A cup of warm milk was placed in front of her. She looked at him and said, I like chilled milk better.
But Leonel refused. Too much chilled drinks, and youd get cramps on your period.
Alexis felt a little embarrassed talking about such a private matter in front of the servants, so she didnt argue and drank half glass of the warm milk before putting it aside.
ALL the while, Leonel watched her, pursing his lips slightly. She had changed so much.
In the past, they usually spent the day with him listening to her talk about the cases she handled in the law firm. Then at nighttime, they lay entangled, exploring each others bodies between cool sheets.
She had never been this cold and distant.
After breakfast, Alexis sat in Leonels car.
Her ears were glued to her phone, and she kept talking to her clients on the way.

Waylen stepped back and let them leave.
Alexis rolled down the window and waved at her father. Bye!
That pulled a laugh from Waylen. Why dont you get out of the car and give your old man a proper greeting? No wonder your daughter is so willful. Turns out she takes after you.
Leonel got inside the car.
Leaning against him, Alexis winked at Waylen and said, Thats right.
Waylen urged them to leave at the show of public affection.
