Alexis propped herself up on her elbows. “I’ll manage on my own.”
She paused, and then added, “You have a business trip early tomorrow, right? Get some sleep.”
Leonel didn’t respond, but just gazed at her. After a moment, he chuckled. Alexis’ cheeks flushed, and she felt a bit embarrassed.
She wrapped herself in a bath towel and hurried back to the main bedroom.
Leonel, needing to wake up at seven, chose to stay in the guest room that night.

After Alexis left, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the bedside table but set it down after a moment of thought.
Just then, his phone by the pillow started to ring.
He picked up the call, hearing his assistant’s voice. “Mr. Douglas, the doctor in Rouemn has been contacted. Mr. Swain’s treatment can begin soon.”
Leonel responded calmly, “I see.”
